We are frequently asked “Does the Waiting list for a berth really move?” and the answer is yes, it really does. There are currently 639 names on the active wait list for berths ranging in size from 20-feet to 50-feet, and another 269 name on our standby-wait list for berths. On average, 40 people a year are moved, usually at their request, from the active list to the standby list as they have been contacted regarding a potential berth offer but are not ready to accept a berth. Once someone has been moved to the standby list (always keeping their original waiting list date) it is up to them to contact us with their request to return to the active list.
Over the last ten years we have averaged 20 new berth licensees per year from the wait list. Our best year, however, was 2019, with 31 berths offered to and accepted by folks on the wait list. Of these 31 berths here is the breakdown:
5 – 20-foot berths
14 – 25-foot berths
11 – 30 foot berths
1
- 35 foot berth
One last fun fact – since 2002 we have issued out 353 berths to the wait list – an average of 21 berths per year!
