Price check ... slip and storage fees

Very interesting to see the difference costs and services around the country. Paying $381/mo for a 25' slip in Santa Cruz, CA. I don't use power, so I don't think that's included. Does include water, restrooms, showers, parking. And of course, we're year-round out here.

I had a Cabo in Newport Harbor about 20 years ago, and recall paying $700 then for a 35' slip. $1100 sure sounds high, but 60% increase over 20 years doesn't seem so bad. It's Newport. I moved that boat to San Diego - the slip fees dropped to $500, and the fishing greatly improved!

At over $13k a year I’d expect quite a lot! Heck that’s about 2/3 of what I’ve got into my boat, motor and trailer.
It may be a bother to trailer But there’s no bottom paint, the boat stays nice and I only pay a couple hundred a year to launch. That’s some crazy money spent for a little convenience.

That sounds fairly reasonable for those amenities considering you have year round access

Can't really compare slips based just on price. You have to look at amenities offered/included like pool,shower, parking(at boat),water, electric, lights, cleaning station, floating dock vs a jump off a catwalk, mechanic, lifts,ramp, etc.. Also you have to look at access/distance to the ocean/open water, low bridges/draw bridges, No Wake zones, safe inlet vs sand bars.... Also property values/taxes in the state/town which effect the going rate and the profitability of even operating a marina.

In NJ they tend to have an April-October season and price by foot(size of boat not size of slip), some count the pulpit and/or raised outboards in that length, some charge extra if you stay past Oct31 for striper season , some don't care but they shut off the water so it doesn't freeze

I'm in Manasquan River, one railroad drawbridge and 1 mile between dock & ocean, stay in til Thanksgiving, 265 express they charge me 26 feet x $165, floating dock...no pool.... Might sound like alot but it is insanely cheap.
