2025 SPRING COMMISSIONING
On this page you’ll find links to our Spring Commissioning Packet, which includes the paperwork you need to requests services like a Launch Request and a Commissioning Request. Just like in the fall, please send all your paperwork to the Service Coordinator. All paperwork, including an updated Certificate of Insurance, needs to be queued for your preferred launch date. We encourage you to reach our Service Coordinator, with any questions. She is ready and eager to facilitate all your engine servicing needs as well as hauling/launching, transport, bottom painting, detailing, and more. Contact Service via email or via phone at 978-283-0806 EXT 481. Please keep in mind all service and yard requests must be submitted in writing with the forms provided, and all requests are scheduled on a first come-first serve basis. Any outstanding balances must be paid in full prior to new work requests. Payments can be made online. Credit Card and ACH are accepted. Make a secure payment here.
Any requests beyond the standard commissioning service must be scheduled separately as summer work. You are required to return all service requests 30 days prior to your preferred launch date. Launch dates are not guaranteed – if you find that you are not able to meet your preferred launch date, please notify us at least one week in advance. Confirmation of your request will be finalized and scheduled through our Service Department.
If you are transporting your vessel to or from the Marina via land you must call and make a reservation with the Service Coordinator. If you are transporting your vessel via water, you need to contact the Service Coordinator AND the Dockmaster for arrival times and instructions. This is critical – any vessels without reservations could be turned away. Plan ahead.

Renewals are handled starting in October and storage is paid in full or on a payment plan, prior to the upcoming season. Contact our Marine Service Center to assist you.
Important Boater Information/Dates

Full remittance of all balances must be paid prior to taking boat from marina lot or docks. Secure payments can be made anytime using our online payment portal.
- A completed, signed work order or seasonal commissioning or de-commissioning request with customer and boat information along with a detailed description of work requested, provision of keys/combo and Certificate of Insurance on file is required prior to job scheduling or commencement. Service requests will not be entered into the schedule if any of this information is missing.

Boats without wet or dry storage agreements must be removed from the premises no later than 5 business days following notification of job completion, or daily storage rates apply. All trailers brought to the yard must be labeled with customer name, vessel name and current date of drop off on tongue. Failure to do so will result in a delay in service.
