Does anybody know the cost of seasonal slip fees and seasonal mooring fees at the Atlantic Highlands State Marina in Atlantic Highlands NJ? I looked on their website and no mention of fees are indicated.

Yam,
You can download the .pdf for membership application which has the posted rates. Seems pretty reasonable.

AHYC only provides launch service, not the moorings themselves.

You need to own your own tackle and ball, which is required to be a screw-type anchor, not a weighted anchor. As of last year, renting the spot is $1900 per year from the city.

If you sail, I would opt for a mooring for price and value. It's very much a fisherman's marina and although the facilities are ok, it's packed, no finger piers and and stern-to docking. Nothing horrendous, just not that convenient to come and go nor do maintenance.

I do highly recommend the club. Lots of nice people, great bar (the view is really nice on a clear night) and Atlantic Highlands is a nice town. The launch service is pretty good, but if you like early mornings or late nights, you'd be advised to keep a dinghy handy.

Is there a multi-year waiting list to get a lease to put a mooring ball out or is it relatively easy to get a lease?

My understanding is it isn't a big deal, but I don't keep a mooring there. Probably best to call the city and/or Harbor Commission and find out how the process works.
