38. A marina (coast or shore) is a dock or basin
with moorings and supplies for yachts and
small boats.

39. Marinas may be located along the banks of
rivers connecting to lakes or seas and may be
inland. They are also located on coastal
harbors (natural or man made) or coastal
lagoons, either as stand alone facilities or
within a port complex.

40. A marina may have refueling, washing and repair
facilities, ship chandeliers, stores and restaurants.
A marina may include ground facilities such as
parking lots for vehicles and boat trailers. Slipways
(or boat ramps) transfer a trailered boat into the
water. A marina may have a boat hoist well (a
traveling crane) operated by service personnel. A
marina may provide in- or out-of-water boat
storage.

41. Some marinas offer boat storage including rack
storage and dry storage yards. Dry storage or dry
stacking (as opposed to on-water storage) is
mainly found in the USA and Europe.
Drystack boat storage stores boats vertically in
rack systems up to four boats high. It extends
the life of the boat by keeping the hull dry,
provides storage at seasonal marinas, and allows
for storage of smaller boats in marinas lacking
wet slip capacity. Drystack is particularly useful
out of season, and important where winter
temperatures are cold enough for the water to
freeze.

43. Boats are moored on buoys, on fixed or
floating walkways tied to an anchoring piling
by a roller or ring mechanism (floating docks,
pontoons). Buoys are cheaper to rent but less
convenient than being able to walk from land
to boat. Harbor shuttles (water taxis), may
transfer people between the shore and boats
moored on buoys.
