A Marina is a port within a sheltered harbour
where boats and yachts are kept in the water and where services geared to the
needs of recreational boating are found. 
The marina may have re-fueling, washing and repair facilities, small stores and
restaurants catering to the needs of the boaters, and Ship chandlers. Slipways
are used to get a trailered boat into the water. Many marinas offer a boat hoist
well, a type of traveling crane, instead of a more space-wasteful slipway,
operated by service center personnel. Many marinas offer some out of water
storage, which is useful out of season and important in latitudes susceptible to
freezing waters. | |

Marinas may include ground facilities such as parking lots for vehicles and
boat trailers. Boats are moored either or on buoys or on fixed or floating
walkways that are securely tied to an anchoring piling by a roller or ring
mechanism (floating docks or pontoons). Buoys are cheaper to rent but less
convenient than being able to walk from land to boat. Harbor shuttles, also
known as "water taxis", may be available to transfer people between the shore
and boats moored on buoys. The alternative is a tender such as an inflatable
boat. Facilities offering fuel, boat ramps and stores will normally have a
common-use dock set aside for such short term parking needs. | | | | | | | | Back To Top |
