The office will be closed from December 20th to December 28th, and will re-open on December 29th. All of our software is undergoing an upgrade and we are working to get everything lined up so that we can begin taking payment for 2026 slips and storage after the first of the year. In the meantime, if you have received a contract in the mail and would like to sign up for next year, feel free to mail it back to us or drop the paperwork through the mail slot on the front door of the office. We will get it put into the system once we’re back from break and get in contact with an estimate for services when ready. If you have not received a seasonal contract and are interested in coming here in 2026, please get in contact with us either by phone or email and we will get back to you as soon as we’re able!

The office will be closed for the week beginning 11/24, and we will resume our normal hours on 12/1. While the gate up front should be closed and locked, you will still have access to the property if you have a dock key.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO IMMEDIATELY CLOSE THE GATE BEHIND YOU WHEN YOU ENTER/LEAVE THE PROPERTY. We have already received calls during the weekends for people being locked inside the gate, presumably because they either tailgated someone in, or whoever came in left the gate open long enough for others to wander in. It is important to make sure that the gate is closed during non-business hours for security purposes!

At this time, all boats are out of the water! We want to thank everyone for a smooth transition into our winter storage season. We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday full of food, family, and fun! ... See MoreSee Less

There is one week left in the season; that means this weekend is the last weekend we will be open at the fuel dock! After October 31st, we will be reducing the office hours to 8a-4p, Monday through Friday, and closed on the weekends.

We will begin closing and locking the gate at the entrance during non-business hours starting November 3rd, so if you come down to check on your boat, be sure to bring your dock key with in case you’re on the lot when we close at 4, as this will operate the lock on the gate. We always check the lot before we lock up, but as a few people found out last year, we don’t always see everyone. Come prepared!

Anyone who intends to store with us needs to have a signed contract, current proof of insurance, and payment or payment arrangement on file. If you need a payment arrangement, it is required for us to keep a credit/debit card on file in our marina software so we can run payments on your scheduled date—NO EXCEPTIONS. If you do not wish to have your card charged, you will need to make payment before the due date.

As a reminder, if you’re still in your slip after October 31st, you will be charged transient dockage rates starting November 1st unless you have made arrangements with the office to be in longer. This is charged at $1.50 per linear foot, per night. It is important that we get the docks cleared out as soon as possible so we can winterize the marina and perform annual maintenance on key areas. If you are not on the lift schedule yet, now is the time to contact us!

For those who will be in the water past the 31st: we will be winterizing the dock water systems and fire standpipes on November 3rd, so please plan accordingly.

As you depart for the season, please take a moment to pick up anything you wouldn’t want to end up missing over the winter season, and make sure you don’t leave anything hanging off of your dock or in the water. If you leave a dock box on your particular finger over the winter, we would suggest putting a lock on it.

We are currently on track to be sending out contracts to all of our boaters in the beginning of December, so keep an eye on your mailbox! We will begin accepting payment for seasonal dockage after January 1st, but will be accepting contracts anytime before. ... See MoreSee Less

Notice to anyone coming by boat to the party on Saturday: we will have free transient dockage for Saturday night only! You still need to register with the office or the fuel dock in order to get assigned a slip-- we definitely don't want a 42' boat in a 36' slip, so get with us so we can direct you to a space. We'll see you Saturday night! ... See MoreSee Less
