The National Park Senior Pass, available to those 62 and older for a one-time $10 fee, can be used for a 50% discount on mooring fees. The pass is available online at the NPS web site or at any National Park. So, if one of your crew has the pass, the current $7.50 discounted fee with rise to $13. Still a great deal!

Sounds like the America the Beautiful pass for $80 pays for itself after seven nights on a mooring.

$26? Who's bright idea was that - Since its a pay station and no one to give change, I think $25 would have made a lot more sense.

We're going to pick up the annual pass at the NPS Visitors Center in Cruz Bay on our January trip. I need to check if our sailing guests have the Golden Age pass. Two people are allowed to be named on the pass, but they do not have to be related. This works nicely for our boat.

I thought that Cinnamon Bay Campground was a concession, not run by the park. I didn't think that the pass would cover that, but I could be wrong. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

SuburbanDharma said: How on earth can you pay with a credit card at one of those pay station boxes? And where does it show that the annual pass allows discounted moorings? I've looked at both links but didn't see moorings (or boats for that matter) mentioned anywhere. I must be going blind in my advanced age. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Spook.gif" alt="" /> Here is a link to the page containing fees and discount info.

goozee why not, done it many times, you can also put cash in the envelope. It usually takes several weeks for the CC to post to your account. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" />

tothedogs said: I have been told that the NPS somehow monitors the names of the boats in the anchorages to see if they have paid. If not, the charter company gets dinged for the fee.
On a recent charter with IYC, I was asked to save the stubs from the envelopes and give them to IYC at the end of the charter. This is true. I don't think it is every boat every day, but as Dirty Harry said, "Do you feel lucky?"
