I'm interested in a slip anytime from mid April to the end of May. In the fall I get a slip in Atlantic Highlands for November and December but they do not offer this type of slip in the spring.
I don't paint the boat so ideally the place I slip would have a boat ramp so I could clean the bottom every 2 weeks. If a ramp is not available I have a way to get around this issue.
Anywhere on the bay shore is OK. Preferable in NJ from Keyport to the Highlands.
The boat is a 23' Walkaround. Anyone know of a temporary slip avaiable for 4-6 weeks?
Scott, not exactly in Highlands but try the Quay in Sea Bright. The usually have plenty of slips early in the season; as well it is about 15 mins from the ramp at the Atlantic Highlands MM. The owners name is Victor and he is a super nice guy.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
Not a slip but my friend stores his boat in a fenced in storage lot about a mile North of Atlantic Highlands. He trailers it to the Highlands then. He found it one day by driving around, if you are interested I can call him or see him next week.
PA, I do the same as far as land storage in AH. I just know a slip is a lot easier and I get a temporary slip in AH in the fall but they do not offer it in the spring.
Scott D ,give Jean a call at pedersens marina It's in Keyport .
Good Luck, Harry
Don't bother. They never have anything open. I gave up on getting a slip at Petersons a long time ago. Keyport Marine Basin may have slip available. But if you have a hardtop on your boat you'll only be able to get out when the tide is right do to a bridge.
Thanks Harry and Mike. I will try both. I do have a hardtop. Past experience with a friends boat in Keansburg reminds me that waiting for tide is a PITA.
It does not have to be Keyport, just looking for something safe and closer to the back bay.
I dry dock at joes marina and its affordable. This is my first season there but my cousin has been there for 5 yrs.Just launch and go.Nice ramp quiet little place and cheaper than most!!
Thanks. I dry store in Atlantic Highlands spring and fall already. I thought a slip might be nice just for the month of May. Get me a little closer to the Parkway and to the back bay fishing.
I'm a little late with my input but you can give Vikings marina in Laurence Harbor a call.
ask for Larry sr. he might be able to help you.

Even a little later, but right down the creek from Viking, is Morgan Marina, call and talk to Pete, they have a load of open slips in that time frame. It may be late for this year, but you can make a note for next year.
