Check out the Sandpiper Cove Boater's Resource Site for information designed to assist our many residents and guests that bring their boats to Sandpiper Cove. 

The following policies and procedures allow us to offer you a quality docking facility here at Sandpiper Cove. These policies are designed to protect you and your our guests as well as provide for everyone’s peaceful enjoyment of the facility. Your boating experience is very important to us and we promise to make every effort to exceed your expectations. A full copy of the Rules and Regulations can be viewed on the Boater's Resource Site.

The boat owner must be an owner of or a registered guest in a condominium at Sandpiper Cove. Boat ownership is defined to mean either personally or as the person with the controlling interest or majority stockholder of a corporation or partnership owning said boat. 

Peak Season (SPC Summer Rental Period):
Any boat owner can reserve up to 14 consecutive days of dock space based upon slip availability and their purchase of an appropriate permit for use during their stay.

Off-Peak Season (Remainder of the Year):
Any boat owner can reserve up to 4 months of dock space based upon slip availability and their purchase of an appropriate permit for use during their stay.

Reservations may be made up to a year in advance and may require a deposit depending on the permit type requested.

A Reservation Request is made by selecting a slip on the accompanying map. When the calendar is displayed, select your desired check-in and check-out dates and complete the request form displayed.

Documents that you must provide are a signed rental contract or other documentation from the unit owner or manager that indicates the length and dates of your stay, a copy of your boat’s current registration, and proof of at least $100K of liability insurance for your vessel.

Proof of the required insurance and the state vessel registration should be faxed to SPC Canal Reservations at            (850) 654-4186       or scanned and sent to jbranch@sandpipercove.com before any reservation can be confirmed. Without SPC confirmation, your requested slip and dates will not be guaranteed and may be removed from the system to allow others access to the slip during the time period you desire. These documents will also be required during check-in upon your arrival.

No docking is allowed by any vessel without a valid and current SPC Permit properly displayed.

A Permit is issued upon arrival during the check in process provided all documents have been supplied and fees have been paid.

A permit may not be issued if any of the following conditions exist:
The Reservation is made under false pretenses or, if for any reason, incorrect information is provided to secure the reservation.

The boat does not meet all of the requirements set out in the RULES AND REGULATIONS for CANAL DOCKS upon arrival.

Short Notice Requests
are allowed for Annual Permit holders at no additional cost. They are based upon slip availability.

An Annual Permit holder can make a request 48 hours or less before their anticipated arrival.  These requests are unlimited in number and they are not considered reservations. As such, they do not apply toward the permit’s reservation day totals.

Maximum request periods are the same as the seasonal reservation periods; 14 days in Peak Season and 4 months in Off-Peak Season. 

Only unreserved slips may be requested to fill Short Notice requests and slip availability is not guaranteed.

If the permit holder’s boat is already docked in a different slip, the owner is required to make arrangements for its relocation prior to their original reservation’s check-out time. 

Check-in time is 1:00 pm (Local Time)
Check with SPC if early or late arrival is expected (2 hours or more).

 

Check-out time is 11:00 am (Local Time)
Boat owners must remove their vessel when their reservation expires or risk paying substantial relocation costs and having future docking privileges revoked.

Vessels are to dock between the white markers identifying their slip. Slip numbers appear on top and along the water edge of the dock in the center of each slip (between the white markers). Operators must center the vessel between the marks and not allow any portion of the vessel to intrude into the next slip. 

Reservation Restrictions: 
Permit holders must own or be occupying a condo at Sandpiper Cove during the dates reserved.

 

Vessel Restrictions: 
No vessels with open air exhaust porting will be issued a permit unless the exhaust can also be switched and operated in a silenced mode. The overall, measured length of the vessel may not exceed 30 feet. This is measured from the forward-most part of the vessel, including anything attached to it, to the rear-most part of the vessel including platforms and engines/out-drives in their raised positions. When necessary, SPC Security will measure the vessel and make a final determination of compliance. The overall beam of the vessel may not exceed 10 feet in any hull configuration. Unpowered vessels are not allowed to occupy a slip unless specifically authorized by the SPC Manager or designate.

 

Vessel Trailer Restrictions:
Vessel trailers (loaded or empty) are not allowed to park on SPC property unless parked underneath the vessel owner's condominium unit (as found under some Villa and 4000 series units). See the Boater's Resource Page for a partial list of available off-site storage facilities.
