Dock Inspections

Dock inspections are currently underway, so if you have any maintenance issues, requests, or reports about the dock area around your slip, please contact your dock captain or the marina office.

Knock Down

In the first sixty days after the dredging was completed, a two and a half foot sandbar was formed at the entrance of the marina. By removing this sandbar, it will allow the mid that enters the marina at high tide to leave at low tide. With the sandbar in place, it is trapping the mud coming into the marina, so its removal will hopefully help out when it comes to next year's dredging operation. Plans are underway for a barge to begin the removal of the sandbar near the front entrance.

Live-Aboards

For all persons living aboard your vessel three nights a week or more, if you are not paying your monthly live-aboard fee, expect to receive a 30-day notice regarding this. Please review #11 under the Benicia Marina Rules and Regulations in your Benicia Marina rental agreements. Any person(s) spending three or more nights a week constitutes Live-Aboard status. If you are not sure if you are being charged for your live-aboard status or not, please refer to your monthly statement, or contact the marina office.

Fuel Pumps

The entire fuel system is back online and operational. An entire new fuel system has been installed. Thank your for your patience through that construction period.

If you have any further questions about any of these updates or anything else in the marina for that matter, please feel free to contact the Harbormaster's office at (707)745-2628. You can also reach me direct at (707)745-2550. Please leave a message for me, and I will make it my priority to get back to you in a short time.

Smooth Sailing,

Peter Knowles, Assistant Harbormaster
