- Owners of all boats and trailers must maintain a minimum liability insurance policy of $100,000 (One Hundred-Thousand) for injury to personnel and $300,000 (Three Hundred-Thousand) for damage to property. The insurance shall list the SDMBBSC as “Additionally Insured” in accordance with SDMBBSC insurance policy.
If assistance is needed, copies can be provided to the Boatyard Manager.
Vessel size limitations for the facility.
Generally, the size of vessel storage spaces is limited to a total of 30 feet. This measurement is taken from the tongue of the trailer to the end of the prop.
Vessel Storage Availability as of November 11, 2024.
At this time, SPACES ARE AVAILABLE and there is not a waiting list at this time. If you are interested in vessel storage, SDMBBSC MEMBERSHIP IS REQUIRED to be eligible for vessel storage or be placed on a wait list. All of the components outlined on this page must be completed and presented for review.
WAIT LIST for Vessel Storage
A wait list is maintained by the Boatyard Manager. Only SDMBBSC members may be placed on the vessel storage wait list. Those members that have uploaded ALL of the above information may receive priority when spaces become available. Also, vessel storage spaces at SDMBBSC are of varying sizes and may limit timely placement of a vessel at the facility.
Document Review and Space Assignment
Once you have all of your documents available for review, contact the Boatyard Manager (boatyard@sdmbbsc.org) to communicate your interest in vessel storage. Communicate any desired dates for when you anticipate the need to store your vessel. Then, your documents will be reviewed and the boatyard checked for available space. Generally, the wait is not that long of time.
