The Marina reserves the right to use the slip in question for transient dockage at any time Management shows the boat to have been out for 24 hours.

No selling, advertising, or activities related to re-selling, or boating-related services of boats, by parties private or commercial is permitted within the Marina except by written consent of Management.

5. Slips are leased for the boating season only. Renewal of a slip for upcoming years is the decision of Marina Management.
6. Slip selection is the decision of Marina Management, although all efforts will be made to accommodate the specific desires of individual boaters. Slip reassignment may occur at any time during the season.

Boaters will refrain from entertaining or using radios, etc. above decks after 9:00 p.m. for the peace and comfort of all Marina tenants.

18. Including but not limited to those commercial activities noted elsewhere in the rules, no commercial activity of any type is allowed within the Marina except with the written permission of Management.
19. The only vessel to be in a slip is the vessel registered to the slip. Dinghies or other “fun boats” must be stored within the confines of the space leased or on the deck of the boat. They cannot be stored on the docks at any time. Any “fun boat” found in any unregistered slip will be seized and deemed Marina property.
20. Only service companies who have completed a valid Certified Vendor Agreement, and paid the associated fee, may perform work on boats located in the Marina. Owners or their immediate families may perform normal in-the-water maintenance on their boats. For a list of Certified Vendors, please contact Marina Management.

25. Boats deemed by Management to extend beyond acceptable slip limits will be reassigned to a proper size slip, with the boat owner being responsible for the difference in slip fees. At Management’s sole discretion, a boat with a larger length overall than the dock may be assigned, in which case additional fees for overhang would apply. Management’s decision is final.
26. No part of a boat may extend over the dock walkway. Marina Management reserves the right to move or retie any boat tied in a way deemed unacceptable by Management for Marina's safety.
