Bridge Marina Boating Tip: Dock and Dine Etiquette

Pulling up to a popular restaurant on the water, docking your boat, and then enjoying a fantastic meal with a breathtaking view – docking and dining is a quintessential way for boaters to spend a sunny summer afternoon or evening on the water! When it comes to “docking and dining,” there are some etiquette rules to follow to make sure you’re respectful of both the establishment and other boaters.

In this video, Ray Fernandez of Bridge Marina demonstrates some dock and dine etiquette basics with the friendly folks at Bahr’s Landing Restaurant in Highlands, New Jersey.
