What about Liveaboards?

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

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

Please understand –we receive multiple calls every single day asking about liveaboard permits and all varieties of ‘stay aboard’ situations. We are a recreational marina, not alternative housing.

Liveaboard permits are assigned to individuals, not specific slips, 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. All leases expire in 2034.
