Bellport Dockage and Boat Launching
 
  Bellport Dockage and Boat Launching

In addition to affording a spectacular view of the Great South Bay, the Village Marina boasts over 150 berths, including the specially designated one for our Village-owned ferry, the Whalehouse Point.

At the present time, no "in-season" berths are available. However, a waiting list has been established. If you'd like to place your name on the boat-slip waiting list, please stop by the Village Hall for more information. Please note that residents are given priority. There is a one-time, non-refundable fee of $100 to reserve your spot on the list.

Personal Watercraft (PWC)

Personal Watercraft (PWC) is defined as any motorized watercraft that is 14 feet or less in hull length as manufactured, has as its primary source of propulsion an inboard motor powering a jet pump and is capable of carrying one or more persons in a sitting, standing or kneeling position. "Personal watercraft" includes, but is not limited to, a jet ski, wet bike, surf jet and miniature speedboat. "Personal watercraft" also includes motorized watercraft whose operation is controlled by a water skier. A Jet Ski is an inboard/outboard gas vehicle with an engine exhaust above the waterline.

Jet Ski/Personal Watercraft (PWC) launching, pick-up and discharge of passengers from the Village Marina will be allowed provided the following conditions are met:

1. PWC must be registered and must comply with all current Federal, NY State and U.S. Coast Guard requirements.

2. Launching is permitted only at the launching ramp on the main dock.

3. Operation of the PWC must be at least 500 feet perpendicular to any shoreline, or structure within Village waters. The exception to this rule is that the operator may depart or approach at a speed no greater than 5 MPH, and the departure or approach must be for the sole purpose of picking up or discharging passengers, or for the removal of a PWC.

4. A limited number of launch permits will be issued to village residents only at a fee ($125.00), which was established by the Board of Trustees.

5. PWC trailers must park in the area provided for trailers at the Village Marina.

6. The Board reserves the right to revoke any permit at their discretion, based upon operator performance which is not in the best interests of the Village of Bellport, as determined by the Board of Trustees.

7. Permits are valid only from May 1st through October 31st of each year.

8. Launch decals must be clearly visible on PWC and trailer.

9. Launching jet skis as defined in the definitions code will not be allowed under any conditions at Bellport Village Facilities.
