Pump Out Use Guidelines at Breakwater Cove Marina

Breakwater Cove Marina provides pump‑out and environmental services to the boating public; however, these services are located on private marina property, and all private docking rules apply. Unauthorized docking is not permitted.

All boaters must follow this required instruction:

Please check in with the Fuel Dock radio Channel 9, (831) 647-9402 or Marina Office (831) 373-7857 when you are pulling up, or call ahead so we can direct you. This applies to all vessels, every time.
