We are also dedicated stewards of this beautiful location. The following rules are addended to all slip, storage, and service contracts. They are designed to ensure that everyone at Kennebunkport Marina has a safe, fun, and sustainable boating experience:

Owner work: Kennebunkport Marina is a private full-service marina with an off-site facility. While in storage or at a slip or mooring, vessel Owners or their agents, guests, and families planning to perform any level of maintenance or repair work to his or her vessel, must obtain consent from the office before commencing such work and agree to review and adhere to the yard’s environmental management policies.
Ladders and Staging: Owners who wish to board their boats in storage regularly must provide their own ladders. Personal ladders must be removed from the property when the boat is launched. Ladders remaining in the yard are subject to disposal. The yard is not responsible for lost or stolen ladders. Please tie off your ladder when boarding your vessel. Owner’s use of large power equipment (power washers, steam cleaners, table saws, miter saws, etc.) is strictly prohibited.
Bottom Washing: In water and out of water bottom cleaning by non-Kennebunkport Marina personnel at the Kennebunkport Marina facilities is strictly prohibited by both Kennebunkport Marina policy as well as State and Federal Law. Federal bottom washing regulations require EPA approved recapture systems and can only be performed by Kennebunkport Marina personnel in accordance with MDEP requirements.
Environmental: Kennebunkport Marina is a designated “Clean Marina”. We take our stewardship of the environment very seriously. Discharge overboard of any fuel, contaminated bilge water, or from any head, holding tanks or grey water tanks is strictly prohibited while on the dock. Owner and guests shall not create any hazard, annoyance, or nuisance to the yard or to other Owners or guests of the yard. All waste must be properly disposed of. All hazardous or special waste disposals must be performed by yard personnel only or taken off premises by the owner. Please see the office if you have special waste needs or need clarification on what is “special” or “hazardous” waste.
Subcontractors: While hauled out or at a slip, no outside contractors or hired help may be employed without prior consent of Kennebunkport Marina management. Subcontractors are not permitted at any Kennebunkport Marina facility without Kennebunkport Marina Management’s knowledge and consent.

Do not leave cars in travel lanes, on the side of the road, near a hydrant or anywhere near the boat yard’s travel lift. Improperly parked cars will be towed. Marina parking areas are maintained for the gratuitous use of boat owners and their guests at their own risk only while they are on their boat.

Owners should immediately report concerns about issues with marina equipment including cleats, electrical terminals, and freshwater spigots.
