How much do you pay for your slip or moring? What amenities if any does it include?

This last week on the upper Chesapeake Bay, we paid $35 with no electric and $1.50 a foot plus $6 for electric. Other places on the bay we have paid up to $2 per foot.

I was paying $240/month including water & electricity for a finger slip at Alameda Marina (just off SF Bay), with full-length finger docks (with dock-cleats) extending on both port & starboard of the boat. Due to our mild climate, I paid that rate 12 months per year.

But I just put the boat back on the trailer since I haven't be using it much. I was very pleased with the price & quality of the slip. Mast up storage on the trailer is $125/month, so the up-charge for the slip was only about $4 per day.

I am paying $206/month for a 30' slip on San Francisco Bay (south bay, Redwood City). This does not include electricity, but that usually comes out to less than $5/month. Amenities include dock box, restroom, showers, shore power. It's a full slip (not shared), so no worries about nicking any other boats when docking. I love having a slip. Just drive up, load the gas tanks, get things ready, and we're on the water in less than 15 minutes.

$2100 for the season.

Includes electric, water hose connection. grilling area, pet (dog area), shower and bath facilities, etc.

There's also a cafe and several restaurant nearby, plus a nice beach, park, children's zoo and outlet mall.

A 28x12 open of course here in New Mexico is $2754.80 annually, and no longer available with monthly options. They do allow a payment plan. Flushing bathroom with hot water is available. Same thing nightly is 30$. As other have stated it is a individual slip not shared. Morring options are available, per foot. here are some photos of the last time we spent a couple nights there.

$725/season
No power or water on the docks.
Marina has a store for provisions and showers and laundry.

Across the other side marina is about $900/season plus $30/month for electric and water on the dock.


Now my friend in NJ was paying $9,500 for a season, but he did have a pool at the marina.

Sorry to be a smart A.. but I don't pay anything. Venture/Macs were built to be trailered and in over 40 years of owning Ventures I have never, except for the occassional short stay, paid a dime for something I can hookup and haul anywhere. Plus I don't have hull maintenance to worry about. Jus' Sayin' Fair Winds and Full Sails....

I pay $254.00/month plus electricity at Ballena Isle Marina, South SF-Bay.
Prior to that I paid $170.00 for Mast-Up storage at Loch Lomond Marina North SF-Bay.

The price for convinience, I live 90 miles from the bay

Is that Marina de Sur? I was considering that, but couldn't justify the cost. I may end up doing the mast up storage at Elephant Butte which is a little over $500 a year.
