This was answered verbally to one of our owners saying that the boat gets pulled from the marina for the season - at a minimum - and permanently for egregious violations. One warning PER BOAT. So, it affects all owners on the boat. You'd have to switch to launch-and-retrieve (by a third party), I guess.

Thanks for the research but i still don’t feel it supports the ban.

So a couple (the electricity and getting caught in the cables) may be unique to the marina. All the others were run of the mill drownings and could have happened anywhere on the lake.

So obviously no swimming anywhere on the lake?

And I know this has been a rule for years. Same with no fishing off the docks. It just never was enforced.

Aramark/NPS evidently have been able to enforce a loss of slip penalty on a multi-owner boat. The story was that one set of owners was setting off fireworks in the marina (!) and as a result the houseboat was ejected from the marina. The other owners got together and bought out the offending party but that didn't help. The boat was still ejected from Wahweap (and supposedly is now at Antelope).

I have no doubt that they could do it. I’m sure it’s in the moorage contract.

In fact, we were threatened with that action on our board due to the bad actions of a single owner. We did buy him out of the boat.

That action is a big stick and will get people’s attention. But I’m also certain it will catch most owners blindsided.

I emailed Christopher at Halls about fishing off our houseboat and was told we will allow fishing on the shoreline only.

$1000 + /month paid each of the 12 months of the year for the slip and they aren’t going to allow fishing off the houseboats?!? Good luck with that one NPS/Aramark…..

EVERYONE who thinks more enforcement at the lake would be a net positive needs to pay attention to this stuff.
 
I know most people don’t read their contracts, but 3(e) makes it clear and enforcement in Section 19 makes it enforceable. Given that it’s usually one person that signs the contract, I hope they’ve made their boat aware. Unfortunately, as houseboat owners, the dagger is the NPS regulation and since Aramark is only enforcing the regulation, owners don’t have much leverage.
 
It’s really a no brainer to not have swimmers in high traffic areas like a marina! It’s just common sense, period!
Should kids play soccer In the mall parking lot?
Would you want people jogging on
the freeway? Should Swimmers be on the boat ramps??
There are plenty of places to swim! The marina is not the place for swimming !
