Member Rules & Regulations

As a member of the Mastic Beach Property Owners Association (MBPOA), I agree to the following terms and conditions for use of MBPOA facilities.

  1. Any and all MBPOA facilities are for use at member’s or guest’s own risk.
  2. Car, boat, and trailer stickers MUST be permanently attached to, and clearly visible on, each car, boat (Boat sticker must be visible from the dock-NOT UNDER CANVAS), jet-ski, or trailer.  Stickers are not transferable.  Failure to comply will void your annual contract, and use of MBPOA facilities will be terminated. Replacement stickers can be purchased for a fee of $25.00 each. 
  3. Bulkhead slips and private docks are not transferable.  You can not let anyone use your boat slip, private dock, or boat sticker.  If the size of your boat changes, or if you change boats, you must notify the MBPOA immediately.  The MBPOA reserves the right to reassign your boat to a slip of matching proportions.  Every application must include a copy of a current NY State boat registration, and Mastic Beach property owners must supply a copy of their tax bill as proof of property ownership.  Boats occupying bulkhead slips or private docks, or using MBPOA ramp stickers, must be registered in the same name as the person renting the slip or dock, or to whom the ramp sticker has been issued. 
  4. All slips held without a boat may be used by the MBPOA for transient dockage.  All fees collected as compensation for this transient dockage will go to the MBPOA. 
  5. Boats shall be launched at Marina #1 provided by the MBPOA only.  Marina slip and private dock renters are permitted 1 launch and 1 haul, per season, at no charge.  Ramp sticker users have unlimited use for the season.  All others will be charged the daily rate, (see "boating" on home page).  If you are paying for each launch, please display your trailer fee receipt on you car dashboard after launching your watercraft.  These are checked by security guards.  Always insist on getting a receipt for each paid launch from a security guard.
  6. Summer berthing begins on or about May15th and ends on October 15th.  Water and security services end on October 15th.  Lights will stay on until November 15th for security purposes.  All hardware, ladders, pulleys, padding, etc. must be removed from bulkheads and poles by the slip renter by November 15th or the renter will be charged $25 the next season.  Any boat left in the water after November 15th will result in the forfeit of slip or private dock privileges the following year.  Boats docked at any MBPOA facility shall not be used as living quarters.  Electrical services are for courtesy use only.  Personal extension cords & hoses must not be plugged in and left unattended.
  7. The MBPOA shall not be liable for the safe keeping of any boat, motor, equipment, or property.  The MBPOA shall also not be held liable for any damage resulting from fire, theft, vandalism, collision, or the elements.  Any damage of dock facilities will be charged to the responsible parties. Private boat insurance is strongly suggested for all slip renters.
  8. Boat owners are responsible for their wake while underway on all waters controlled by the MBPOA. The speed limit is 5 mph.
  9. If there is any disorder, nuisance, or non-compliance with these regulations, or if a member aids in a non-compliance of these regulations, then the MBPOA, by a vote of the Board of Directors, may direct the offending member to vacate the facility.   Such member shall lose their dock rights for a period to be determined by the Board of Directors.
  10. All applications must be submitted with copies of a NY State boat registration and a Mastic Beach property tax bill (for owners of property in Mastic Beach).  
  11. Mastic Beach property owners will receive the first available slips or private docks.  All who do not own property in Mastic Beach will be required to pay an additional surcharge of $100 to rent a slip or private dock.
  12. Wooden ladders are no longer permitted on bulkheads.  Aluminum ladders may be purchased at a marine products store.
  13. No electrical cords or water hoses are to be left attached when the boat owner is not present.
  14. All ladders, lines, rugs, etc. must be removed from the poles and bulkhead at the end of the season or a     $25 surcharge will be added.
  15. Boat trailer parking for Marina 1 is on the north side of the ramp on the paved area only.
  16. Cleaning of fish anywhere in the Marinas is not allowed.
  17. Fishing and crabbing are not allowed in the Marinas.
  18. Please Note that all of our property is ‘Carry in-Carry out’. Please take your trash home.
  19. Dock masters and Security Guards have the authority to enforce the rules of the MBPOA.

YOU WILL BE ASSIGNED A SLIP THAT WILL ACCOMMODATE, AND IS PROPORTIONAL TO THE SIZE OF YOUR BOAT.

NO RENEWAL REMINDER PHONE CALLS WILL BE MADE.

​IF PAYMENT IS NOT RECEIVED BY FEBRUARY 15, YOU may LOSE YOUR SLIP.

NOTICE:
Please be considerate.  As we must winterize in November, you must have your boat out of the marina by November 15. If your boat is left in after that date, the MBPOA reserves the right to have your boat removed at your expense.

NOTICE:
Due to special fundraising events, parking on the east side of the marina will not be available.
