Last MVYC is good, but year to year you can't be assured of the same slip. but the ammenities are solid. I have heard great things about Alton. Good Luck!!!
We have been at MVYC for 14 years and have always had the first refusal option when renting a slip through Irwins. They send out a letter around Feb 1st to see if you want to rent the same slip as last year. There is always some turnover for various reasons..... New bigger boat won't fit in old smaller slip...Kid in college this year...IRS audit and the boat had to go...Wife found out about mistress...take your pick. That being said, the staff at Irwins Carol Downing in particular, have always gone above and beyond to help us find the perfect place for The Breeze. MVYC also has the best July cookout/dance party of the summer for all owners and renters free of charge. This is a REAL "customer appreciation" party, unlike another marina where we used to be that CHARGED you (???) to attend!!! We LOVE Mountain View.
