Annual Deadline

June 1st is the annual deadline to have boat registrations updated on your account. State registrations are required for all motorized boats and non-motorized boats that are assigned to boat stakes. Since the State of Michigan doesn’t require registrations for non-motorized boats, you most likely won’t get an expiration reminder.You can check your registration expiration date by logging into your Member Portal. Registrations not updated by the deadline forfeit their associated boat stake.

Please note these other important boat registration & parking facts from the Sandy Pines Member Handbook.

Watercraft Regulations

Registration:

• Watercraft stored in the bullpen, on the site, and on Lake Monterey must be registered each year with Sandy Pines and display a current watercraft sticker.
• Watercraft, including non-motorized boats, canoes, kayaks, paddleboats, and row boats being used on Lake Monterey, must have a registration number issued by a State, to obtain a Sandy Pines water registration sticker, in order to retain a boat stake. The number must be displayed on the craft for identification purposes.   Non-motorized watercraft, such as canoes, kayaks, paddleboats and single or two person sailboats, do not need registration numbers issued by a State if the watercraft displays a Sandy Pines land registration sticker and the member’s site number, at least 3” high and highly visible, on the right rear corner of the vessel for identification.
