I just checked slip fees at Carabelle Florida. *$260/month and that
includes water and electric. *I think that is high and they say they
have slips available, meaning that people will not pay.
Their rate for hauling both ways (in and out) is $308. *Their fee for
keeping her on blocks in their yard is $190/month.


It may be high for Carabelle but $9/month/ft is about par for the
course in the rest of Florida.


In 1985 when I had my '28 ft. Chris Craft Cavalier slipped at lake
carlyle, it was $9.00 per ft., per month, on a nine month lease.

That was 24 yr. ago. with no shore power, that is unless you brought
your own extension cord, and water was a spigot for ever 6 slips per
dock and was used for washing purposes only. Crane fee then was
$100.00 per haul. I really don't think the rate they're quoting you is
really that high.
