Having reneaged on an agreement to take my boat out over winter the marina has
now hiked their monthly berthing rates by almost 50% without warning. The first I
knew about this was when I sent six months' funds (in response to their quote)
and a crafty email back stated I had paid for only five. Luckily I scrutinised the
dates as they had not explained what they were up to and I could have easily
taken it as a simple confirmation of my payment. When I pointed out that a
mistake had been made I received a rude reply.
The cost for a 31ft boat now is apparently 340 Euros per month (240 Euros last
year). They claim the increase is due to "price increases". I was also "fined" 40
Euros for paying late (I have an ongoing dispute which I wanted resolved first).
I strongly advise anyone with a berthing in Dubrovnik or anyone considering
berthing there to thoroughly check the 2004 prices and make sure you have any
and all agreements made in writing well in advance. You should also watch for
the application of "administrative fees" if they decide you have paid late.
