North Point Marina's slip rates for the 2012 are holding steady for all slip sizes. That means you'll pay the same price for your slip in 2012 as you did in 2011... and we've added another new discount! North Point responded to you, the slipholders, and held our rates steady for 2012. We know that times are tough, and we wanted to thank and reward our valued and important customers with even more ways to save.

Please reference the "Rates and Discounts" tab for the schedule of slip fees. Our goal every year is to be a positive contributor to your boating experience through the services we provide. Increasing slip fees provides us the means necessary to continue providing the level of service you are accustomed to. Our fees remain all-inclusive, tax-free, and more than competitive with the neighboring marinas. In all instances, we are below the average rate in the surrounding area and significantly lower if we include the Chicago marinas.

NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN OUR 2012 DISCOUNT PROGRAM:

• 8% PREPAYMENT DISCOUNT IF PREPAID IN FULL (POSTMARKED) BY SEPTEMBER 30, 2011.
• 5% PREPAYMENT DISCOUNT IF PREPAID IN FULL (POSTMARKED) BY OCTOBER 31, 2011.
• 3% PREPAYMENT DISCOUNT IF PREPAID IN FULL (POSTMARKED) BY JANUARY 2, 2012.
• MULTIPLE SLIP DISCOUNT - 40% DISCOUNT ON SECOND, THIRD OR MULTIPLE SLIPS.

The 2012 boating season contract package includes a Harbor Occupancy Agreement, slip fee and discount information, a slip fee worksheet with a release authorization, a copy of the North Point Administrative Rules and a map of the facility. To obtain the Early Payment Discount you must return your completed Harbor Occupancy Agreement and 100% payment of your slip fees postmarked by September 30 or October 31, 2011, or January 2, 2012 depending on the discount you are taking; eight, five, or three percent. Otherwise, to guarantee your slip renewal you must return your completed Harbor Occupancy Agreement and 25% of your slip fee postmarked by January 2, 2012.

Please remember if you are on the wait list for a slip transfer, you will automatically be transferred to that slip if it becomes available.

Please take advantage of one of our discounts. Even if you do not qualify for the Longevity discount, you can still take advantage of our Early Payment discount. Remember, the multiple slip and old salt discounts are based on slip availability. Please review the Administrative Rules regarding refunds for paid slip fees.

Proof of ownership and current proof of insurance are required for all vessels moored in the marina. A copy of your current registration, title, or sales agreement along with a copy of the declaration page of your current insurance policy will fulfill this requirement. After all information is processed, we will send you an executed copy of your contract confirming your slip assignment early in February.

You will be given access materials and other important marina information when you check-in on or after April 1, 2012. For your convenience, dock boxes are provided at each slip and must be left empty and unlocked at the end of the season or when you vacate the slip.

For your privacy, our office staff will not give out information concerning your slip location or vessel with out specific written direction from you. If you would like us to give out your slip location to those who request it, please sign and return the release authorization included in the contract package. It is located on the back of your slip fee worksheet

Remember, our office staff is available to answer any questions you may have, so please call, E-mail or fax us. Better yet, drop in and see us, we'll have the coffee on! Thanks again for making North Point Marina your marina home for summer boating pleasure. We look forward to having you as a slipholder in 2012!
