Mooring Rentals

Short Term Mooring

Whether you want to overlook Marina Park, the Fun Zone or the entrance to the Harbor, our staff can help you book with your preferred view! City owned moorings may be reserved in advance, while other vacant moorings are only available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Most of the moorings in the harbor are secured via bow and stern and are generally not equipped with tackle to secure your boat. Be prepared to rig your own lines to the mooring cans. If needed, assistance may be provided by Harbor Department staff.  

Marina Park Rental Moorings

Rental moorings are available close to Marina Park. The City owned moorings in H and J field to the south channel (side closest to Marina Park) are sand-line type moorings, which are indicated by a single white and blue mooring can "MP RENTAL" 7 through 10. These moorings are available for rent at the standard mooring rental rates and can be reserved.
