MARINAS (Sec. 44)

If space is available, the Dockmaster will assign unit owners or lessees a dock space for one boat.  The boat may not exceed 36' 0" in length and 14' 0" in width.  The size of the boat shall be determined by the Manufacturer’s Statements of Origin, survey, title or prior registration.  Usual appendages to the boat shall not be included when determining its length.  (Pulpits, swim platforms, etc.)  If space is not available, the owner's name will be placed on a waiting list.  This list will be made public.  Dock space will be assigned by the Dockmaster on a "first-come, first-serve" basis.  The size of the boat may alter this orderly assignment.  If a boat is not used, (taken from the dock and driven), within an 8-month period, it may be subject to removal.  If there is a waiting list for dock space, the Dockmaster shall cause an owner or lessee with 2 boats to remove 1. Since the size and location of the boat to be removed are significant, the Dockmaster will make this judgement. No boat, other than the one assigned, may use a slip without first receiving approval from the Dockmaster.  A boat owner shall give the Dockmaster notice if an assigned dock will be vacant for more than 1 month.  Personal watercraft, jet skis, skidoos, etc. are prohibited.

DOCK AGREEMENT (Sec. 45)

The dockage agreement shall be for one calendar year for resident owner/lessees. Fractional yearly agreements will be made for boat owners seeking space after January 1st.  Agreements are not transferable.  The dock space shall be used for the boat assigned, unless approved by the Dockmaster.  The agreement is subject to the following:

1. The Dockmaster shall be furnished with proof of ownership, including valid Florida registration, or a 

     signed purchase contract, before he/she may execute an agreement.

2. The Dockmaster shall be furnished with proof of insurance.  The minimum amount of Liability Insurance

     acceptable is $100,000.

3. Boat owners shall furnish a Hurricane Plan for the boat to the Dockmaster which shall be subject to his/her

     approval.

4. If the boat owner does not dock the boat within 60 days of the date of the Agreement, the Dockmaster

     may terminate the Agreement.

5. If the boat is sold or disposed of, the Agreement is terminated and the space is forfeited. The Dockmaster

     may hold the space open, if informed that another boat of the same or smaller size will be acquired

     within 90 days. The size will determine if the new boat retains the current slip, is reassigned to a different

     slip or goes on the waitlist.

6. The Agreement will terminate with the sale or lease of the boat owner's unit.

7. The fee for dock use shall be paid quarterly.  A refund may be made on a pro-rata basis if an Agreement

     is terminated.

8. The Board will determine the per-foot dock fee annually, with a minimum billing length of 14’.  A fraction

     over a whole amount will be charged to the next larger foot.

9. If a boat is owned by more than one person, all shall reside in Circle Bay.

10. The Dockmaster has the authority to relocate boats.

11. If a boat owner makes it necessary for the Board to seek a legal remedy in order to enforce any

     Agreement rule, all costs incurred shall be borne by the boat owner(s).
