From the Northport Village Corporation Waterfront Committee:
Attention Baysiders:
Please remember to complete a Small Watercraft Registration Form for any small watercraft—Dinghies, Kayaks, Paddleboards, canoes, etc.—you plan to store on village property. The application is attached.
This registration is mandatory, fees are as follows:
- $25 for Dinghies (as defined in Waterfront Ordinance)
- $15 for other Small Watercraft
- $5 additional fee for any applicant that is not a Village or Town of Northport resident
Registration packets are available on-line at nvcmaine.gov and www.baysidemaine.com, or at the Village office. Completed forms may by returned to the Village office with a check (no cash please). In return, boaters will receive a sticker to be affixed to their small watercraft.
Also, please remember new size limits associated with dinghies tied overnight to Village boat floats. This year, dinghies may not exceed 10′ in length and 5.5′ in width. As in past years, dinghies tied overnight to the wharf boat float may not have an outboard motor greater than 9.9 hp, while those with motors up to 25 hp may tie up on the out-float.
The goal of the Waterfront Committee is to provide access to all who want to use and store watercraft in the Village in a safe and effective manner. We continue to hope that, through an effective use of our waterfront assets, we can maintain the infrastructure currently available in the Village, and possibly eliminate the need for capital improvements to address the increased demand.

Thank you.
