Sorry, we can’t tell you where the slips for rent are until you have submitted your completed application packet.

All prospective tenants must provide the following documents which must be in the applicant’s name:

Current Survey (within 3 years) for all vessels over 20 years old. Need a Surveyor?
MUST HAVE! Excellent and verifiable prior marina references.
MUST HAVE! Proof of residence (a land-based utility bill or lease agreement in applicant’s name)
Proof of Employment.

A “soft pull” Credit Check may be required.

NO WOODEN BOATS.
All Vessels should be able to complete a quick “turn around” in front of the harbormaster’s office, prior to lease signing, proving vessel’s operational status.

What about Liveaboard Permits?

Due to overwhelming demand and complete lack of movement on the list for several years, the Liveaboard Permit waitlist is completely closed.

If you are investigating an ad for a slip or a buying a vessel in the marina that intimates “getting on the liveaboard list” as a perk, please know that this is not available.

Please understand –we receive multiple calls (every. single. day.) asking about liveaboard availability and all varieties of ‘stay aboard’ situations. We are a recreational marina- not alternative housing for the Bay Area.

Liveaboard permits are assigned to individuals, not specific rental slips, subleases, or boats and are 100% non-transferrable.

What’s the difference between a Rental Slip and a Sublease?

I’m interested in Subleases for Sale:

Click here to see a map of subleases available for transfer to a new owner. Leases expire in 2034.

We highly recommend renting a month to month slip prior to purchasing any of our available long term slip leases.
