Wait List
A
list compiled by the Marina Manager of approved Berth Change Request
Forms and Annual Moorage Application Forms ranked by date, and
prioritised as follows:
1. Berth change requests by existing lessees.
2. Applicants whose primary residence is within Magic Lake Estates.
3. Other approved applicants.
This list is for the sole use of the Marina Manager.
Moorage Length
A
vessel’s overall length, including any projection from the bow or
stern. Used for determining berth assignment, and for calculating
moorage fee.
Annual Moorage
Annual moorage at Thieves Bay Marina is limited to members, in good standing, of the Magic Lake Property Owners’ Society (MLPOS).
When a lessee is no longer a member in good standing of MLPOS, the annual moorage lease becomes null and void.
Lessees must own a residence in Magic Lake, which they occupy on a permanent or part time basis. The residence must be connected to the Magic Lake water system with a septic/sewer connection.
Due to high demand and limited availability, only one annual moorage lease per membership in MLPOS is allowed.
Moorage rates are set, and are subject to change each year, at the MLPOS annual general meeting.
An Initial berth fee, equal to the annual moorage fee, is payable with the first years moorage fee.
Annual moorage fees are payable in advance (not refundable).
All vessels moored at Thieves Bay Marina must be clearly marked with a name or identification number.
Annual moorage can be obtained, for a specific vessel only, by the use of a MLPOS Annual Moorage Application Form. The applicant will state the name and/or identification number of the vessel, width, draft and overall length, including any projection from the bow or stern. (Maximum allowable mooring length is 36ft., beam 12ft.).
All vessels will be measured by the Marina Manager. Errors or omissions on the Annual Moorage Application Form may result in berth reassignment, adjustment to annual moorage fee, or cancellation of moorage contract.
Applicants must provide proof of insurance for their vessel (minimum $1.000.000 liability) at the time of application.
When the Marina Manager has approved the application it will be dated and, if available, a berth assigned and a contract drawn up. If a suitable berth is not available the application will be placed on the Wait List.
When a berth becomes available, the first applicant on the Wait List with a vessel that suits the size of the berth will be offered that berth.
If the applicant declines the berth for any reason, the applicant will maintain position on the Wait List, and the next applicant with a suitable sized vessel will be offered the berth.
Annual Moorage Contract
The annual moorage contract herein shall for all purposes be construed to be a storage contract and the provisions of the “Warehouse Lien Act, RSBC 1996, Chapter 480” shall apply in total.
The berth allocated under the moorage contract is for the vessel named in the contract only. Under no circumstances may the berth be sublet by the lessee.
MLPOS reserves the right to use unoccupied berths for casual moorage. The rentals from which, are for the sole benefit of MLPOS.
Lessees must notify the Marina Manager if the berth is to be vacant for seven days or more.
It is the responsibility of the lessee to renew the moorage contract by the first of May each year. Non-renewal by that date means the berth has been abandoned. Lessees must provide proof of insurance for their vessel (minimum $1.000.000 liability) at the time of renewal.
When a vessel is sold, the lessee must notify MLPOS, and the vessel must be removed from the berth. The berth must be vacated on the date of transfer of ownership. If this is not done, the vessel will be removed at the expense of the former owner. The contract for this vessel is now deemed to be null and void.
MLPOS reserves the right to relocate at any time, any vessel moored at Thieves Bay Marina without previous notice to the lessee.
MLPOS may cancel the moorage contract if a lessee, or lessee’s guest, violates any Marina Regulation. Any vessel occupying a berth shall be removed within 48 hours from the mailing or hand delivery of such notice. If the vessel is not removed, MLPOS may remove the vessel at the lessee’s expense.
Berth Change Requests
Berth Change Requests are considered ahead of Moorage Applications when berths become available.
All Change Requests by a lessee for a different berth (e.g. larger berth, drift in berth, change of location etc.) must be applied for using the MLPOS Berth Change Request Form. When the Marina Manager has approved the Change Request it will be dated and, if available, a berth assigned and a contract issued.
If a suitable berth is not available the application will be placed on the Wait List.
If a moorage lessee acquires a different vessel, a new MLPOS Berth Change Request Form must be submitted, and a new moorage contract must be obtained, PRIOR to docking this vessel at Thieves Bay Marina.
If the new vessel is deemed by the Marina Manager to be too large for the currently leased berth, and a suitable berth is unavailable, the application, if approved, will be placed on the Wait List, until a suitable berth becomes available.
A prorated initial berth fee and annual moorage fee will be charged for a larger vessel.
If the new vessel is deemed by the Marina Manager to be too small for the currently leased berth, and if a smaller berth is unavailable, the lessee may, at the Marina Manager’s discretion, temporarily moor the vessel in the currently leased berth, until a suitable smaller berth becomes available.
Casual Moorage
Casual moorage at Thieves Bay Marina is limited to members, in good standing, of the Magic Lake Property Owners’ Society (MLPOS), or visiting boaters sponsored by a member, in good standing.
Casual Moorage and Visitor Moorage will be on a first come, first served basis at the discretion of the Marina Manager, and may cancelled without notice.
Moorage fees shall be prearranged and prepaid by the member requesting casual moorage. Moorage that has not been prearranged and prepaid shall be charged at the daily visitor rate.
Casual/Visitor Moorage is subject to all the terms and conditions of the Thieves Bay Marina - Policies and Procedures.
All vessels moored at Thieves Bay Marina must be clearly marked with a name or identification number.
All vessels moored at Thieves Bay Marina shall for all purposes be construed to be in storage and the provisions of the “Warehouse Lien Act, RSBC 1996, Chapter 480” shall apply in total.

Depending on length of stay, the completion of a MLPOS Casual Moorage Application Form may be required. The applicant will state the name and/or identification number of the vessel, width, draft and overall length, including any projection from the bow or stern. (Maximum allowable mooring length is 36ft., beam 12ft.).
