Valet boat service

Ken · 12-07-2016, 11:07 AM

Just wondering what people are paying for in/our boat service around the lake.

I don't use valet however Fay's 2016 rates are published here:

Mine was roughly $75/foot in 2015 for unlimited launches. I bought a bought slip in 2016 and put it up in the racks (at a reduced rate) when I am not going to be there for extended periods of time. I also store/winterize the boat there.

~$2000 fora 24' boat in Gilford. As is always my point, it doesn't matter what the price is in Paugus Bay if you do your boating in Moultonborough.

Got my bill for valet service from Mountain View Yacht Club in Gilford for the 2017 season. $2,050 for my 24" boat (an increase of $100 from last year). I love the place, great location on the lake and nice facilities, friendly helpful staff (Just wish they would pave the whole parking lot! They do oil the unpaved section to keep the dust down).

Last year it was a bit under $2500 for 25' for valet service at Goodhue & Hawkins in Wolfeboro with unlimited in and out for the season. Sounds like there may be some minor difference in pricing across the providers, but I would agree with Descant on this one; location rules.

I was at Meredith Marine Last year and their rates went from $1995 to $2395. This year i moved to Channel Marine and at the time I signed up it was $1995 for unlimited in and outs.

oiling a parking lot next to the lake? doesn't sound like such a good idea to me.

A few years ago, the MVYC field was muddy in the spring delaying spring launches. Since then all new gravel ad better drainage, but I'm unaware of any sort of chemical treatment. Illegal,I would think, and MVYC management (Irwin Corp) is very much a protector of the lake.

The parking lot adjacent to the Valet docks is used by people to get their boats ready and conduct maintenance in the spring. 2016 was my first year there and I noticed it was very dusty when it finally cleared out. Shortly thereafter I noticed that the ground had been sprayed with something to keep the dust down, I don't know if it was actually oil or if something else was used but it was definitely noticeable and it seemed to do the trick. I agree with Descant about Irwin protecting the lake so maybe something more inert was used?
