Q: What is the difference between a “float/flex” week and a “fixed” week? A: If you purchase a week of “fixed” time, you are guaranteed the specified unit on your deed, each year. You do not have to call and make a reservation. Example: If you own unit 101-01, you are guaranteed unit 101 for week 1 of each year. If you purchase a week of “float/fixed” time, you are not guaranteed a specific unit at a specific time. You must call reservations each year and book a week between weeks 17 and 50. You may then request a specific unit, however, units are assigned on a first come, first served basis and, on occasion, may be changed prior to the reservation by staff for the purpose of alleviating other guests who are here longer than a week having to room move. Example: If you own unit 302-44, your reservation for this year could be for unit 108, week 18 Q: Can I book my “float/flex” week for week 3? A: No, week 3 is “fixed” time. “Fixed” time runs from week 51 through week 16. No “float/flex” time can book during “fixed” time. Q: When should I call and book my reservation? A: “Float/flex” reservations can only be made 365 days in advance. Q: What happens if I don’t pay my maintenance fees? A: Mariner’s Boathouse will pursue payment and/or foreclose on the unit. Q: What exchange affiliates are available at Mariner’s Boathouse? A: There are three available:
