Have any of you guys been to a Marina that bans Pets? We have cruised up and down the East Coast and up in the New York canals thousands of miles with our precious crew a ten year old Shih Tzu named Pixie. She is about 10bs gentle and quiet and nice. All the Marinas and public docks we visited over the years never had a problem with dogs. In fact we have had pets on boats for at least 30 years. Well we finally found one a Marina that bans Pets. Yikes. It is our home Marina we have been it for 20 years! It is a condo Marina In Toms River NJ. The first ten years we rented from an old friend than we finally bought our slip. The original bylaws we were given had no pet ban. The Marina also has condominiums for living in with their own bylaws, somewhere along the line about 4 years ago they amended them with the Pet ban and the signs went up in the parking lot. About two years ago our dock master put some no pet stickers on the gate.
This 4th of July we were confronted about having our Pixie on our boat. So the slip is going on the market it is useless to us. We can't throw our dog in a crate and go enjoy the boat with her in prison. So what I want to know from you folks if this is the only Marina in the Country that bans Pets on boats. Thanks
