Short term moorage:  The first two nights are free, and then is available for $3.00 per day for every day thereafter.  Long term moorage is available for $60.00 per month.  Moorage is available year round, but winter weather requires that boat owners check their vessel daily.  Water and power are not provided on the moorage floats.
