2. Only pleasure boats, in good condition, and under their own power, shall be admitted to berthing and storage areas.
3. No forklift service will be available from Christmas Day through New Year’s Day. Upon notice, boats may be put in the water in advance of the holiday.

In the ordinary course, the Marina will suspend forklift service and access to Marina facilities if a named storm watch applicable to the Marina property is issued. Licensees will not have access to their Boats while the forklift service is suspended and the Marina facilities are closed, and all Boat owners must complete storm preparation on their vessel prior to issuance of a named storm watch. Once forklift services are suspended due to a named storm watch, the Marina retains the right to utilize any available dry slips for storage of vessels. If the Licensee’s Boat is not at the Marina when a named storm watch is issued, another vessel may be placed or stored in the Boat’s last utilized dry slip. Following a weather related closure, the Marina will notify the Licensee’s via email when the Marina is reopened.
5. Refuse shall not be thrown overboard. Garbage shall be deposited in refuse cans supplied for that purpose. No person shall discharge oils, spirits, inflammable liquid or oil bilges into the Marina.

11. Laundry shall not be hung on boats, docks or finger piers in the Marina, nor shall “for sale” signs be put on boats.
12. Marina reserves the right to limit and govern parking space in Marina parking area.
13. Violation of the above rules and regulations, disorder, depredations, or indecorous conduct by a patron or his crew or guests, that might injure a person, cause damage to property or harm the reputation of the Marina shall be cause for immediate removal from the Marina of the Boat in question.
14. The Marina will not be required to load or unload boats or customers’ trailers.
15. It is understood that these Rules and Regulations apply to the Licensee and his or her guests. Any others using said boat must have advance approval by Owner and Marina.
