Mooring of Vessels

The length of any vessel including any and all appurtenances thereon shall not exceed the length of its berth.

Vessels shall be moored in such a manner that no part extends beyond the limit of the berth.

Addition of equipment to a vessel causing it to exceed the length of its berth will require moving to a larger berth, or, if necessary, vacating the harbor.

Mooring lines shall be of sufficient number and strength to ensure that the vessel shall be secure in the highest winds that can reasonably be expected.

Movement of Vessels within the Marina

Movement of vessels within the Marina shall be for the purpose of entering or leaving a berth. Cruising within the Marina, in any size vessel, is prohibited.

Moving of Vessel by City

The mooring of a boat within the San Leandro Marina does not include exclusive right to any particular berth. Boats may be relocated within the Marina when such relocation is required to ensure public safety or is in the best interest of marina operation as determined by the City Manager or his/her authorized representative.

Use of Vessel as a Residence

No vessel moored within the Marina shall be used as a place of residence unless liveaboard status is granted by the City. For the purpose of this regulation, any vessel used as an overnight accommodation in excess of two nights in any seven-day period shall be considered a residence.

Sanitary Facilities

All vessels moored within this marina having sanitary facilities (toilet, sink, etc.) aboard shall have such facilities maintained so as to be in full compliance with all current "Marina Sanitation Device" regulations.

Berth renters performing routine maintenance shall not obstruct piers and access to fingers with tools and equipment.

Painting

Spray painting within the Marina is strictly prohibited. Other painting/varnishing may be done only in a manner which precludes spillage upon marina waters or any and all public areas.

Welding and Burning

Whenever it is necessary to perform work onboard a vessel involving the use of welding or burning equipment, the Harbor Master shall be advised of the nature and extent of the work, the workers or company doing the job, and the date and time the work will be done. This notification shall be given prior to starting the work and whenever practicable at least one day before the work is to be performed.

Waste Disposal

Disposal of expended lubrication oils and bilge contaminants is to be confined to the waste oil tank provided near the fuel dock. There is no charge for this service. Waste of this type is not to be discharged overboard or placed in trash containers.
