• Minimum Vessel Size and Operational Requirements: 

  “… All liveaboard vessels must demonstrate seaworthiness and operational ability by cruising out under power, to red channel marker R-2 and back in March and August of each year.  The seaworthiness / operational demonstration must occur during times when the marina is open and staffed.  The liveaboard must notify the Harbormaster 2 hours prior to departure for the seaworthy / operational demonstration and when the vessel returns to the slip.  If a vessel breaks down during the seaworthiness / operational demonstration it will be the owner’s responsibility to remedy the situation and/or have it towed back into the marina.  The owner will then have 21 days to repair the vessel and complete the seaworthiness / operational demonstration.  If a vessel breaks down for a 2^nd time the liveaboard status may be terminated. “Failure to conduct and/or complete the seaworthiness / operational demonstration will result in the termination of liveaboard status.”

Vessel Seaworthy/Operational demonstration can be required for any vessels in the Oak Harbor Marina.
