I'm very curious...what has anyone heard regarding people renewing their yearly contracts for valet service at various marinas? And has anyone been able to make themselves a nice deal, as oppossed to the standard "here are the rates, you're lucky we happen to have an opening."
I recently renewed, after receiving the invoice, which included a price increase, and a letter stating the usual.."pay now, as we are on a wait list basis." Don't get me wrong, we are very happy with the marina and the service we receive, but I'm hearing several stories of people not renewing, and others even walking away from deposits they had previously paid.
I actually found one offering summer only service (May thru October) at $68 a foot. Pretty reasonable.
