ATTENTION WEST ACCESS MARINA PATRONS

There have been several recent sightings of raccoons on the docks at our marina. Please remember that it is each boat owner’s responsibility to secure their vessel and help prevent wildlife issues.

To Help Deter Raccoons from Entering Your Boat:

Ensure all food, drinks, bait, and trash are stored in sealed containers or completely removed from your boat.

Securely close and lock all doors, hatches, and windows when you leave your boat.

Do not leave food, snacks, or coolers where animals can access them.

Check your vessel regularly for any signs of entry or damage.

If you haven’t checked your boat recently, we urge you to do so as soon as possible. Do not leave anything onboard that could attract wildlife.

Thank you for doing your part to keep our marina clean and safe for everyone.

Hello Everyone,
We hope you all have had a wonderful season. With the season coming to an end we have a couple things we would like to address.
One of the things is before you will be able to put in a winterization work order we will need the key either on your boat or in the office here so we can get it done in a timely manner.
The next thing we need to discuss is that we need all winterization work orders in to the office by November 1st, 2023. If you put one in after this date there will not be a guarantee that we will get to it before we get the first freeze.
If you have any questions or concerns please give us a call at 618-594-2461
Thanks,
The West Access Team

The marina looks good. We have walked the docks and all seems well. It would be a good idea for you to check on your boats just to make sure.
