Funny, I was just talking to somone about the slip situation, and mentioned that my friends are saying I was a dumbarse for not buying that slip I was looking at in Cocoplum Yacht Club a few years ago for 40k..

Here's todays prices :eek: :eek:

If you own a small motor yacht and cruise to other locations. Slip ownership along with yacht club type membership. Is a pretty good deal. My parents club: "list of reciprocal clubs give access to private facilities throughout Canada and around the world. Accommodations at competitive rates are available in some reciprocal Clubs, including New York, Chicago, Boston, Washington, San Francisco, London (England)."

Parents don't have a slip, just the membership. Most of these slips come with onshore club type facilities. Your 80 or so MY becomes a moving condo. The real advantage just like my parents yacht club membership, you can use other places facilities. Can also see how a sport boater does not have the same appeal.

The link above gave some good info for sure. Are the property taxes on these as high as they are on all forms of real estate in FL?

The monthly maintenence fee would cover Taxes, Insurance, Maintenence, Salaries for the employees, etc. This fee normally starts out on the low side. You can expect increases every year. That being said, I know of a dockominium in south Florida that has doubled in price in 4 years!
