Annual Dock Party - August 7, 2010- 4:30p

The party will take place in the east pavilion in the picnic grounds on the south side of the road before you enter the marina.  Please RSVP in person at the marina with the number in your party and sign up to bring a salad, side dish or a dessert to the Potluck.  Proceeds from the aluminum can recycling project will be used to purchase the hamburgers and hot dogs and supplies and also for raffle prizes.  Included will be a drawing for a discount on your dock rental for next year and a full year's membership in Marine Assist.  Please register for your immediate family only as there is limited seating.  Also, in order to have a safe party, please leave all animals at home.

Dock Rentals

Docks are rented on a first come, first served basis with current dock holders having first option on the dock they currently occupy for the next season. There is no limit on the number of seasons a dock holder is able to rent a dock at Geneva Marina. You can be put on our waiting list at any time. You will be contacted at the beginning of the season if a dock is available.

To secure a dock during the season, full payment is due before docking your boat. To secure a dock after the season (once you have received notification a dock is available), a small non-refundable deposit invoice will be sent to you along with further instructions. The remaining balance will be due March 31 of each year.

For more information, contact Geneva Marina at 440.466.7565.

Ohio Clean Marina

Geneva Marina received  the “Clean Marina” Certification from Ohio Sea Grant College in partnership with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Soil and Water Conservation (Ohio Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control Program), Office of Coastal Management (Ohio Coastal Management Program), and Division of Watercraft; Ohio Department of Health; Ohio Environmental Protection Agency; Ohio Department of Commerce, State Fire Marshall Division; U.S. Coast Guard; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; Lake Erie Marine Trades Association, Greater Cleveland Boating Association, local health departments, local fire marshals, and marina and yacht club owners and managers.

The Clean Marina program was developed to help educate marina, boatyard, and boat operators on the importance of protecting waterways and the environment. Participation in the program is voluntary and participants must meet stringent requirements in boat fueling, cleaning, maintenance, waste management, sensitive species management, and emergency response measures.

Keep Your Bilge Area Clean

We will continue to carry a product at the marina called Biosok for those who would like their bilge area to remain clean. The sock is tied in place by the engine and releases good microorganisms that attract oil and other pollutants which then return to the sock. The "sock" can be safely disposed of. Within just a few days of testing in the marina, the area around the sock appeared clean. Please stop by to watch a video of this amazing product.

Marina Improvements Continue

All the work on the bike trail is complete.  All work on the AT & T cell tower is complete. New tower lights were place on the cell tower and the old cell tower will be removed. The marina will continue replacing dock boards each year. Please exercise caution by wearing shoes on the dock instead of going barefoot and exercise caution when wearing flip flops.

Our Wi-Fi is up and running.  This is free to you.  All of the bugs have been worked out of the system and is running very well. Saybrook boat club recently installed a new web cam closer to the marina approximately 4-5 miles east of Geneva Marina near Redbrook boat club.  To access this site, go to www.lakevision.com and look for the camera map.  Run the cursor over any dot to get the location.  The Ashtabula dot shows the view from this new location.

Channel News

The Channel dredging is complete.  Huffman Contracting is the same company that dredged two years ago.  They were in and out of the marina in a record breaking three weeks.  They had great weather and definitely took advantage of it.  There are continued talks by ODNR to repair the west wall and a sand by-pass system.

Spring Line Your Boats For Safety

There have been some challenges keeping bow pulpits from hanging over the docks.  For those who have bow pulpits, please spring line your boats so that they do not hang over the docks.  It is a safety hazard.  Please look at the front of your boat and make sure (by pulling your boat forward after it is tied) that it does not hit the dock and/or the dock box.  Hitting the dock box will not only damage the box, but will strip the holes that keep the dock box in place.  We suggest using a spring line to keep your boat from hitting the dock or box.  If you need assistance, please let us know here in the marina shop.

Dock Carts

Dock carts are available for all dock holders.  In an ongoing effort to keep them available, please return the carts as soon as you are finished so they are available to your follow dockers and so the dock areas are unobstructed.

Dock Box Rentals & Installation

Corner dock boxes are available for rent.  We have a limited number, so please reserve them early.  For those who own dock boxes and need to re-install them, please remember to leave the bolt up one inch. If you cinch them down your dock box will break. The dock box needs to move a little with the dock finger as swells occur in the marina. Please look for the holes already created for the box. Please do not drill new holes. If there is a problem please contact us for assistance.

We also sell dock boxes. Docks measuring 20', 24' and 26' can only use small boxes. Larger boxes are also available for 30’, 32’ and 40’ docks.

We ask that you take the box off at the end of the season. If you move from one dock to another and the holes are not in place, we will re-install your dock box for you.

Mylar Stickers

Mylar stickers need to be on your dock and your boat when you put your boat in the water.

If you are interested in putting your trailer in storage, please bring us your trailer license number. You will be given a tag to put on the tongue of your trailer.

It is strongly recommended that you shrink wrap your boat for outside storage. We also strongly suggest out-drive locks. When signing up for winter boat storage, full payment must be made to reserve your spot.
