Marina contract basics for yacht owners
Berth lease terms, winter storage clauses, and liability limits in Nordic marina agreements.
Before signing
A marina berth or winter storage contract sets price, notice period, and liability caps. Nordic clubs often use standard forms — still read appendices on subletting and works on site.
Clauses to check
| Clause | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Notice period | 3–12 months common — affects sale timing |
| Liability cap | Marina may limit damage claims — insurance gap |
| Winter rules | Mast up/down, heated hall vs outdoor |
| Guest berths | Allocation for visitors — club politics |
Owner tips
- Photograph condition on arrival for winter storage
- Confirm electricity billing — kWh vs flat fee
- Ask about waiting list transfer if you sell the boat
