This sounds like a little more than what the average residential electrician can handle. May be a step down transformer either owned by the marina or the power company. If powering thirty-six 50 amp 220 services, we're talking a 400 to 500 KW transformer. May take a few of days to get one shipped in, set and hooked up. Hooking up a generator for that kind of power also has some logistical challenges. Not quite as simple as running down the the rental store and picking up a 10 KW unit and running a few extension cords.

Whether you live in a house or a boat, think you need to have contingency plans for a week without power. While the marina and the power company should have plans to resolve these kinds of infrastructure problems in a timely manner, mother nature may have other plans.
