[quote=CDavis2]I think you are looking at the wrong side of the page from the email that you mentioned.

I think not. (I referenced no e-mail, but a link to the ON website.) I used the same low season mooring ($30 when they get balls in) and slip ($2 per foot) rates as you stated. For a 40' cat, that is $80 a night. As for the Beach Club, here is the quote from the same ON page on which the rates are stated on the left side:


"RESORT & BEACH CLUB ACCESS FOR OVERNIGHT MARINA GUESTS

Marina, mooring and outside guests will be encouraged to join us at the Marina Village and Nova Restaurant.

Overnight marina guests can purchase a Resort Day Pass to gain access to the Oil Nut Bay resort amenities including the Beach Club and Restaurant (reservations are required), Wellness Studio, Tennis & Pickle Ball Courts, Kids Club Nut House and Hiking Trails. The Resort Day Pass is $75 per person.

Outside and mooring guests interested in visiting the Beach Club or enjoying lunch at the Beach Club Restaurant can purchase a Beach Club Day Pass for $125 per person. This allows access to the Beach Club along with complimentary use of watersports equipment. Please note that Hobie Cats are available at an additional hourly rate. Outside and mooring guests will not have access to other resort facilities.


For 6 people on a ball, the Resort Day Pass at $125 per person totals $750, plus the $30 ball fee equals $780.
For 6 people in a slip, the Resort Day Pass at $75 per person totals $450, plus the $80 slip fee equals $530.

The math is the math. Moreover, if you stay overnight on the yet-to-be-installed mooring balls and buy a day pass, you can eat lunch at the Beach Club restaurant but not dinner, even though you are paying $50 a day more than a marina slip renter who apparently is under no such restriction.

Compare this to Scrub Island. On our last trip, in June 2017 with a crew of 11 on a 52' cat, we stayed in slip for two nights at a cost of $3 per foot per night. (The weather was a little rainy, so with 4 grandkids, we opted for the second night. The swim-up bars also may have contributed to the decision!) For $14 per person per day we got dockage and free run of the entire resort, including the pools and two restaurants (for any meal). Oil Nut is more than 5 times that amount.

ps I was mistaken on the ON garbage disposal. It's $10 a day for 2 bags, not $10 a bag. But that is still twice the LBM cost for 2 bags.
