Boat slips...what are you paying per foot? - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

Mr. Sandman · 01-25-2007, 11:26 AM

It has been insane but it is getting worse.

My private slip is now $165/ft , it was $125/ft just a couple years ago. There are so few available that supply and demand is killing us.

Little Round · 01-25-2007, 11:35 AM

+/- $200 ft in Chatham.
$2000 for a mooring

About 12yrs. ago I had to register my 17' CANOE because I put an electric motor on it!! A year later I got an offer in the mail for a slip. Lets see - at 165 a ft. that would be $2805. Good deal.

Mud slip $700 from May to mid Octoberi, I'm fishing at low tide so it's not an issue....

1200 for my mooring

but it beats trailering.

Sluggoslinger · 01-25-2007, 02:24 PM

$40 a year for my mooring with the town in chatham.

Did anyone see the article in the Cape paper a couple weeks ago about the chatham boat yards? It looks like good stuff to me! Take the power away from the marinas!!

zacs · 01-25-2007, 03:07 PM

$100/ft, wickford, min. 20 ft.

Sandman,

Moderation in pricing based on demand might be in the cards shortly. Brunswick who mfgers Hatteras, Cabo, Albermarle, Searay, Triton, Lund, Boston Whaler, Bayliner, Trophy and others said 1997 boat sales will be the worst since 2002.

$136 for the slip and $9 per foot to the town of Cohasset. Can't put in till May 15th and must be out by Oct 15th. The measure the boat from the bow to the back of the engine down. ie my 23' boat gets cahged for 25'. $20 per day! next year I'm going up to a 25'-26' with a trailer and trailer it!

Mr. Sandman · 01-26-2007, 08:13 AM

I know someone who paid 8K for a slip. (for a 30' boat) and he was glad to get it.

Little Round · 01-26-2007, 10:30 AM

I think if peope could get a slip for a 30' on the lower cape they would pay 8k all day long. Unless you have a straight shaft inboard, put it on a trailer. In Chatham they won't give you a slip unless you get all the stuff done from that marina. It seems like everything is $90+hr if you don't rember. If you don't have them do everything, you might not be in your slip the next year.

taJon · 01-26-2007, 12:41 PM

what a racket they run.....

parker23 · 01-26-2007, 04:41 PM

$135/foot. April-Dec. Not too bad for 8 months. Great marina!

MrHunters · 01-26-2007, 04:44 PM

free.... i trailer 2 miles to launch.

weekends suck but what are you going to do.
i can fish every day after work so no complaints here.
I think the cape ann marina is charging 190 ish though.

riverrat55 · 01-26-2007, 07:22 PM

$900 for a mudslip in the Merrimac River!!!
1 mile to the mouth and 5 minutes to Joppa Flats= Priceless!!!

Van · 01-26-2007, 08:35 PM

I love that question...membership has its privledges.

$14.25/foot

CowHunter · 01-26-2007, 08:36 PM

Zip...I trailer the boat to where the big bass are. Get to fish 12 months a year from North Carolina to Maine! The hell with chasing schoolies!

Big Game · 01-28-2007, 06:41 AM

I used to dock at Constitution Marina in Charlestown but it got too expensive (I think they are now over $150 per foot). Last year I joined a local yacht club and the rate there is $100/ft.

179 · 01-28-2007, 07:49 AM

About 2-years ago I was paying $80.00 a foot at Bilington Cove Marina in Wakefield, I am sure it has gone up since then as he had a good size waiting list. If I come back up North I will trailer, the prices are outrageous for essentially a 6 month season.

"uffah!!" · 01-28-2007, 10:43 AM

$85.00/ft. with electricity and water hook-up. Apponaug,RI
April 1to Nov 1.

Keith39ri · 01-28-2007, 12:25 PM

$80/ft. Apr.15-Nov.15 but can put in earlier and haul out later if you ask and bait shop right there. Apponaug.

Hooper · 01-29-2007, 12:18 PM

At Packet Landing, Bass River, I was paying $1,400 for my SeaCraft, then it was $75/ft above 23 feet, a great deal in my opinion.

blaruffa · 01-29-2007, 01:40 PM

Famouth Rack Storage ~$140 ft. And Happy to have it!

macojoe · 01-29-2007, 10:54 PM

Trailer and never worry again!

Use to have a mooring in Ryders Cove Chatam for like $60 a year + Tax to the town, I think like $100 a year total. But that was 15 years ago!

Miles Offshore · 01-30-2007, 05:56 PM

Hi Miles, nice boat!

Sounds like you have it all down there, a reasonable slip rate, longer fishing season and a SeaCraft, as they say, life is good!
