For those new to boating, the terms “boat slip” and “boat dock” might appear interchangeable. However, despite both serving as points where boats tether to land, they possess distinct characteristics. When docking your yacht at a marina, you’re presented with the option of either a boat slip or a boat dock. Determining which suits your vessel and docking requirements best is essential.
