Mooring or Docking - Monterey, CA

[More Cowbell]

I am moving to Monterey, CA soon. I am looking to bring a sailboat (35-45 feet). Is mooring or docking space available there?

Thank you for your time and consideration.

See City of Monterey | Monterey Harbor Home Page. If you're going to be assigned at DLI, you might check with the administration there; in my time DLI had a friendly relationship with the harbormaster for attendees.

Thank you for the information. I have tried that website. It looks like there is a waiting list of slips. I would call but I am currently overseas. What did you study at DLI? Thank you again.

"Waiting list" is an understatement as seven plus years is the norm. Some boats are sold with the slip included, and I have heard of slips being an item in wills. This information is several years old, but I don't think it's changed.
good luck John

FAO? It looks like Santa Cruz has a shorter list. I will check out Moss Landing. Thank you.

FAO?

Nah--SLJO (eavesdropper). Moss Landings a nice harbor.

Good luck!

Aloha More,
I enjoyed a week's stay at Moss Landing last year on a friend's boat. People are allowed to work on boats there and there is a haulout with travelift and a good marine store. It's a bit of a drive from Monterey but not that far. The security was good.
There is a yacht club in the area with its own piers that seemed friendly.
Always wanted to go to DLI but never got selected. Darn! It is a beautiful area.
The Aquarium is the best!
Kind regards,
JohnL
