Rules for boat owners

Slip fees

The Marina at Dana Point publishes a “Current Slip Rates” table (base rent plus an additional cost per foot; no billing period or effective date stated). Examples: 30 ft $936.30, 40 ft $1,768.00, 60 ft $3,551.40. Guest berths require proof of at least $500,000 vessel liability insurance.

Marinas these rules cover

Private marinas and yacht clubs inside a public harbor can add their own vendor rules on top of the harbor's. Ask the marina office too.

What we looked for and didn't find

  • A vendor permit, insurance minimum or contractor registration: none published.
  • Liveaboard rules and pump-out details.

“Not found” means it isn't in the public pages we read, not that no rule exists.
