Sign Up & Contracts

Signing up for spring launch and fall haul-out is done directly on our website. Once the form is completed and submitted, it is received immediately by the Sunnyside team.

Sign-up is typically available in March and August. Specific dates are shared in our monthly newsletter, with reminders sent in advance. Contracts are time-stamped as they are received, and that timestamp determines your seniority order for your selected week. Popular weeks typically fill up within minutes, so we encourage early sign-up.

Scheduling

During the week prior to your scheduled launch or haul-out week, the Sunnyside team will send out an email to gather any day-of-week preferences. A follow-up email will then confirm your assigned day and order.

We work to balance fairness with safe and efficient operations, coordinating with our yard and service teams to create the best possible schedule.

Spring Launch & Summarization

Spring launch begins the second week of April each year (ice permitting) and runs for approximately six weeks. As boats are launched, our technicians perform summarization services. During this time, regular service work is limited, so we can focus on getting everyone in the water efficiently.

Before your scheduled week, please ensure:

• Your boat is fully prepared for launch by Sunday afternoon
• The Marina has access to your keys
• Proof of insurance is current
• All outstanding balances are paid

After launch, our staff will place your boat in your slip, secure it, and connect shore power as needed. We ask all boaters to visit the boat promptly to check systems and adjust lines as needed.

Fall Haul-Out & Winterization

Fall haul-out begins mid-September and runs through the last Friday in October. Typically, the later weeks fill up within minutes.

Before your scheduled week, please ensure:

• Your boat is fully prepared for haul out by Sunday afternoon
• The Marina has access to your keys
• The fresh water tank is drained
• The final pump-out is complete
• All outstanding balances are paid

Haul-out is a coordinated process involving multiple teams. Our team will bring the boats to the fuel dock, our mechanics complete winterization in the water, and then our yard team hauls, washes, and blocks the boat. Shrink wrap vendors typically follow closely behind.

Shrink Wrap & Recycling

Shrink wrapping is provided by our preferred vendors:

The Boat Doctor (Dominic) 612-309-8702
JL Boatworks (Jason) 651-260-2788

These trusted vendors have years of experience in shrink-wrapping boats and the proper insurance. Members may not shrink-wrap their own boats. Use of alternative vendors requires prior management approval.

These vendors work with our schedule to unwrap the boat ahead of your launch day and wrap it as close to the haul-out day as possible. All shrink wrap is recycled. The easiest way to support this process is to have the same vendor remove it in the spring. There is no charge for removal. Please do not place shrink wrap in marina dumpsters.
