(b)Permit fees are strictly in accordance with published schedules. Permit fees at the 79th Street Boat Basin shall be paid in advance to cover the full boating season.

Depending on available space, summer seasonal customers at the boat basin may be allowed to arrive prior to May 1 and/or depart after October 31. In such instances, a half-month pro-rated charge, based on the associated six-month summer permit, will be applied from April 15 to April 30 and/or from November 1 to November 15. Any seasonal permittee arriving prior to April 15 and/or departing after November 15 will be billed the daily transient rate for the period of time at the boat basin prior to April 15 and/or after November 15.
