Boatyard Policies

Owner-Performed Work

Customers may work on their own vessels provided they follow all boatyard policies.

Pressure washing, spray painting and fiberglass work are reserved exclusively for Park Isle Marine personnel. All sandblasting must be arranged through Park Isle Marine.

Sanding and Grinding

Open sanding or grinding is prohibited anywhere on the vessel, above or below the waterline. Vessels must be enclosed with suitable hoarding to contain dust and debris before sanding or grinding begins.

Work Area and Cleanup

Customers and outside contractors must keep their work areas clean and orderly throughout the job. Tools, materials and debris must be contained within the designated work area, and surrounding access routes must remain clear.

Work areas must be cleaned at the end of each workday and before launch or departure. Any cleanup required by Park Isle Marine will be billed to the vessel owner at $120 per hour.

Ground Protection

A tarp must be placed underneath every vessel before work begins and remain in place throughout the work to collect dust, debris and spills. Tarps must be kept clean, and collected waste must be disposed of appropriately.

Park Isle Marine provides tarps at cost, billed to the vessel owner.

Owner-Hired Outside Contractors

All outside contractors hired directly by the vessel owner require approval from Park Isle Marine before starting work. Where Park Isle Marine provides the required service, the work must be performed by our team unless an exception is approved in advance. Outside contractors may be approved for services we do not provide.

Approved contractors must provide proof of insurance before starting work and comply with all boatyard policies.

Contractors must check in before beginning work each day, describe the work being performed and report the number of personnel working on site. Contractors must check out when work stops and report their finishing time.

A yard-use fee of $10 per person, per hour applies to approved owner-hired contractors and their personnel. This fee is billed directly to the vessel owner, separately from the contractor’s own charges. For example, a five-person crew incurs a yard-use fee of $50 per hour.

Subcontractors Arranged by Park Isle Marine

Park Isle Marine may arrange subcontractors to complete work on a vessel as part of an authorized project.

Hourly subcontractor labour is billed at the subcontractor’s labour cost plus 25%, or Park Isle Marine’s applicable hourly labour rate for the work performed.

Fixed-price subcontracted services are billed at cost plus 25%. The billing basis will be confirmed with the vessel owner before subcontracted work begins.

The owner-hired contractor yard-use fee does not apply to subcontractors arranged and billed through Park Isle Marine.

Overdue Storage Accounts

Long-term storage rates are conditional on the customer’s account remaining current. If a storage payment becomes overdue, the vessel will be switched to the daily lay-day rate of $2.25 per foot per day, effective from the first day payment is overdue.

Lay-day charges replace monthly storage charges for the same period and continue until the account is paid in full, including periods exceeding 30 days. Long-term storage rates may then be reinstated by agreement with Park Isle Marine.

Billing and Payment

All invoices must be paid in full before the vessel is launched. Longer projects are billed through progress invoices issued every two weeks or monthly.

We do not accept credit card payments.

Interest on Overdue Invoices

Invoice balances remaining unpaid more than 30 days after the invoice date will accrue interest at 2% per month (24% per annum), compounded monthly. Interest begins on the 31st day after the invoice date and applies to the outstanding balance, including previously accrued interest, until payment is received.
