Moose Landing Marina in Naples is ready for the boating season…but some adjustments have been made due to COVID-19.

In a newsletter on Tuesday, the Naples marina announced its opening on Friday, May 15. 

“The docks are in, boats for our rental fleet are being prepped, and our facilities are spruced up and ready to go. We are proud of our new Service Office Building. We think you will agree that it looks great and so does the rest of the marina. Kudos to our staff for their hard work in these difficult times to get things ready for the season,” the newsletter read.

As Moose Landing closely monitors the impact of the COVID-19, its highest priority remains the safety and well-being of customers and staff. 

“Please note that we have put into place enhanced cleaning and sanitizing of all public spaces. This will continue throughout the season,” the newsletter reads. “We are also revising our dock operation procedures to eliminate direct contact and maintain distancing of at least six feet between customers and our staff. Please help us by following the new guidelines below to ensure the safety of our Moose Landing Marina family.”
