Dry Storage Rules

The owners agree that neither the Boatyard, or employees shall be liable for any loss, damage or personal injury to the person or property of the Owner, including the boat, its inventory, and equipment whether such loss, damage, or injury be occasioned by fire, theft, act of God, or any other cause or condition.

  1. Boats in storage are not insured by Deltaville Boatyard. The Boatyard agrees to use every precaution to prevent loss or damage to boats stored but is not responsible for such loss or damage as may arise from fire, theft, flood, windstorm, or any other condition beyond its control. Consequently, the Owner is required to maintain adequate insurance coverage on the boat at all times while it is on the property.

  2. All boats stored through the winter months must be winterized. If the owner does not give written notice that they have winterized their boat Deltaville Boatyard will winterized the vessel and the customer will be charged for the services.

  3. Prior to hauling, the Owner must notify the Boatyard if he/she plans to work on the boat while it is stored out of water and the nature of the work to be done. Due to insurance and safety considerations some types of work that an Owner may intend doing may not be permitted. All boatyard rules apply. Copies are available at the office.
    Owners are prohibited from sandblasting, spray-painting, bottom sanding, or any other work that may cause damage to yard property or any other boats. The Boatyard may stop anyone from performing any work that, in its sole judgment, may be considered unsafe and or a hazard to people or property.

  4. HAULING AND LAUNCHING SCHEDULES WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE BOATYARD. ONCE THE OWNER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THESE SCHEDULES, IT IS THE OBLIGATION OF THE OWNER TO HAVE THE BOAT READY AND AVAILABLE. RESCHEDULING OF HAULING OR LAUNCHING TIMES BECAUSE THE BOAT IS NOT READY WHEN SCHEDULED WILL RESULT IN ADDITIONAL EXPENSES TO OWNER.

  5. If necessary, the Boatyard reserves the right to move any boat to another location.

  6. All boats will be stored in level attitude. If the Owner desires the boat in any other attitude, the Owner must give specific instructions to that effect. Further, the Boatyard cannot be held responsible for removing accumulated rain and melted snow from the boats cockpit and/or bilges. Consequently, the Owner is hereby advised to ensure that neither rain nor melted snow accumulates. The Boatyard will only remove visible, externally accessible, transom mounted drain plugs upon haul out. All other plugs will only be removed upon request.

  7. Owners with their boats in storage are not permitted to use the Marina facilities, unless they are Slip holders at the Marina.

  8. Customers must check in with the Deltaville Marina Dockmaster in order to use their amenities: bathhouse, laundry, bicycles, courtesy car, pool, etc

  9. Staying on the boat or climbing aboard after dark while in dry storage is not encouraged due to the dangerous nature of the boatyard. If an owner chooses to, they do so at their own risk.

  10. For the purpose of this Agreement, the term Owner shall include the actual registered Owner of the boat, members of his/her family, guests, agents, assign, or other persons using the boat.
