Berkeley Marine Center, Inc., provides services on a “Time and Materials” basis. We are happy to provide a written estimate for planned work. Please contact us if you have any questions about our yard rates, payment terms, or to request an estimate.
BMC Yard Labor Customers
Payment for haul and launch charge is due prior to hauling the vessel.
Payment for bottom package is due prior to hauling the vessel, tax on all materials and any additional charge is due prior to launching the vessel.
All Customers
Progress bills are created on or about the 5th and the 20th of the month. Progress bill payments are due within 3 days to insure continued work on your boat.
Lay days may apply to any vessel when BMC work is complete. Lay days apply to any vessel not picked up within 24 hours of launch, unless other arrangements are made prior to launch.
If you need to add any jobs to your work order, send an email to info@berkeleymarine.com. All work order additions must be in writing.
Travel Lift Services
We can haul boats up to 30 tons in weight and maximum beam of 15 feet. We do not haul ferrocement boats or houseboats. All haul and launch services include pressure wash and environmental fees. Your hull should be maintained by a diver regularly. If your boat arrives with mussels or excessive leafy growth on the hull, we will require that you hire a diver to clean your boat at our dock prior to haul out. There is also an additional fee if there is excessive slime growth from lack of hull maintenance requiring extra time for pressure washing.
