Q: I'm thinking about buying a boat, but I want to make sure I have a place to put it first. Can I apply for a slip before I buy my boat? A: Unfortunately, you cannot apply for a slip without first providing documentation for a vessel registered in your name. Q: How long is the waiting list for a slip? A: You can view the current wait list under the "slip availability" link. Wait times are constantly changing and therefore uncertain. Q: Can I live on my boat? A: You may stay overnight on your vessel two nights per week. Live-aboard arrangements are not allowed in this harbor. Q: Can I stay on my boat if I am cruising? A: If you are cruising and have made advanced arrangements with the harbor office, you may stay aboard your vessel for 90 days. Q: Can I employ a security watch to stay on my boat overnight? A: Yes, with the approval of the harbor master. Complete and submit the "Request for Security Watch" (listed under "downloads"). Q: Does the harbor accept credit or debit card payments? A: At this time we only accept payments by cash or check. Q: How do I set up electricity for my slip? A: Contact HECO with your slip number (our office can provide meter numbers if needed) to set up your account. If you choose to arrange electric service through the harbor office there will be a 25% surcharge. Q: Can I move my boat to a different slip? A: Yes, with the approval of the harbor master. Complete and submit the "transfer request" (listed under "downloads"). You will be placed on the wait list for your requested slip. Q: What is the draft in the harbor? A: 20' Q: What is the difference between a commercial and a recreational permit? A: A recreational permit allows you to operate your vessel for pleasure only - you cannot use the vessel for commercial operations of any kind. A recreational permit is good for 90 days. A Commercial permit allows you to operate your vessel commercially. A commercial permit is good for 1 year. |
