Get Your Marina Project Funded!

Marinas are generally located along the banks of rivers connecting to lakes or seas and may be inland. They are also located on coastal harbors (natural or man made) or coastal lagoons, either as stand alone facilities or within a port complex. A marina differs from a port in that it does not handle large passenger ships or cargo from freighters.

A marina may have refueling, washing and repair facilities, ship chandlers, stores and restaurants and may include ground facilities such as parking lots for vehicles and boat trailers. Slipways (or boat ramps) can transfer a trailered boat into the water. A marina may have a boat hoist well (a traveling crane) operated by service personnel or will provide in- or out-of-water boat storage.

OUR CONTACTS™

Fee-based services such as parking, use of picnic areas, pubs, and clubhouses for showers are usually included in long-term rental agreements. Visiting yachtsmen usually have the option of buying each amenity from a fixed schedule of fees; arrangements can be as wide as a single use, such as a shower, or several weeks of temporary berthing.

Some marinas offer boat storage including rack storage and dry storage yards. Dry storage or dry stacking (as opposed to on-water storage) is mainly found in the USA and Europe.

Marinas are generally owned and operated by a private club, especially yacht clubs — but also as private enterprises or municipal facilities. They can sometimes also be standalone private businesses, components of a resort, or owned and operated by public entities.
