Greetings from Scotty Yates, Paradise Bay Dockmaster
The current dock wait lists updated 11/1/21 is available at the Office and posted at the fish station information board. If you have signed up for the Paradise Bay/Sarasota Bay dock lists and you feel your name and information is incorrect or left off the list or not in the correct order, please contact me and we will fix any errors.
Reminding all boaters if you have a dock now and purchase a new/bigger boat your dock cannot be guaranteed. The Dockmaster is required to assign docks by size. Always check before you buy a bigger boat.
The Dock billing has been printed early this year to make it more manageable to assign open docks. In order to assign new docks, we must wait until the billing comes back on shareholders that have current dock privileges to determine who will keep the dock or give up the dock privileges.
I am reminding everyone to get Paradise Bay stickers for your car, truck, boat, and trailer. We have a great team of security personnel that will enforce any and all vehicles, trailers and boats that do not have proper identification. Vehicles and trailers will be subject to ticketing and towing at owner’s expense.
The Dockmaster has been instructed by the Board of Directors to utilize all Dock slips for the upcoming calendar year 2022. ALL DOCKS MUST BE IN USE and have the shareholders boat at the dock or lose dock privileges.
Paradise Bay Boat Rules and Regulations pertaining to deteriorating boats and trailers are to be enforced, as all boats must be in seaworthy condition and trailers must be in serviceable working order.
We are all looking forward to a great season of boating & fishing in our beautiful piece of “Paradise.”
Scotty Yates
