Liveaboard Slip Lease Rates
There is a moratorium on liveaboard leases at the present time.
NOTE:
“Liveaboard” situations will be governed under ACND Liveaboard Rules, this rate schedule is applicable only in situations determined by the Harbor Master to be allowable ”liveaboard” situations.
NOTE:
“Liveaboard” authorizations granted after January 1, 2007, will require an annual contract and must be paid quarterly, semi-annually, or annually in advance with no discount applied to the Liveaboard fee (discount still applies to dockage). In addition to standard dockage fees, vessels up to 60 feet in LOA that are granted “liveaboard” authorization will pay the higher of either:
(A.) an additional $110 per month which includes water, trash dumpster use, use of the shower/laundry facility, and electrical service of a single 110v. 30-amp connection OR $135 per month with an upgraded electrical service with a single 220v. 50amp connection
(B.) a Liveaboard fee of $50.00 plus the metered cost of electricity used. The determination of the applicability of which fee schedule is most advantageous to the District and will be applied to an individual agreement, made at the sole discretion of the Harbor Master. In addition to standard dockage fees, vessels over 60 feet in LOA will be required to pay an additional “liveaboard” fee, to be determined prior to docking the vessel.
