boat slip

Marina parking spot

A boat slip is a designated parking space for a boat in a marina or harbor—a narrow channel of water between two docks or piers where a vessel can be moored.

Slips are typically rented or owned like parking spaces: We pay five hundred a month for our boat slip.

The slip provides protection and easy access compared to anchoring in open water.
