Marina Rules and Regulations

Annapolis Landing Marina wishes you a happy and trouble free stay with us. We ask that you abide by the following rules & regulations. If you have any questions, please contact the marina office at 410-263-0090.

All slipholders are required to carry vessel insurance. ALM is requiring a minimum of $500,000 general liability and hull coverage based on the vessel’s value.
Each slip is assigned 2 parking decals. Park here only the vehicle that brings you to the marina for the purpose of using and occupying your boat. Using the marina as a convenient place for long or short time storage of vehicles is not permitted. Try to limit parking to one vehicle at any one time; that is have captain and crew car pool to the extent convenient. Guests must obtain a parking pass from the fuel dock. Parking in “No Parking” zones will result in vehicle being towed.
Each slipholder shall be entitled to rack space for one small boat or board as part of the slip contract. A numbered dinghy sticker can be obtained from the fuel dock office and shall be affixed to the small boat or board at some conspicuous place. In the event there is additional rack space available, ALM may, in its discretion, issue additional stickers for a fee to be set each year. Small boats or boards may be kept aboard the principal vessel at any time without charge. When not in use, small boats are to be kept on the mother vessel or in the rack and may not be kept tied up to or placed on the dinghy dock. Any small boat not having a current sticker found secured to or on the dinghy dock or other portions of the marina may be impounded. ALM will make reasonable efforts to locate the owner of any unidentified small boat or board, but failing to locate same, may dispose of item as ALM determines.
We ask that no bathing suits, towels or laundry be hung on the outside of your vessel or on marina property.
The use of charcoal or propane grills on your boat is strictly prohibited. The marina has a number of picnic areas with charcoal grills that slipholders are welcome to use.
No swimming (except in the swimming pool), diving, fishing or crabbing in the marina.
Personal property of slipholders is to be kept on board the mother vessel or in a dock box located at the slip. Any items found scattered around the marina may be confiscated and disposed of.
The policy of Annapolis Landing Marina is to limit liveaboards to the vessel owner or master, significant other, and immediate family members, all of whom are more likely to take care of the vessel and the marina improvements. Rental, leasing or donation of occupancy to any others is not permitted.
Sewage will not be pumped into marina waters. There is a pumpout station located at the fuel dock.
All trash must be secured in bags and deposited into the dumpsters. All empty cardboard containers must be broken down before being put into the recycle bin.
When a vessel enters the marina, it immediately comes under the jurisdiction of ALM management and shall be berthed only where directed. ALM reserves the right to move any boat in the absence of the owner should the need arise. However, the vessel shall remain under the exclusive care, custody and control of the owner.

THE VIOLATION OF THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN THE TERMINATION OF THE SLIPHOLDER’S LEASE

Severe Weather and Hurricane Preparedness Plan

SEVERE WEATHER AND HURRICANE EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN

The intent of this plan is to alert Annapolis Landing Marina slipholders of the need for preparation, and to outline your responsibilities in the event of a weather related emergency. It is our hope that this information will not be needed, but should the need arise; your total cooperation is imperative to minimize the property damage that can occur.

This plan will go into effect when NOAA issues a watch for sustained gale force winds (30 mph or greater), meaning that such winds are predicted to occur within 48 hours.

REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBE FOR THE CARE AND PROTECTION OF YOUR BOAT AND ARE RESPONSIBLE TO SEE THAT IT DOES NOT CAUSE DAMAGE TO ANY OTHER BOAT OR THE PROPERTY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER MARINA. THIS MAY REQUIRE REMOVAL OF YOUR BOAT TO A SAFER HARBOR.

ALSO, REMEMBER THAT MARINA STAFF WILL BE SECURING AND PROTECTING MARINA PROPERTY AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SECURE YOUR BOAT.

Here are some things that you, as a vessel owner, should do to prepare. You are responsible to take reasonable and prudent measures to assure your vessel does not damage others. Please note Item #7 in Dockage Agreement.

Verify your insurance policy for storm coverage
Have enough lines on board early so that, if the storm notice is given, you will have time to double all your moorings, as well as forward and aft spring lines on both sides of vessel. Tie only to pilings, not to dock cleats.
Have some small ¼” line to secure biminis, sail covers, roller furlings, antennae, dinghies, etc. NO LESS THAN 4 WRAPS WITH ROLLER FURLING SHEET. In the event that hurricane force winds are predicted, all canvas should be removed and stowed below.
Make sure all bilge pumps are in good working order and bilges are clean.
Load house batteries to make sure they will last.
Have extra fenders on board and make sure fenders that are hung will work during varying tides.
Make sure cockpit drains are free and clear.
Stow all cushions and non secured deck items.
Secure all dinghies with ropes in the dinghy racks.
If you live out of town, have a local contact that can check on the vessel if you are unable to do so.

A NOAA weather watch means that the predicted conditions are likely to affect the area within 48 hours. A warning means that the predicted weather is almost certain to affect the area within 24 hours.

Please remember, that it is your responsibility to keep abreast of NOAA weather predictions for the Annapolis area, particularly during hurricane season, July through November. If NOAA issues a hurricane watch, you should make immediate contingent plans to remove your boat from the marina. If NOAA issues a hurricane warning, you should immediately execute your plan to remove your boat even if you may not have heard from us.

We will try to notify you by phone or email of any NOAA watch for gale force or higher sustained winds, but cannot guarantee that we will be able to reach you.

Should NOAA issue a warning of sustained gale force or higher winds, we will notify you by phone or by the best means available to us. At that time, at our discretion, we may issue a mandatory evacuation order for your boat. Should the warning be for hurricane winds, you will be required to immediately remove your boat from the marina to some other location. It is your responsibility to have an alternative place to secure your boat.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
