The number of harbors participating in this program is expected to grow in the coming years. It is an excellent way to get a slip in the heavier traveled marinas in the peak of the season. Reservations may be made up to 6 months in advance of your arrival date. Slips become available at 8 AM Monday thru Friday and 9 AM Saturday and Sunday.
