Marina Rules

Thank you for choosing the Des Moines Marina.  The City of Des Moines wants to provide a safe, efficient and enjoyable atmosphere at the Marina.  To ensure your safety and the smooth operation of the Marina, we require all users of the Marina facility to comply with the rules and regulations in this manual.

This Manual has five chapters.  The first chapter cites the ordinances that give the City Administration the authority to make and enforce rules and regulations at the Marina.  This chapter also explains the duties and obligations of Marina tenants and users, relative to the safe and efficient operation of the Marina.  The second chapter contains the Marina Rules.  These Rules govern the business relationships between the City and the users of the Marina.  The user groups include the permanant moorage tenants and people on the waiting list for permanent moorage, the guest moorage, fuel dock customers and vendors who have business in the Marina.  The third chapter contains the regulations pertaining to the safe and secure operation of the Marina.

Chapter Four contains the Best Management Practices for Compliance with state and federal environmental laws.  The Best Management Practices, referred to throughout this manual as the “BMP’s”, are a combination of rule, policy and procedure that serve as both rules and resources in how to comply with environmental laws.

Chapter Five contains the current rates and fees charged by the Marina for moorage and other services.  These rates are usually updated in January and February of each year.  People who have older editions of the manual may obtain copies of the current rates and fees at the Marina office.

Occasionally, usually in response to a unique or changing condition, the City Adminsitration, acting through the Harbormaster or City Attorney, will issue a clarification of a particular Rule or Policy.  These clarifications are intended to let the users of the Marina know how the City will apply the Rules to a specific situation.  Clarifications will be included in the manual as they are issued and can be found in Appendix I of this manual. 

The Marina staff welcomes any comments or questions about this manual.  See our website www.desmoineswa.gov.  The Marina can be contacted by telephone at 206-824-5700, fax 206-878-5940, or by writing to:
