How much does your slip cost per foot and what is included
- Thread starter Crusty Ol Salt
- Start date
At those prices for the boat, how much is membership in the coop?
How does your coop raise funds for dock and slip maintenance?

Interested to see fred1diver's response. There's a coop marina in Baltimore, MD near us - Anchorage Marina. You can rent a slip from an owner, or buy one outright and then pay the coop fees. I looked at it and the fees for a 35' slip are $451/yr, electricity minimum of $160/yr. and an assessment is $800 per year, so $1,411 if you own your slip outright. 35' slips have a huge range - $9k - $25k. I did some reading on the place, and its def had its ups and downs. For years a coop board ran it into the ground, disrepair, bankruptcy, then a new board was installed and things were reversed and it looks pretty nice now. Def a different model. If I lived near there I might consider it. You can see all the pricing here:

We have 160$ membership fees per year, new members pay a 1000$ initial fee
Shelter Bay slip fees are as follows: Shelter Bay Community - Marina
We pay 9.20/foot per month, which works out to $404. Electricity is extra. Very nice docks with bathroom and showers.

$110 per foot from April through November give or take, includes electric, water, wifi, a bathroom (we don't use it)..... a great slip and quick access to great sailing. No monthly rentals...... Winter storage separate
I pay by the year - $2200. So if you are looking for a cost per foot on a monthly basis that's about $4.47 per foot per month. But that's based on my boats length not including bow sprit and aft platform. So if I included those it would be about $3.82 per foot per month. I get water, basic bath house with showers and toilets. Electric is metered. Electric is pretty low cost, think my worst month was when I spent two weeks on the boat in the middle of winter running electric heaters 24/7 - might have paid around $30 that month for electric. My electric bill is usually a bit over $10 per month. Pretty basic Marina but I like the place a lot. Has a lot of DIY folks and the marina owner is really knowledgeable and he freely shares his knowledge. Another aspect I like is it's mostly sailboats in this marina, very few motor boats. Nice low key marina with a lot of support network.

Interesting marina. If I were planning to keep my boat there indefinitely, it would be a good option to buy. Rents are more than double what I currently pay however. I'd have to do the numbers to see how many years it would take to pay off the purchase compared to where I am. But I'm putting this one in my back pocket, so to speak. Thanks for the info!

I'm right off Sparrows point, not far from Baltimore really, and right across the bay from Rock Hall. It's easy to get to from New York, I find anyway, but I don't mind driving. From where I'm at, it is just under a 4 hour drive depending on traffic. You get off 95 before Baltimore so you miss the tunnel traffic.
What does your Benneteau 423 draw? How wide is it? 6 feet is just about the limit for depth.
I'm about 6 feet of draft (technically 5'11") and 13'2" wide. There aren't a lot of slips here that take my width. The marina is pretty full, but there's actually an end cap open right now next to my boat that's a nice spot if you like end caps. Really depends on if you leave the boat in the water year round or take it out for the winter. If I'm taking my boat out, I like the end cap. If I'm leaving it in, I prefer where I'm at (I leave my boat in the water). If you're seriously looking for more details, shoot me a PM.

I thought in the 70's that is what the kids called it... Or maybe it was experimentation.
Took me a minute to figure out where you got that one word to quote .... I just got a few months ago a publication (I think it comes out quarterly) from my university alma mater and there was an entire article on LSD and the research being done using it for mental disorders. If you 'll recall, when it was first discovered it was being hailed as a break through drug of doing psychological studies. Of course the '60's and '70's changed the focus a bit...

not looking now….. pretty settled up here for now. But thanks! Your daily grounds are nice…… just drove though there last week.
$3.50, including water and electricity. I stay in all year.
The Chesapeake Bay has a lot of coastline and a lot of marinas.

If you ever come by, let me know and you can pick up my mooring
$3276 incl sales tax for my O'day 28. Includes dock space with electric and water, haul out, pressure wash and winter storage, spring re-launch.
I befriended the nephew of an older lady that owns a now defunct marina/resort. I trade my boat repair skills (I take care if his power boat, oil changes, drive services, winterization, etc) and helped him clean up some abandoned boats in exchange for any slip I want. I tie up between two old docks. It's like 25ft wide, I can 4 way it and never worry about weather getting my boat into the docks. I also get access to the storage building for winter.
If it was not for his kindness, and our mutually beneficial arrangement, I wouldn't be able to afford a slip.
It's not luxurious, there is no power, no water, and the docks aren't in great shape, but it's a heck of a deal.

Sounds like a great arrangement, @SailingLoto ! 
On the Delta in CA (Antioch/Oakley), made it to Berkeley last week in right at 6 hours for a weekend of sailing. We pay $8/ft (we have an S2 11A - 36 ft) per month which includes power, water, restrooms/hot water showers, free pumpouts, and excellent security. WI-FI coming in 9/22. Also have a Columbia 28 that we pay $6/ft per month.
