2021 Season Dock Rental Information
The club office has mailed out the 2021 dock slip rental invoices and rental agreements to all members who rented dock slips in 2020. The 2021 dock rental fee for members is $550.00. If you plan on renewing for the upcoming season, please return the completed and signed rental agreement along with a copy of your boat registration and payment by March 15th 2021. Also, please indicate if there is any repair issue that you feel needs to be tended to regarding your slip.
If you have no intention to renew your dock slip for the 2021 season, please contact the club office so that we may reassign the slip to another member. We already have several members requesting available dock slips this season
We will limit dock rentals to one slip per member family until March 18th to accommodate as many members as possible. As is club policy, dock slips will only be rented to members whose: financial obligations to the club are current, have completed a signed rental agreement and provide a copy of the boat registration indicating member ownership of the boat. All of the above criteria will be required before LFYC approval of dock slip rental or renewal.
For new members or members renting for the first time, we will have at least ten open dock slips for the 2021 season. If you’d like to rent a dock slip this season, please contact the club office at 973-663-0158 to request a dock rental agreement. The open dock slips will be reserved on a first come first served basis for members who meet the above rental criteria. Actual slip assignments for new renters will be determined starting March 18th, after member dock renewals are confirmed.
Members who would like to rent a second dock slip may do so after March 18th. On April 1st, remaining open dock slips will be made available to member guests, with a member referral, at a rental fee of $1,575.
