There are NO fees for mooring in the Town's waters, however approval is required by application for the placing of moorings in the assigned locations. Each mooring user owns their own tackle and is responsible for the maintenance of the tackle in accordance with the Town codes. The assigned mooring space is to be used only for the vessel/boat listed on the application during the season for which it was applied.

Boaters who no longer need their mooring space are asked to notify the harbor master. Existing mooring locations that were not used during the current season or for which a renewal application is not received by May 1st will be considered abandoned and will be reassigned.

New applications for mooring space may be received at any time. The harbor master maintains a waiting list in accordance with the date of the original application. A waiting list is posted on the bulletin board at the Town Hall.

Please note the following local, state and Federal regulations:

1. All vessels/boats must be state registered;
2. All vessels/boats must be clearly marked with the registration number and the boat's name (if any);
3. The mooring buoys must be marked with the vessel/boat's name or registration number with markings at least two inches (2") high.
