Just had my marina fee renewal notification for this year and surprisingly there's no increase from last year. :) How's the rest of you getting treated?

First year I'm docking the boat, but the fee is the same as I was quoted last year.

Fees seem the same as last year here, too. In fact, the marina where I was last year was sold to new owners and their rate is lower. BUt, it's expensive no matter what. I'm on Lake Minnetonka, MN. Marinas for a 23 footer start at $3k, go to $4500, and I've seen up to $7k, including winter storage. Yikes! I feel lucky I found a private home close to my home for a mere $3k. Is that crazy, or what?

Hey Sounder, 20 some odd years ago when I lived in in Minnesota I slipped a boat on the very end of North Arm for $350.00 for the season. Oh how things have changed.

$350, eh? Thanks for rubbing it in! :)

I saw an ad recently to purchase a slip on Minnetonka. I think it was 26 feet long, and had .04 acres! It was just the slip, and about 10 feet square of shore line. $85,000. Any takers? :shock:

No increase for us either. Our marina has been negotiating prices now. The prices are different from slip to slip

No change. $1320/yr including power for a covered slip. The downside is that we have minimal amenities and have cross the lake for a pumpout.

No increase at South Bay! :D 1700 for the season, which in these parts averages out to about a week!

I dont slip my boat, but IF I did...on my lake it would run $230-$250/month...for a covered slip for my little 20' boat....on an annual contract.
