Any information would be greatly appreciated

Mine is priced by the slip, the size of my boat I don't think matters, the slip was said to hold a 32 ft boat, max 11 ft wide. So depending on how you wanna look at it I am paying roughly 340 or 320. I think that is why companies/people rent by the slip not the foot, they would be leaving money on table potentially. So I guess I am saying by the foot doesn't really matter. I should mention I am not new to the lake and renting/owning slips, just the forum. 😊

Most marinas here on the lake charge by the foot, but in your case which Marina are you located and what do they charge for your slip, if you don’t mind.

My reason for this is I am on an advisory board of an HOA and we are compiling some information for our members.

Many places on the lake do charge by the slip, not by the foot. Whatever fits, without your boat being a hazard to navigation or within the listed limits for the slip, is usually OK.

If you go to the ocean, it is usually by the foot. I have stayed in Oak Bluffs, Martha's Vineyard many times. They charge by the foot, with a 30 foot minimum. A lot of places will rent you the slip with added fees if you want power or cable.

Exactly right, the ocean is generally by the ft. I was more answering Joey's questions because the lake is more by the slip not the foot. Sorry I was not clear. Yeah as I am sure you all know, definitely pay more for somethings on the ocean even fresh water.

My docking experience is this.

Parker Marine did "boat area", L X W. (Yeah, I know) essentially length.

West Alton was LOA, and for the type slip I had, minimum length 20 ft. .25 ft was 25 X $$$/ ft. A 19 ft was 20 X $$$/ ft.

One year at a private dock in Smith Cove was $$$ for the season, max length 20 ft.

Rates depend a lot on what you're offering. Electrical hook ups? Wi-Fi? Bath House? This is a tough thing to quantify. Big boats? Little Boats? Etc. My guess is, as an HOA, mostly runabouts, no services. You need to let us know what you're really trying to compare. When I owned a condo, the dock was included, no servicers. Period. I was an early owner so I got to pick the place I wanted that fit my boat. Others took their place in line. The slips were all "about the same size" so no reason to differentiate by boat size.

I have been renting the same finger pier on Smith Cove for 20-some years and have rented it from 3 different owners. Each based the rent on the length of the boat, but they never stated a max length. However, I'm sure they'd balk at anything much longer the 24 feet because it would crowd out the other boats.
