Ever dreamed of securing a prime spot at the Naples City Dock? With only 48 annual slips available and a waitlist stretching nearly 90 people deep, the patience required is substantial. Prospective boaters are currently looking at a five to six year wait time just to get a chance at a slip.
Even once you make it to the top of the list, the regulations are strict: no living aboard and absolutely no alcohol allowed on the dock. For many boaters, the prestige and location are worth the years of waiting, but it certainly tests one's commitment to the waterfront lifestyle. Would you put your name on a list with a half-decade wait, or is the boating life better spent elsewhere?
