Liveaboard

 

We are currently accepting only waitlist applications for Liveaboard status at this time. 

Marina Bay Yacht Harbor has a limited number of Liveaboard slips and all Liveaboard vessels must meet certain minimum standards including having insurance that specifically covers Liveaboard usage.  Contact the Harbor Office to see whether we have a suitable slip available for your vessel.

The Liveaboard fee is $275 per month in addition to berth rent.  Mailbox rental at Spinnaker Way or Hall Avenue is included if desired.

BERTH APPLICATION POLICIES

  • Approval of Liveaboard status is conditional on the vessel passing inspection.
  • Berth rate is based on actual overall length of the vessel (including all projections) or the berth, whichever is greater. Final rental amount will be determined when the boat arrives and is measured by marina personnel.  Vessel overhangs are normally limited to two (2) feet or less.
  • The security deposit will hold the slip for up to 30 Days after which the boater is responsible for the full berth rent.  Reserving a slip for longer than 30 Days is at the discretion of the marina.
  • All paperwork must be completed and fees & deposits paid upon move in.
