Slip Assignments & Annual Moorage Waitlist

SLIP PLACEMENT- method behind the moorage madness?

When we take into account the future of the marina, each boat placement is a bit like playing a game of chess! As slips become available, we look to assign boats to slips that are in line with our long-term plans.

Generally, moorage placement moving forward is as follows:

Retail/ Charter End= Charter & Recreational

              Floats 4-16

              First few slips are dedicated to traditional charters

Mid-marina= mixed Commercial & Recreational

              Floats 3, 5, 7, 9, & 11

Commercial End= large Commercial & boat ramp

              Float 15, 17, 21

Slips are first offered to existing annual moorage customers who have requested a new slip, and then to new annual moorage holders from the waitlist.   

ANNUAL MOORAGE WAITLIST

The Westport Marina currently has a waitlist for ALL Annual moorage requests

Due to increasing demand for moorage over the last few years, we have implemented an annual moorage waitlist for those seeking year-round moorage in the Westport Marina.  

• Fast Facts: 

  • You must be on the waitlist to be considered for a new annual moorage slip! (even if you already have a boat in the marina) 

  • You need to pay the non-refundable $100 administrative fee and a $25 annual fee to remain on the list. 

  • Moorage is assigned in the order the requests are received, considering the overall length, beam, and operating characteristics of the vessel. Placements will reflect the long-term goals of the Marina Modernization Plan.

  • Existing annual moorage customers requesting a slip change will be accommodated first 

• Buying or Selling?  

  • Planning to bring in a new, bigger boat? Check with staff first, as your existing slip may no longer be suitable, and bigger slips are limited. 

  • Planning to sell your boat? Remember, your annual moorage contract sticks with you, not your boat. The buyer will need to secure annual moorage.  

  If you know you will need changes to your annual moorage in the future, please contact the office. We are happy to walk you through the process and answer any questions you may have.
