How to get a boat slip
Good slips near cities are rarely free. Many marinas keep waitlists, and returning boaters get first right to renew. Here is how to get in, and what to do while you wait.
Getting in
Apply early
Waitlists open in fall and winter. Apply to more than one marina.
Know your numbers
LOA, beam, draft and power needs (30A or 50A). Slips are sized, so a few feet can change your chances.
Be flexible
A slip a little farther out, or a smaller marina, often has room.
Read the contract
Season dates, payment schedule, insurance required, liveaboard rules, renewal rights.
