Launch Request Form

Do you wish to be present when your vessel is launched?

Do you own stands that you will be removing from the property? If yes, please pick up stands promptly after your vessel is launched from the shop parking lot (preferably within one week of your launch.)
Is vessel being serviced prior to launch?
If you answered yes, does work need to be completed prior to launch?
Have you instructed them to submit insurance certification to the office?

If not, please do so.
Would you like the Marina to perform work on your vessel, such as bottom paint, underwater metal, etc., prior to launch?

IF YES, PLEASE FILL OUT LAUNCH-WORK ORDER AND SUBMIT WITH THIS LAUNCH REQUEST FORM
Do you want the Marina to install your drain plug(s)? If yes, please ensure that your boat plug(s) are accessible and evident to the yard crew.
Is the vessel locked?

Please note...

  • Your vessel will not be launched if we are unable to access bilges for inspection.
  • You will be notified when the vessel has been launched and tied in your slip. It is your responsibility to inspect the vessel in a timely manner and secure it to your satisfaction. Bowleys will be diligent in checking bilges upon initial launch. As a matter of good seamanship, owners should make sure all pumps are operational and all thru-hull fittings are connected prior to launch.
  • Prior to being launched, all vessel owners shall hand in a copy of the vessel Title/Registration and/or USCG Documentation and Insurance.
  • No sails or canvas may be installed prior to launch which conflicts with Bowleys Marina's Rules and Regulations, Section 4, paragraph 1.
  • Insurance must be current and proper liability coverage must be in effect prior to launch.

ATTENTION RENTERS: If you have not renewed your rental agreement for this year, your contract expires on March 31. Beginning April 1, you will be billed $1.75 per foot per day for land storage until the vessel leaves the property. Please call the office and renew your contract or inform the office of your plans.

The Bowleys staff looks forward to working with you this Spring launch season. Please bring anything you feel needs to be addressed to the attention of the management. We cannot improve our service without your feedback.

* SUBMIT A LAUNCH AUTHORIZATION FORM WHEN ALL WORK IS COMPLETE AND YOUR VESSEL IS READY TO BE LAUNCHED Please do not AUTHORIZE Launch unless the vessel is READY.
