Dock Lottery Entry 2026

Terms of Rental

ALD has the right to reassign boat slips to optimize use of its dock space.

Renter will back into the slip and secure their boat with the stern next to but not up against the dock.
Renter will use bumpers so that the sides of their boat do not touch the dock, and will adequately secure their boat with rope (bungee lines are not acceptable).
Renter will keep only their own boat at the dock slip and may not sub-rent the space to anyone else.
Renter’s boat will have an up-to-date ALD boat pass ramp sticker.
Renter will not leave any materials on the dock.
Renter is responsible for keeping their boat in a neat and orderly condition and must remove any accumulated water at least once every two weeks.
Renter will remove their boat and equipment from the boat slip no later than October 15.
If Renter’s boat is not removed by October 15, the ALD may remove the boat at Renter’s expense in accordance with ALD ordinances.
All ALD ordinances apply.

If Renter fails to remove their boat at the end of the rental period or termination date, whichever is earlier, Renter agrees that the ALD may remove the boat at Renter’s expense. ALD will not be responsible for any subsequent loss or damages as a result of enforcing this provision.

Renter agrees to hold ALD harmless for any damages or loss for any reason to their boat or the boat’s equipment or contents, or damages to any person or property caused by Renter’s boat. ALD will not be liable for any injury or damage to persons or property caused by existing or future dock defects or the conduct of other persons on the boat dock. ALD will not be liable for any hidden defect in the dock, nor will ALD be liable for any injury or damage to owners or their property caused by, but not limited to, vandalism, water, rain, wind, or acts of nature.
