Marina Rules

1. There are NO COURTESY SLIPS and NO FREE DOCKING. All slips are either owned or rented. Please refrain from docking in a slip that you do not either OWN or RENT or otherwise have permission from the slip owner to use. Boat owners will be CHARGED the applicable daily rate for any unauthorized overnight docking ANY WHERE in the Marina. 

2. The slips and day dock are for the use of DOA MEMBERS and their guests only- NOT HOA MEMBERS, GUESTS OR RENTERS. See Marina Office for slip rental information. 

3. Boats docking in the marina are controlled by the DOCKMASTER. The Dockmaster will use his discretion on allowing boats to tie up at the day dock for a short-term use such as loading or unloading of boats. 

4. Individual slip owners control their own slip. If an individual slip or boat lift owner cannot get their boat back into the slip due to mechanical breakdown, a lift problem, or due to a strong current they may contact the Dockmaster about temporarily docking elsewhere on an emergency basis.
