Crystal Shores West Association
Marina Policy and Application
Revised (March 14, 2024)
Please review the following Marina Policy and Application, fill out the form and return as per the instructions
Crystal Shores West Association has a 30-slip floating Marina and 13 mooring buoys. The Marina and buoys are located on Nevada State Land for which the Association has a special use permit. The Association pays fees to the State of Nevada for each boat slip and buoy. Maintenance on the docks and buoy field is funded through revenue derived from user fees. The Board has allowed the use of the Marina by Incline Village residents living outside of Crystal Shores West
Application Process
Beginning with the 2024 season, all registrations will be completed through this link (www.crystalshoreswest.com/eform_detail.asp?id=9) . There is an electronic form along with all instructions on the left menu. Non owners can access a non owner specific form on the home page with no site access needed. No application will be processed until all items are satisfactorily completed and received. Upon approval of the application the Harbor Master will assign a boat slip for the registered boat. Moorings are issued for the applicant’s boat and not individuals. The Harbor Master may refer any application to the Board for approval.
Non-member use of Marina
The Board of Directors may allow non-members to use the Marina. The Board will set the fee for non-member use.
Harbor Master
By March 31 of each year the Board of Directors for Crystal Shores West will appoint a “Harbor Master”.
Slip Assignments
Slips and buoys will be assigned by the Harbor Master.
Mooring Season
Boats will be allowed to moor from May 1 through October 31. Requests for exceptions shall be made to the Harbor Master.
Mooring Fee Schedule
Non-Member Slip or Buoy $7,500 per season
Insurance Requirements
Vessels must be insured with liability limits of no less than $500,000. Per our HOA insurance carrier the policy must name Crystal Shores West Association as an additional insured OR additional interest under the liability portion of the policy.

Marina Slips are available for powerboats and sailboats not less than 16 nor more than 24 feet in length. Buoys are available for powerboats and sailboats no greater than 36 feet in length. Length of boat includes appendages to the stern. All other boats shall be non-qualifying. Non-qualifying boats less than 14 feet may moor on the sides at a reduced fee.

Non-owners will be allowed one side slip for a kayak or row boat to gain access to their mooring. It must be clearly marked with their last name or buoy number.
Marina Key and Gate
The Association has installed a locking gate at the Marina to protect the property of those using the Marina. Since the Marina is a fee area, only members using the Marina are issued a code to the gate. The Marina gate must be kept closed at all times. Do not loan your code to others.
