Marina

  1. Lummi Island Scenic Estates Community Club (LISECC) assumes no responsibility for boats or other vehicles moored or parked on club property.

  2. All boats must be identified with a LISECC marina decal which may be purchased from the LISECC office for $5.00 per boat. Skiffs, dinghies, canoes, kayaks, and other non-powered vessels must have a LISECC identification decal as well, provided free of charge at the Office. Temporary permits (also available from the Office) are required for members’ boating guests.

  3. Moored vessels without a LISECC registration of some type are subject to immediate towing.

  4. Boat owners are responsible for their skiffs, rowboats, etc. and should remove them when they are not being used during the off season.

  5. The “RED ZONE” on the dock facilities is moorage area for loading and unloading with a 30-minute time limit or while in the active process of loading or unloading. All vessels are allowed access to the RED ZONE for loading or unloading.

  6. No overnight moorage is permitted in the 30-minute “RED ZONE”.

  8. Dinghies: LISECC-registered dinghies used as tenders may tie up in the BLUE ZONE located directly across from the RED ZONE. These vessels must be secured by a bowline (painter) with sufficient slack as to allow maximum use of this area. Engines should be left down to minimize potential damage to other craft. Under no circumstance is this area to be used as storage.
