MARINA BAY and SOUTHPORT SLIP RENTERS
Contracts go out in November every year. Once your contract has been signed and paid for, you have a slip. For returning customers, you will be able to keep your same slip from last season. If you would like to switch to a different slip, you may reach out by text or email to request a different slip-but you still want to sign the contract and make payment first. Once all returning slip renters have paid by the deadline- January 31- slips that were not renewed will start being assigned after this point. In the spring, we will be mailing out your slip number that is printed on a decal. Please ensure your mailing address is up to date. You may text/email the updated address if needed. You will then need to place the slip decal pass on the starboard (drivers) side of your boat, to the LEFT of your ND registration numbers. Please cover old passes with the current one. All boats and watercraft MUST display these decals in order to maintain a spot in the marina. If you have not provided us with your boats HULL number (12 digit number), please make that a priority at this time which you may send an email or text with this information. Keep in mind that if your boat is in the marina, it needs to be decaled, or it will be towed at the owner’s expense. You may purchase replacement decals for $25.00 if necessary.
Marina Bay is a private marina and offers limited trailer storage at a cost of $200 per boat trailer and $100 per jet ski trailer- per season. It is a SEPARATE charge from the slip cost. Any trailers parked in this marina must have a trailer pass. Trailer passes will be included in the mail with your boat slip decal if you paid to leave your trailer in the marina for the season. If the trailer happens to be elsewhere- please let us know so that we can figure out together how to get that decal on the trailer. All trailers left in the marina must be stickered or they will be towed at the owner’s expense. We can not store trailers in the Southport marina due to lack of room- they will be stored at Marina Bay as well.
The boat ramps in Marina Bay and Southport are to be used only for loading and unloading the vessel you have slipped in the marina. You are NOT authorized to allow any one else to load or unload your boat without a ramp pass. They may use the public ramp if this is the case. Use of the ramps is not permitted for any additional watercraft you may own (ie: personal watercraft or fishing boats). If you have an additional watercraft that you would like to use occasionally, we do offer a boat ramp pass for $400 (Marina Bay only). Please contact us for this and we can mail you a decal for that particular trailer so it does not get towed. You can load/unload this watercraft as often as you wish as long as the trailer has the boat ramp pass decal on it. With the Southport marina- there is absolutely no room for a trailer in the parking lots so please be aware that we will be enforcing this rule. Your trailer will be towed as we do not have the room for customers parking their cars to use their boat slip if there are trailers in any of the parking lot areas.
There is absolutely NO FISHING in any of our marinas- whether you have a slip or not. There are many reasons for this. Number one is our marina insurance does NOT allow it. The hooks are snagging customers tarps. The line is getting stuck in props. People are standing on boats that are NOT their property and this all causes damage. The marinas are private property and this rule will be heavily enforced.
There are maps located on this website to navigate where the slips are.
Also, you can visit us on Facebook (Marina Bay slip members or Southport Slip members) for important updates.
Please remember to be considerate of your marina and slip neighbors!
Thank you and see you on the water!!
