Houseboat Dock Slip Fees - What Prices or Rates, do Marinas Cost or Charge?

by Mike Derrico

When it comes to houseboat dock slip fees, what rates or prices, will marinas charge or cost for house boats? Just a quick question, what is an average dock fee for a houseboat?

I mean I'm sure it depends on where you are at and all that great stuff, but let's say for 36 foot River Queen, what's the most you would expect to pay?

Thanks for helping me, Mike.

Well Mike, that is a good question, and I wish I could give you a definitive answer, yet I presume you may have forgotten to add your location or area of interest.

So with this in mind, I will venture out on a limb and try to give you a low and high ballpark figure in North America or USA.

You would be looking at an average of @ $2000-4000 dollars a year, all of this depending on location, proximity, area, services, security, facilities and whether you wanted a covered or uncovered slip.

Now one of the best ways to get a more precise idea as to cost
would be to use the houseboat marina directory to call marinas in the areas that interest you, this way you would get an exact price.

As time goes on, I am sure that houseboaters from all around the world will provide some details, this way we can all do a simple comparison of the prices or rates that we are being charged for small, medium, or large houseboats.
