BOARD MEETINGS
ARE HELD IN THE MARINA
CLUBHOUSE EACH MONTH
NEXT MEETING:
April 13, 2017
7PM Marina Clubhouse
Start of the Season
After a teasingly mild winter, the start of the 2017
Boating Season has finally arrived. With the
completion of the waler project in the fall, some
minor updates/repairs throughout the off-season, and
an impressive influx of new renters/owners, the
Caswell Cove Marina Board is pleased to announce the
start of the season as Saturday, April 15th.
If you have not yet done so, all insurance and
registration forms are due to Patrick or Dave
([email protected]) by the time you plan
on being in the cove. Also, for all renters, rental
agreements and balances are due by that time as
well.
Additionally, if you have not yet contacted the
marina office regarding a slip rental, we would
suggest doing so soon as the marina is currently at
94% capacity, which is exactly where we ended the
season last year. Typically, we see a surge for
smaller slips around Memorial Day so time is running
out.
The board would also like to remind all boaters that
no one is permitted to affix anything to the docks;
contact Patrick and he will take care of it. Also,
as most of you are aware, parking continues to be an
issue so if you could make an effort to carpool and
not have multiple cars visiting one boat, everyone’s
season will be that much better.
As always, we anticipate this to be a great season
for all and the association will do its best in
providing the same level of experience that has
become the norm along with an exciting social
calendar (details found on the last page of this
newsletter)

Slips for Sale
As many of you are aware, availability of 40-
foot slips is becoming difficult, and 30-foot
slips have been on a steady rise.
This season especially, rentals will be
limited across all slip sizes. If you have
any plans to upgrade or do not want to deal
with the question as to whether or not you
will have a slip year to year, this may be a
good opportunity to buy and lock yourself
into your own slip.
Currently, we have a number of 30-foot slips
(A-, B-, and C-Dock slips available in the
$6,000.00 range). If you have interest in any
of these slip locations, do not hesitate to
contact the office so we can get you in touch
with the current slip owners.
Commissioning Party
We have narrowed down a date for the
2017 Commissioning Party. The Board has
tentatively settled on Saturday, June 10.
We will be sending out additional details as
we approach the date of the party!
We are trying to set up United States Coast
Guard Auxiliary Safety Inspections for the
day of the party as well, so let us know if
you would be interested in a safety
inspection as soon as possible.
As always, the board would appreciate
any volunteered help in planning and
coordinating this event. If you would like to
assist, please contact the office and we will
put you in touch with everyone else
interested.
2017 Caswell Cove Marina Rendezvous
After our successful Rendezvous this past August, we have started to plan one for this summer as well. After reviewing many possible locations, it has been agreed that we will entrust Brewer’s Essex Island Marina with hosting us Friday,
August 11th to Sunday, August 13th.
We have secured slips in one specific area at Essex Island Marina in order to ensure we are all grouped together. In addition, due to our party size we have obtained a discounted rate. Please note that reservations must be made before
March 1st for guaranteed dockage with the group. Anyone registering after March 1st will not get the discount and could be placed anywhere in the marina.
Reservations for the Island can be made using Dockwa, either through a phone app or online at www.dockwa.com, or by calling Brewer Essex Island directly. We were able to secure an incredible group discount of $0.50/ft per night – hence the reason for the early reservation deadline – and you will see the discount applied through Dockwa before confirmation. The
standard deposit for an event such as this is one night’s stay. When you book through Dockwa, it is of the upmost importance that under Special Requests you include “Caswell Cove Marina”, this will ensure everyone gets grouped
together and has the discount applied to their reservation. Also, if you are a Brewer Preferred Member, under Promo Code enter BREWERMEMBER. This will hold payment until check in when they can verify your gold or green card status.
