1. GENERAL CONDITIONS
This DOCKAGE / STORAGE LICENSE AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”) is made between Charlestown Marina (hereinafter “MARINA”), as the First Party, and, the preceding named Vessel (hereinafter “VESSEL”) and its Owner (hereinafter “OWNER”), as the Second Parties.
This is a license of dockage only. Subject to the terms and conditions herein, the OWNER shall have full care, custody and control of the BOAT and its associated property. The OWNER agrees that any license of dockage and/or storage space shall not constitute a bailment or tenancy of any kind, either expressed or implied, and the relationship of the parties is only a license granted to the OWNER by the MARINA. The Granting of this license by the MARINA does not obligate the MARINA to provide OWNER similar licenses in the future years or obligate the MARINA to provide future storage for the VESSEL. The OWNER agrees to pay all service and/or storage fees when due. The OWNER signing this agreement hereby obligates themselves, the OWNER, and the VESSEL, to pay any and all charges, services and fees when due.
The OWNER agrees that the MARINA shall have the right but not obligation to relocate the VESSEL or its associated property while it is docked or stored within the Premises for such reason and to such other location on the Premises as the MARINA shall deems appropriate, including but not limited to the right to move the VESSEL and/or removed the VESSEL from the water, should such appear to the MARINA to be necessary to protect the VESSEL or property. In such an event the OWNER further agrees to reimburse the MARINA for any charges accrued in connection with either relocating the VESSEL on land within the Marina storage areas or hauling the VESSEL from and returning the VESSEL to the water at prevailing rates.
It is understood between the parties that no refunds will be made after this license has been executed. The MARINA may cancel this license as provided in the RULES AND REGULATIONS.
Any boat or property placed in dockage and/or storage at the MARINA under this license shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth above.
This AGREEMENT is the entire AGREEMENT between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements. No changes to this AGREEMENT are valid unless in writing and signed by both parties. MARINA’s failure to require strict performance of this AGREEMENT, or MARINA’s waiver of any condition, shall not be deemed a future waiver of any condition or of any of MARINA’s rights under this AGREEMENT.
2. HOLDOVER AND RENEWAL OF AGREEMENT
The OWNER agrees that the terms and conditions of this license shall be automatically extended to cover the period from time to time the VESSEL or property is first brought onto the premises until the BOAT or property is permanently removed from the premises and the MARINA is notified of such removal or until a new dockage or storage agreement is executed.
Any period of time beyond the explicit termination date during which the VESSEL and/or its associated equipment remains on the MARINA premises and has not been made the subject of any successor licensee, it shall be subject to additional charges. The OWNER further agrees that additional charges for dockage and/or storage shall be due and payable for any extended period of said OWNER at the then established dockage and/or storage rates of the MARINA and that, if necessary, the VESSEL may be arrested and sold to satisfy such charges.
OWNER is required to give THIRTY (30) DAY NOTICE to the MARINA before the OWNER/AGREEMENT EXPIRES should the OWNER plan on removing the VESSEL from the MARINA. Should the MARINA not receive a THIRTY (30) DAY NOTICE from the OWNER, the Renewal Agreement will take effect, including any new rates and charges. NOTE: THE OWNER IS REQUIRED TO ENTER INTO A NEW CONTRACT WITH THE MARINA AT THE END OF THE DOCKAGE AGREEMENT.

S. Coast Guard, U.S.E.P.A., Massachusetts D.E.P. and the Boston Harbor Master. You will be required to promptly reimburse the Marina should it incur any cost, penalties or legal expenses because of failure to comply with such laws, ordinances or regulations.
23. HEAVY WEATHER: You are solely responsible for your boat under all weather conditions, and shall take all appropriate emergency and/or precautionary measures. In the event of the forecast or the actual onset of severe weather, the Marina will attempt, if practical and possible, to provide general preparation and damage prevention services, the costs of which may be prorated over all boats. However, the Marina does not assume any responsibility for protection, nor does it guarantee it will be able to adequately provide general services to all boats in the Marina, including but not limited to removing any vessels from their slips to dry storage areas, due to the number of boats and limitations of the Marina staff.
24. FITNESS CENTER: It is understood that the Marina will not be liable for any personal injury that may occur while using the “Fitness Center.”
25. RIGHT TO RENT: The Marina reserves the right to rent a slip or mooring to transient guests when not occupied by the licensee.
The Licensee agrees to notify the Dock Master when he expects to leave and return from a trip of a 24-hour duration or longer so that the slip or mooring can be used for this purpose and to avoid any inconvenience to the Licensee upon his return.
26. DOCK BOX POLICY: Marina customers may install a dock box adjacent to their vessel, but must have prior approval of the marina office. Marina approval will be in the form of a dock box sticker that must be affixed to the approved dock box. Each customer will be limited to one dock box that shall be no larger than 26 cubic ft. NO FLAMMABLES MAY BE STORED IN DOCK BOXES AT
ANY TIME.
27. PARKING: Please do not park in such a way as to block fire lanes, handicap areas, entrances, exits, or Marina fuel tank filling areas. The Marina reserves the right to have vehicles, violating these rules, towed at the owner's expense. The Marina will not be liable for damage incurred to a customer's vehicle while parked in non-designated parking spaces. All trailers are not prohibited unless otherwise approved by Marina management. If approved, it will be at an additional cost to other vehicle in the lot.
28. BOAT RENTAL: You may not rent your boat for any purpose. This includes recreational use and lodging. Any boat owner found to be renting their boat will be asked to vacate their slip immediately. All previously paid slip fees will be forfeited.
29. Only vessels in good condition, and under their own power, shall be admitted to the Marina areas.
30. OWNERS: Owners are reminded that they (their vessels) are bound by DOCK SPACE AND LICENSE AGREEMENTS, and among other things, their under agree to pay and be otherwise responsible for any injury or damage to persons or property, including MARINA personnel or property, arising in connection with the presence of OWNER or VESSEL in the Marina or on Marina property.
As such, Owners should study and be vigilant to at all times comply with the provisions of their DOCK SPACE LEASE AND LICENSE
AGREEMENTS.
31. VESSELs leaving for an extended absence (3 days or more) must so notify the dock master's office. MARINA reserves the right to lease any slip when vacant, and it is expected that transients will move for vessels on seasonal contracts or on advance reservations.
OWNER acknowledges dock space assignment is temporary and may be reassigned by MARINA for any reason MARINA deems valid and reasonable. Subleasing of dock spaces, transfer of VESSELs between dock spaces, or from one dock space to another, shall not be allowed, except upon prior written approval of MARINA. OWNER authorizes that in case of an emergency, or if the VESSEL is not moved in accordance with the prior notice from MARINA, MARINA may move the VESSEL from a particular dock space to any other place. Vessels may be moved to another dockspace to make room for special events at Marina, and MARINA will make reasonable efforts to provide 30 days' notice.
32. LICENSE/LEASE DAY starts at 8:00 a.m. Any VESSEL using Marina prior to 8:00 a.m. will be charged for the previous day.
Check out time shall be 11:00 a.m. Any VESSEL present in Marina after 11:00 a.m will be charged for the following day.
33. An OWNER or VESSEL checking out of Marina shall report to the dock master's office and settle accounts prior to leaving. It is suggested that all OWNERs leave a forwarding address in order to permit prompt handling in the event a telephone call or mail is received for them.
