Not Cool
We are asking each and every boater in the Monterey Marina to please return the dock carts "clean" to the areas "inside" the security gates. Lopez Market called a few months ago to say they had one of our dock carts. The smaller carts cost the Marina customers $335 each and for the larger carts $427 each plus shipping. We have (4) carts for the South Tiers and (3) Carts each for A and H Tiers for a total of (10) Carts. Everyone appreciates having these carts available, please be cool and be nice. .
Use City of Monterey "Pay Bills"
We receive auto bill pays, auto check pays, and recurring payments. Please double check a few things to help make processing more accurate:
1) All Payments are made to the "City of Monterey"
2) Include your account number
3) Include your slip or mooring number
4) Make sure your payment arrives before the 25th of each month
Marina Berth Filet Replacement Progress
G-Tier 8-2020
The filet replacement program is going well

There are a few things to remember over the next couple of years as we progress through-out the marina docks:

(1) On the weekdays the filets are being replaced the water for the tier will be shut off for the day
(2) Electricity will be shut down on any tier the team is working on
(3) Berth licensees will receive a phone call the weekend before when their fillets will be replaced. We will ask you to unlock and clear out your dock boxes so they can be removed for the fillet replacement
