Moorage Permit

Permit details

The Annual Moorage Permit waives the moorage fee at State Park marine facilities.  The permit is $7 per foot of your vessel's total length, with an $80 minimum.  It's valid from Jan 1 - Dec 31. 

This permit is assigned to one vessel and is not interchangeable. Be prepared to provide your vessel's registration or Coast Guard number when you purchase the permit.  Vessels used commercially don't qualify for this permit.
