San Diego Yacht Space – Marina Rental Tickets

There is a lot of confusion about marinas and yacht moorings in the San Diego area, so this article is an attempt to shed some light on the subject and inform readers of what to expect. Understanding what is available for your boat, how much it costs, how long you may need to wait to get it, and what you can do with the receipt when you buy one – all of these questions are addressed.

There are more than 20 marinas in the San Diego metropolitan area representing approximately 8,000 slips. Each marina, mostly owned by large corporations, sets its own policies governing mooring rentals dealing with such topics as fees, renter convenience, security deposit, renter responsibilities, insurance, yacht title, etc. You, like your boat, must meet the marina’s criteria before being chartered. For example, some marinas will not allow wooden boats on their premises. Also, you cannot purchase tickets as personal property in San Diego, as is possible in some other cities. All slips in town are for rent.

The marinas do not own the land on which they are located, but rather lease it. In San Diego Bay, all water access land is controlled by the San Diego Port Authority. Companies/marinas that lease to the port are expected to maintain or improve their facilities on the land they lease. If they don’t, renegotiating the lease at the time of renewal can be difficult. Among the many things regulated by the marina’s agreement with the port are the number and type of berths, as well as the number and type of commercial operations that operate from each marina. If you intend to offer charter flights, you must mention this before receiving a receipt. The type of trading you want to do may not be allowed.

Simply getting a slip for your boat may not be as easy as you think. Generally, the larger the boat you have, the longer you will have to wait to acquire a slip. This means that for a 25-foot boat, you may only have to wait a month, but for a 50-foot boat, the wait can be a year or more. Obviously, the length of the wait depends on several factors such as:

o The demand at the particular marina you are applying to, as some marinas are in higher demand than others

o The state of the local economy, as the demand for berths and boats often follows economic trends.

If you hope to live on board your ship, this will also be an obstacle. Each marina only allows a certain number of live-aboard berths. Therefore, even if there is a mooring available for your boat, it may not be designated as live on board.

Hopefully this article has drawn your attention to the fact that you need to plan ahead. Being in the position of having a boat and not having a place to put it would not be wise.
