Pet Policy:

While we are a pet friendly marina, we do have certain policies in place pertaining to our “furry friends”. If you are traveling with your pet, please note the following:

1. All animals must be leashed and remain under the direct control and supervision of their owner at all times.

2. Pet owners are personally responsible for cleaning up after their pet. For your convenience and use, pet waste removal bags are provided and are located (1) next to the concrete walkway leading to the ship’s store and (2) along the far side of the porch just past the charcoal grills. Please keep in mind that there is no acceptable area for pet waste to remain on the marina property including the boat storage fields and near the dumpster. We ask that pet waste be disposed off in the dumpster (located next to the boat ramp).

3. Pets are not permitted inside the courtesy van, pool fenced area, bathrooms, laundry area, or lounge.

4. Pets are not permitted to be tied to any poles, fences, or any other structure at the marina.

Any questions, please contact marina staff.
