Slip Fees

[sv_makai]

8 USD a day for our 38 foot cat including electricty and cable in PLC, Venezuela!

Nice! FWIW, Seward is $38 and change per foot per year for assigned slips. That works out to a little over a hundred a month for a 37 footer.

Kai.

The way you keep bringing up Seward marina slip prices. You make it sound like you're wanting to move there?

Nah, but a visit is not out of the question. Gotta go up for business again in a week or two. Nice sailing up there for a few months out of the year.

[CaptainK]

Nothing wrong with that!!

Hey K - have you priced slip fees at Lake Pleasant yet? Wonder how long the waiting list is there...

[phiggins]

It was .46/foot/day at Marina Hemingway in Cuba plus some negligible amounts for water and electricity.

Please don't end the embargo, it would probably jack the price up to Key West Levels.

[CaptainK]

Mark.

Don't know. Don't care.

I'm not getting a pricing for any slips, at Lake Pleasant.

I'm leaving my boat in California. Where the sailing is "real" compared to here in the desert state!!

And just because a cat has kittens in the oven don't make 'em biscuits!

(old Maine joke about someone claiming their children were "Natives" because they had been born in Maine of out of state parents)

We chose Salt Ponds in Hampton as our home marina. 5' draft could be a problem, ha?

Not sure if they would charge a lot extra. Off season no problem though. Weekend holidays all bets are off.

If you get in the neighborhood let me know. I'm the dockmaster at our community marina and we have a 45ft T dock with deep water. Multihull or not .

I find multihulls can often be cheaper, because we can fit in shallow places. I've found $3/foot-month several places... but you better not draw more than 3'6". Often these are small powerboat marinas, with a few small sailboats and a few multihulls. Power and water but few amenities.

I've been told Craigs list can be a place to find cheap slips; I went door-to-door.

Up-river tidal UK East Coast. £3.03p per foot per month ($1.84?), but drys at low water. No additional charges for liveaboards stopping the winter. A little bit more for deep water alongside but inside tidal gate.

At River mouth (10 miles) £8.28p ($5?) per foot per month.

At today's exchange rate, 3.03GBP = US$4.78
8.08GBP = US$12.78

We're paying $11.00 per documented foot (not LOA) plus electric. Cats pay $22.00 (Brunswick Landing Marina, Brunswick, GA)

This might be the kind of thread that is good for a Sticky.
