Transient boats who are temporarily given the opportunity to park in a space that is assigned as permanent moorage for another vessel will be considered Hot Berthed.

If no space is readily available for your vessel you will have to complete a Waitlist Application and pay a one time, non-refundable, fee of $50 which will be applied to the fees for Reserved Moorage when the permanent space is assigned. We will notify you by certified mail when a space becomes available and you will have 30 days from the date of the letter to respond. If no response is received it will be assumed that you do not want the stall and it will be offered to the next qualified person on the waitlist.
