Inexpensive moorings in California?

[JadeDelphi]

I'm looking for a new place to park my 29 ft Columbia sloop, as the slip fees at the Monterey municipal wharf are killing my budget. I would prefer not to have to sell my boat and would like to find a different spot I could more that is less expensive and also not as tourist infested. Looking for suggestions from the California coastal community, particularly in the Central Coast area. Cheers!

Totally understand the struggle with slip fees. Have you checked out Moss Landing or Santa Cruz? They're not as touristy as Monterey, and you might find more budget-friendly options. Local marinas or yacht clubs could have some hidden gems. Wishing you smooth sailing on your search for the perfect spot! Cheers!
