What are your Slip Costs?

[KayakDan]

We paid $1000 for a mooring,including launch service, 2 years ago in Harpswell ME. It seemed like a deal,rather than repeatedly stepping the mast on our old boat-it seemed life threatening!
I told people I had waterfront property in Maine-and the view changes twice a day!
Moored in the backyard now,so even if I can't sail that weekend,I can still sit in the cockpit and have a beer!

1.9 k and change annually.

$6.60 per sq ft (26 ft + 2 ft for engine) on a mooring. Plus, you must be a member of the sail club at $500/year.

This is cheapest wet option that I know of in South Florida. Most public marinas have waiting lists of 2+ years.

Although we have only recently had the privledge of a marina (last 12 years) they have learned how to properly extract boating dollars. 30' Slips (smallest available) with electricity, dock box, and extra finger pier are just over $400 per month with the added requirement of signing a one year lease. 50' Slips are just under $600 so there might be a parking configuration with 2 or 3 other MacGregors that would make it affordable. That could work, right???

I presently use the dry storage facility which is near the launch ramp for about $100 a month-no lease necessary but enough deposit money to make you want to think about it.

Water in the desert is prescious!

Unfortunately with the shortage of waterfront this will only get worse. More boats are being sold and demand for moorage is outstripping supply. Trailerable boats may be the only way to go. In the PNW boating is governed by seasons so there are not as many larger boats here as you might find in warmer climes. OTOH smaller trailerable boats are everywhere and seasonal wetslips become harder to find.

PS - Shane you have a PM.

I paid about $800 for a slip for the season at Truman lake, in Warsaw, MO.

Then, like a moron, I paid another $800 for a year at Stockton lake, in Stockton, MO.

Both include electricity, but charge larger users 'something'...

Truman has water available, but I never used it. Truman also has a bathroom right at the dock. No frills, lots of spiders, etc... Truman is not really a great sailing lake. But, its closer and actually has stuff (stores, etc) closer...

Stockton's marina closes up the bathrooms, so you have to go to the camping area's restroom, which does have a shower and clothes washer. But, that's a hike or car ride away... Stockton is the better sailing lake, but farther away from everything...

Unfortunately, I've got everyone beat so far (really sucks.) We paid until this season $130 a foot (26 + 2 Feet for motor) plus $250 electrical surcharge and $150 environmental surcharge plus 6% tax. So that's $4300 for the season (May 1 through Nov. 15). It's another $1800 for winter storage, outside, on the trailer, with no hauling work, etc. We choose to store our boat at a friends house with a lot of property instead. That's the going rate on Long Island Sound in the greater New York City area for public marinas.

We got lucky this year that after a three and a half year wait our city marina had a spot open for $1700 a season. The place is a ghetto though. In August, a drunk disgruntled couple had a fight, the guy through her overboard within the marina and then proceeded to try to run her over with boat at significant speed, using the other boats as bumpers. Fortunately, my boat was on another pier. The guy is in jail on attempted murder charges.

I've been on a boat club waiting list for over three years (with three more to go) for a slip at $1200 a season.) Makes me want to sell the boat.

Dang Scott where are you at ??? I have been finding yearly wet cost of around $1000 + in MO. Stear me straight bud. That post ruined my day

[Carioca]

Newport Beach , Ca.

200 / mo dry storage and if you kill 70 people , $22 per ft in a slip.

[Gerald Gordon]

In Haleiwa on the North Shore of O'ahu trailer storage is $32.00 dollars a month. No nothin' included. Most people on a trailer run a powercord every now and then.

[marsanden]

Reading how much coast from you to hold the boat allows me without breath . Here in Italy, from May to September, for a wet slip the price is 3000 ,00 € (included taxes). for dry place in winter from October to May the price is 2300,00 € included taxes (with crane and washing away the salt water).

......thats why im lookin for a trail...................

[nchogberg]

We just transferred the trailer storage area from the previous owners.

160/month if you sign up for a year otherwise 240. We of course signed up for the year.

Black point marina on Biscayne Bay. About 200 yards to the ramps.

[Night Sailor]

Eagle Point Marina, Lake Lewisville, Denton Co., TX. No dry storage for sailboats. My X is in a 28 ft slip in 23ft of water at normal levels (it's down 10.5 ft at the moment with the continuing drought) with potable water and electicity for $240 per month, or $2736 per year. Water is free for normal use. Electricity at marina cost. Protected on all sides from storm waves, not from inconsiderate big power boaters. Air conditioned rest rooms, and showers free for tenants. A quarter mile off I-35E, so very easy access. Exactly five miles, ten minutes, from my house.

Another marina a few miles further north has $200 per month rentals but is poorly managed and very poorly maintained rotten and missing dock boards!), and has no protection from the prevailing wind direction.

$110/month. Includes water and electricity.
