The 2010 Barber Marina Hurricane Storage Plan (the Plan) is designed to help local boaters arrange for the care of their vessels in advance of a hurricane or tropical storm. The Barber Marina Hurricane Storage Plan provides boaters with haul-out and storage services in the event a named storm enters the Gulf of Mexico with forecasted landfall at or near Perdido Pass, Alabama, assuming that the storm would likely have an adverse impact on boats left in the water. All haul-out activity after the Barber Marina Staff implements a Hurricane Alert will be “Plan related” and normal haul-outs will be suspended.
The Plan is available to both Customers and Non-Customers. Space is limited, both in the dry storage and the boat yard, so early enrollment is encouraged. In the event a Hurricane Alert is called, haul-out services will be offered on a first come first serve basis to plan members only. To the extent that haul-out and storage capacity remains after all Plan Members are accommodated, services will then be offered to other parties. Rates contained herein are subject to change.

Annual Membership: $750.00 (before 6/1/2010)
Annual Membership: $1000.00 (on or after 6/1/2010)
During Hurricane Alert: $1500.00

Membership in the Plan provides you a space (in accordance with the membership agreement). All other fees apply. Prices are subject to change. They are:

Dry Storage Building Haul-out with Fork Lift:
Haul-out, Blocking & Launch: $5.00 per foot
Outside Daily Storage: $1.00 per foot

A $100.00 additional charge applies if Marina personnel are required to secure the top side of your vessel. All rates are subject to change without notice.

Membership entitles the boater to unlimited hurricane haul-outs, each event being subject to the marina’s standard haul-out and storage rates whether the haul-out is accomplished via the travel lift or the dry storage forklifts. Due to the focus on preparing for and recovering from a storm event, no other work (pressure wash, bottom job, etc) will be performed while the boat is in the yard.

Haul-outs are not guaranteed. Some events that may prevent haul out are, but are not limited to:

• Equipment failure of the lift(s)
• Injury to critical personnel operating the lifts
• Reduced preparation time due to the arrival of a fast moving storm
• Insufficient storage locations on site due to (but not limited to)
• Construction activities
• Existing boats in storage
• Failure of a tenant to perform their responsibilities to make storage space available
• Failure of the Member/Owner to provide needed information regarding the vessel.

Given that the haul-outs are not guaranteed, members are required to have a personal hurricane plan that evacuates the marina in accordance with the terms and conditions of their slip lease.
In the event that the marina is unable to perform a hurricane haul-out for reasons not caused by the boater, the impacted boater(s) will receive a refund of their deposit but will retain their membership rights to hurricane haul-outs for the remainder of the storm season.

Storage fees will be accessed starting the day after the boat is hauled and blocked. Haul-out and storage fees are payable prior to a re-launch of the vessel. In the event that the charges of a vessel are unpaid when re-launch is scheduled, the vessel will not be launched and it will continue to accrue storage charges and be subject to the late fees and interest detailed in the Haul-out Work order. Should the account become 60 days past due, the marina has the right to initiate the process for the non-judicial sale of a vessel.
