Bahia Beach & Boat ClubRULES & REGULATIONS Effective January 1, 2025

A. SLIP LICENSE AGREEMENT, SLIP FEES, REGISTRATION & INSURANCE

1. ALL VESSELS berthed at the Bahia Resort Hotel Marina ("Marina") must have a valid Slip Agreement on file at the Marina office. The licensee(s) under the Slip Agreement must be the vessel's registered owner(s) ("Licensee").

2. SLIP FEES ARE DUE IN ADVANCE of the first of each month. 

3. LATE FEES AND OTHER CHARGES. Slip fees must be paid by ACH. Slip Fees will be considered late if the ACH is not successfully completed by the 5th of each month. The late charge is 10% of total monthly charges, including but not limited to monthly slip fees and any penalties pursuant to Sections A(5) or A(6) below. Balances due over 30 days will accrue interest at 1.5% per month. If the ACH is rejected or fails for any reason whatsoever, Licensee shall pay Marina a fee of $25 in addition to any applicable late fees. 

4. IMPOUND AND LIEN PROCESSING. A vessel is subject to impound if an account is delinquent on the 20th day of the month in which slip fees were due. The lien process will commence if the account is still delinquent on the 1st of the month following the month in which rent was due and unpaid. Licensee shall be liable for any cost of impounding, lien processing, collection, and attorney's fees. 

5. REGISTRATION. At all times, proof of current vessel registration must be on file with Marina management. As such, Licensee must submit proof of registration upon each renewal. Failure to comply with this section will result in a monthly fine of $125, which is a non-reimbursable penalty that shall continue until Licensee complies. Licensee may submit proof of registration by dropping it off at the Bahia Resort Hotel ("Hotel") Security Office, or to Marina management at dfleming@evanshotels.com, by fax at 858-539-7739, or mail at 998 West Mission Bay Dr., San Diego, CA 92109. 

6. INSURANCE. At all times, proof of current insurance coverage that complies with Section 7 of the Slip Agreement must be on file with Marina management. Failure to provide such proof of insurance will result in a monthly fine of $125, which shall continue until Licensee complies. The fine is a non-reimbursable penalty that does not provide Licensee or vessel with any insurance coverage. Proof of insurance may be submitted to Marina management in the same manner provided in Section A(5).

B. DOCKS, SLIPS & USE

1. SLIP ASSIGNMENT may be changed by Marina management in its discretion, at any time. Licensee may only use his or her assigned slip; use of any other slip at any time is prohibited. 

2. ASSIGNMENT, SUBLICENSING, OR TRANSFER of slip by Licensee is prohibited absent Marina’s express written authorization, which may be withheld by Marina for any reason whatsoever, approved credit, and payment of a $1,500 slip transfer fee.
