boat slips

Docks for vessels

Boat slips are designated parking spaces for boats at a marina or dock—individual berths where vessels can be moored between uses.

A slip typically consists of a narrow channel between two piers or floating docks: We rented a boat slip for the summer.

Slips are bought, sold, and rented like parking spots or storage units.
