Boats are going overboard quickly, getting ready for an early fishery again this year.
We wish a bountiful season to all fishing customers.
Another fiscal year is coming to a close, and with it a reflection on the year's income and expenses. For those of you wondering why we have to charge so much for our services, here's how our income is spent:
Municipal taxes take about 37% of our annual revenue. Newfoundland Power gets 42%. Accounting, equipment maintenance, donations to community groups, business fees, income taxes, bank fees, and snow clearing costs take up the remaining 21% and more besides.
Notice that there is nothing left to pay wages? Duke, who is happy to assist you any time of the night or day, is a volunteer. The Marine Service Centre needs repair and maintenance. Of course, with all this, you know what must happen... Rates must go up.
New rates will take effect on May 1st, the beginning of our new fiscal year. The old rates will apply to any vessel currently still on dock. For vessels not being launched by the end of June, the new rates will take effect on May 1st.
Fall 2011
It's time to think about winter boat storage... While the rates will remain the same this winter, we do have very limited storage space. Indoor space is already at capacity, and the lot is filling up quickly. Call Duke for service, or Janet for the lowdown on costs.
Spring 2011
Boats are gearing up for an early fishery this year, and Davis Marine is busy getting boats back into the water. If you need your boat launched, please call Duke for service.
Winter 2010-11
The boat yard is full, and the the marine travel lift has been put away for the winter.
If you require emergency services (which comes with an extra fee) before spring arrives, please call Duke for service.
