I notice on boats.rec.marketplace that Capn Rob is brokering a boat
slip. I've heard of slips being sold but how common is this? Depending on the local and what the marina was like, the price is fairly good. I wonder why we do not see more of this here. If I saw a good slip for sale here for that price I'd buy it. This brings me to the price of renting a slip. What do various people pay for a slip? Please give your location. I currently pay $214/month in Shell Pt, FL (N FL south of Tallathassee). Last year when I briefly had my boat in South FL near Sarasota, I paid $11.00/ft/month or $308/month. |

You can get a slip with security here for about $500 a season, Mahone Bay
offers a Mooring for the season with Tender services at $650. Annual rates can be as high as $1500 to $6000 depending on your choice of quality and prestige requirements. I can get an annual slip for about $500 with power but handle security and water. CM wrote in message oups.com... I notice on boats.rec.marketplace that Capn Rob is brokering a boat slip.

Tallathassee). Last year when I briefly had my boat in South FL near Sarasota, I paid $11.00/ft/month or $308/month. Sadly the location of City Island has been discovered and quite recently Royal marine and Consolidated were purchased to build luxury homes and condos. The trend is pushing out the middle class and making it very expensive to stay on the island. A 36 foot slip for the summer will cost you about 4K with membership and other fees. I currently have 3 slips for sale after selling 3. They are not easy to sell because thier value is tough to determine. Owning one will save you about 1500 per season at best. Memberships at clubs like Harlem and City Island aren't exactly friendly either...all pricey. City Island just got a West Marine on the island....great, another place that won't have anything in stock. RB 35s5 NY |

After doing a bit of looking on the net, I admit it seems failrly
common but I just never noticed the idea. Maroone, that seems great. Unfortunately, getting my boat uo there each summer would be a major task. Right now, i am looking for a place in SE FL for a cruise I want to do to the Bahamas. I plan to sail down thereto SE, FL later this month and then wait till maybe March to do the Bahamas. |

IMHO I don't know why anybody would buy a boat slip. First of all most
condo marinas also have annual "condo" fees that come damn near what the annual rent would be somewhere else. On top of that if the marina decides to do a big project your charged extra for that too. The big falicy however is that they tell you that you own it and it will always go up in value. Hogwash. Every slip "purchase" contract I've ever seen tells you in the small print that you only "own" it for 99 years. At what point during this period do you think you wouldn't be able to get a nickel for it? One of the great things about owning a boat is that it's moveable and you can take it to new venues anytime you want. |

condo marinas also have annual "condo" fees that come damn near what the annual rent would be somewhere else. You're "honest opinion" is just as worthless as your info on boats. A 40 foot slip was selling for about 10K on City Island in 2000. Two recently sold for 20K and 23K. In addition renting a 40 foot slip will cost 4300 a season (with fees) vs. 2800 if you own it. You are correct that the slips are only good for another 75 years or so, which might be a worry if you buy a slip when you're 3 years old and plan to sail in your 80's. Sloco screwed the pooch AGAIN.

On top of that if the marina decides to do a big project your charged extra for that too. And if the docks are damaged by a hurricane, you have to pay for that. If you go on a cruise, they usually retain the right to rent it somebody else & keep the money themselves. Etc etc. ... The big falicy however is that they tell you that you own it and it will always go up in value. Hogwash. Sure. Supply & demand of boat slips goes up and down in cycles, like everything else. But some people are convinced that it makes more sense to "own" it and that they *will* be able to sell it for a profit... and it's possible they can, but not guaranteed. Some people seem to have a psychological hang-up about OWNING things, if you lack this hang-up it doesn't make sense. .... One of the great things about owning a boat is that it's moveable and you can take it to new venues anytime you want. The best reason of all to not own a slip. DSK |

Why do you not really own it? What is the problem with actually buying
a slip rather than waht seems to be a long term lease. |
