Note to prospective members: Membership in the Marathon Yacht Club is encouraged, but does not guarantee long term slip availability for a member's boat.

RESERVATIONS CANCELLATION NOTICE / POLICY: Short Term Dockage (less than 30 days) - 48 hr cancellation notice required - otherwise penalty is 1 day dockage*. Long Term Dockage (30 days or more) - 30 day notice required to receive a refund on the first month's deposit. No prorated refund will be made for late arrivals.   No shows for reservations (meaning the first day of a reservation) also forfeit the rest of that reservation - short or long term. No shows may still have their slip, but on a space available basis if its not rented out. MYC members who are no shows for long term reservations on two consecutive occasions will be assigned the lowest class of priority for reservations for the following two years.
*Call our Port Captain or Staff Dock Reservationist for cancellation exceptions without penalty (Wx, breakdowns, etc).

BOATERS: When you get here, you'll find a "Boaters Information Manual" on the back patio by the telephone. This has information in it on the Club Rules & Regulations, but importantly much local information on Restaurants & Bars, area services, boating destinations around the keys, satellite photos and more. All of this same information is available for free on the www.BootKeyHarbor.com  website, so please don't remove any pages from the manual.
