Valet

The answer to this question completely depends on your usage. If not up often, when you're up is during business hours, and if you plan ahead, valet is great. If you're using it a lot, last minute, or after hours, a slip is much better.

One consideration is parking. We valeted at Trexler's for a season and they were great--boat was fueled, cleaned, covered, etc. whenever necessary, and the staff is fabulous. I really hated the walk up/down the hill with a bunch of gear, however, especially after a long day of boating in the sun. (NB: Many times, we were able to park at the store and carry gear over, but the car still needed to be parked up the hill.)

Another consideration is bathroom availability. If you've just driven a while to get to the marina, you'll want easy access facilities (for both valet and slip, if you don't own in the area).

Godspeed!
