Hiring someone to work on your boat here

Based on what the harbor requires of vendors, ask your provider for:

  • A certificate of insurance with the additional-insured endorsement naming “City of Sacramento Marina”.
  • For hull cleaning: proof of the BMP training or permit this harbor requires.

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 or fee.
  • Pump-out details.

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