Large Vessel Haul-Out and Marine Repair Facility

The Homer Marine Repair Facility is managed as an "Open Yard" facility, meaning that the vessel owner is responsible for the actual work being performed on their vessel.   The City is simply facilitating the opportunity for haul-out and uplands use, and is not responsible for the finished product.  This management structure gives the vessel owner the opportunity to manage their project from start-to-finish, contracting with vendors from the Approved Vendor List (provided by the City), or by using their own crew to make the repairs necessary for vessel maintenance. 

Vessel owners are responsible for:

• All work on their vessels, including haul-out, block, and launch activities
• Hiring only vendors that are on the City's list of "approved vendors"
• Cleanliness and safety of the immediate area surrounding their vessel
• Security of their vessel
• Safety of the crew and vendors at their vessel's work site
• Complying with City policy and the Marine Repair Facility's best management practices

Hours of Operation:

The Large Vessel Haul-Out and Marine Repair Facility is open from approximately Mid-September of each year until Mid-May.

Vessel haul-outs must be scheduled in advance by speaking with the Port Director during normal business hours.
