Save 10% on your Berth or Mooring Fees |
We still have questions from time to time about the annual berth and mooring payment discount. The City of Monterey many years ago instituted the
10% discount for annual paying customers. If you're thinking about opting in for this program, June is the month to let us know. We will switch your account to annual billing effective on Monterey's fiscal year which begins on July 1. To calculate your savings take your monthly billing and multiply that amount by twelve and then subtract 10%. This discount applies to all licensee holders whether they are paying 1 ½ times rate or regular rate; i.e. 30' X 11.5 berth is $293/month multiplied by 12 equals $3,516 minus 10% equals $3,164 (net savings of $352). In today's investment world finding a 10% secured return is a difficult task. If you have any questions please drop by or give us a call at 831-646-3950

Documentation Renewals
|
Documented Vessels
We have seen a number of boat owners that either forget to renew their documented vessels before their due date or are awaiting their renewal notice, resulting in processing delays and/or late fees.
If you renew online
before
your due date, the renewal takes less than a week. However, once your documentation lapses, renewal times may exceed 60-days and it's more expensive. This puts the owner, the City of Monterey and the Coast Guard in a tough situation.
Please make every effort to renew early and online to reduce your expenses and possible other liabilities associated with owning a vessel without current and valid documentation.

Parking Decals and Some Pointers
|
In our continued effort to reduce boaters receiving parking tickets, p
lease remember to renew you parking stickers before you park your vehicle and board your boat.
You will need a current registration for the vehicle you are requesting a parking permit. Please put the parking decal on your vehicle's left rear bumper or rear window. It must be affixed to the surface. Please also remember each numbered permit is registered to a specific vehicle and the Parking Division has cited vehicles with "switched permits" in the past.
If you have question about where to park, please stop by the office and ask us.

Pennant and Dock Lines
|
A big
Thank You to all the boaters that are maintaining
their mooring lines. This year's tidal and storm surges have set records in the Monterey Bay. Between boat owners and Harbor Patrol staff, we have sustained very little damage so far this year. We're not out of the woods yet and continued prudent care of your mooring lines is essential. Proper chafing systems are essential to increasing the life of your mooring lines. Any areas that have sharp bends in the line have a high potential for chafing. You may have noticed a few blue colored bi-polymerolefin fiber lines installed in place of some boater's lines. If your boat has one of these blue lines, that means the Harbor staff had to take action to ensure your vessel was secure. Please replace our blue poly line with your own new line and return our blue line to the Harbor office as soon as possible.
Thanks again for maintaining your lines and keep up the good work.

Docks and Finger Clutter
|
This article is for those that tend to use the fingers and docks in the marina as
a personal storage area. The fingers and docks are not for storage of materials other than what you are working on that day. Hoses should be contained in the fillet triangle area where the dock boxes are located, power cords should not be a tripping hazard and all fuels or hazardous chemicals should either be on your vessel or removed from the marina.
MCC 17-11 Storage. (a) No person shall store, or cause to be stored, any supplies, materials, accessories, motors, debris, refuse or garbage on any approach ramp, headwalk or finger float in the Harbor, except in containers approved or provided by the Harbormaster, or as is consistent with this Chapter.
Please be a good neighbor and remove any items that may hinder or block any of these areas.
