Lake Travis slip prices??
 

I am about to move to LT and trying to size up where to get a slip and how much to pay for it. I'd like to own one (I think) and pay only maintenance, not rent.

So for a 36' boat, how much should I expect to pay to own a slip?

Historically, how cheap have they been, and how high have they gone?

What marinas sell slips, versus just renting them?

I don't think any marinas on Lake Travis will "sell" you a slip. Maybe someone else knows...

The rental rates vary greatly from marina to marina.

I believe it is all rent unless you have your own dock.

Lake Travis Marina in Hudson Bend sells slips. I believe they start at around $30,000. They are basically dockominiums and you pay monthly fees and taxes just like real property. Welcome to Austin. Let me know if you need help finding a place on or near the lake.

Rental - $750 per month at Hurst Harbor (Johnny Finns) for a 38 Fountain.

The rates vary from $500-$750 per month, but the BIG problem is getting one! There is a waiting list at most Marinas. And they want you to pay a year in advance!
Check with: Hurst Harbor, Lakeway Marina, Lake Travis Marina, or the marina at Carlos & Charlies. There is a new Marina being built near Lakeway that will be open next summer with all larger slips (35 and up). Good Luck!

Looking for a slip on Lake travis.

Thanks.

Good luck. We were number 47 on the list last year at North Shore. Not expecting a phone call for at least another year. Another marina in the Sandy Creek arm has 73 folks on the waiting list as of a month ago. Be careful abt boat sellers saying the the slip goes with the boat. The marina managers I spoke to do not see it that way. You can buy the boat, but you go to the bottom of the list for the slip.

I did see some slips on Craigslist for Lake Austin (a river) but they are for small boats.

Update: Just looked at the Lake Travis Marina site. They have 9'X20' covered slips with or w/o lift. Assuming that's too small for ya.
At one time they were selling slips, but don't think they are anymore.

We are on Canyon Lake bout an hour-1.5 South, smaller lake, "Suntex" owns our marina and a few on Travis also. We pay just over a grand a month, 50' slip, 3 year wait for a slip so you pay it or someone else will.
