Updated January 20, 2014
ALL BOAT SLIP OWNERS, THEIR LESSEES, INVITEES AND GUESTS SHALL COMPLY
WITH THE FOLLOWING REGULATIONS AND ANY OTHER REGULATIONS AS MAY BE,
FROM TIME TO TIME, PROMULGATED BY PIRATE'S BAY COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION,
INC
1. RULES OF THE ROAD. The rules of the road and the navigational laws of the United States
shall apply to all vessels approaching or leaving boat slips and docks. When a vessel enters the
boat slip and marina area, it shall come under the jurisdiction of Pirate's Bay Association and its
agents. All vessels, and their Owners and Captains shall comply with all federal, state, county,
and municipal laws, ordinances, and regulations, and shall strictly adhere to all United States
Coast Guard and DEP Pollution standards.
2. RESTRICTIONS. Use of the marina area is restricted to vessels which have acceptable capable
crew, able to appropriately secure the vessel by themselves. There will be no commercial operations
conducted in the dock area and there will be no launching or haul-out facilities in the dock area.
3. PORTABILITY. The vessel shall move in 48 hours under its own power when requested by
the Pirate's Bay Association Representative.
4. WET SLIP EVACUATION.
The Marina is not a safe harbor and, as such, the Association wishes to make it clear to boat owners
that their boats will have a better chance at survival if evacuated from the Marina. The Association
will not be responsible for securing your boat or its accessories and all water and electricity may be
turned off as a storm approaches. It is suggested that you have a plan of action ready in the event of
an imminent severe storm. You may also want to have your boat hauled out and secured on land
high enough to endure a storm surge. If you cannot have your boat hauled out of the water, you may
want to locate a place safer than the Marina to move your boat to well in advance of a severe storm
warning. If your boat remains in the Marina during a severe storm, the Association requires the
following:
a. Double all lines and rig crossing spring lines fore and aft of the boat.
b. Attach lines high on piling to allow for tidal rise and surge.
c. All storm lines should be at least one size larger than the lines regularly used to secure the
boat.
d. Make sure lines will not slip off pilings. Inspect pilings and choose those that seem strongest
and tallest and are properly installed.
e. Cover all lines at rough points to prevent chafing. Wrap with tape, rags, rubber hoses, etc.
f. Install fenders to protect the boat from rubbing against the pier, pilings, and other boats.
g. Assess the attachment of primary cleats, winches and chocks. These items should have
substantial back plates and adequately sized stainless steel bolts.
h. Batteries should be fully charged and checked to ensure their capability to run automatic bilge
pumps for the duration of the storm.
i. All lose items should be removed from the docks and boats.5. INSURANCE. Boat owners must provide proof of a liability/comprehensive boat
insurance policy in the minimum amount of $300,000 for each vessel. The CAM
will approve all exceptions to this requirement. The Association will not be
responsible or liable for any loss or damage to boats (including tools, accessories,
personal property, and equipment) by theft, fire, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes,
windstorms, high or low water, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control
of the Association.
6. SINGLE VESSELS ONLY. Only one vessel is permitted in a slip within Pirate's Bay
Community Association's DEP submerged land lease. A tender is permitted if on the
mother ship or completely confined within the limits of the slip.
7. PERMIT DECALS. Vessel permit decals will be issued to all boat slip owners, lessees, and
transient guests. Permit decals shall be installed so that they may be seen easily from the
