True, but that's what were used to on this side of the gulf :-) Let's see if I can remember on some of the fees. The "expensive" Port Isabel ones were $435 a month, probably plus electricity. Based on our 49' LOA. The one we settled on was at Port Lavaca. $3 a foot, based on slip size. $4 a foot extra if you stick out of the slip. So $150 for us in a 50 foot slip, plus $15 electricity and the $30 a head liveaboard. Corpus Christi Municipal Marina. $4 to $5.25 a foot, depending on which dock, $50 "utility recovery fee" over 40', $28 under, metered electricity and $75 liveaboard. Liveaboard not allowed on under 30'. In Louisiana: Near New Orleans at Slidell, North side of the lake, one was $5 a ft LOA plus $75 liveaboard fee. Another I think was $6 a foot plus I think the same liveaboard. The others were all full up with a waiting list. Our slip at the Port of Iberia was a one year lease at $900 a year, now up to $1,000 a year. They have meters for electricity and water and you get it turned on. Our "utilities" ran $50 to $75 a month. No liveaboard with the new rules. At Intracoastal City, $100 a month including water. $10 for limited 15A electricity or put your own pole and meter in if running AC, etc. No extra fee for liveaboard. Over about 4 1/2' draft you have to wait for a South wind or be able to push through mud. Another one there, at a shrimp plant. Dockside only, no electricity and haul your water from a faucet. $60 a month. Delcambre public dock. Free dockside, just tell the city you're there. No electricity and a faucet for water at the start of the "L" dock. Note that a shrimp boat may raft up to you if it's crowded.
