The rental fee for transient moorings is per boat per day. World's End moorings are $50/boat/day, Inner and Outer Harbor moorings are $35/boat/day.

World's End moorings can have up to three boats rafted to each mooring. The Harbormaster reserves the right to raft groups together on each mooring based on availability.

The rental period is from 11am the day of arrival through 10am the following day. The moorings fill quickly especially on holidays and weekends in July and August.
