Privately owned moorings within the Avalon Harbor area are currently available for purchase directly from their current owners. This provides an opportunity for individuals to acquire a mooring space in one of the island's key aquatic zones. The option for private owners to sell their moorings is a well-established aspect of the harbor's infrastructure, allowing for the transfer of these valuable assets between parties.
As of September 29, 2026, a list detailing the Avalon moorings specifically available for sale was accessible. This listing provides a centralized resource for those interested in exploring current opportunities to acquire a privately held mooring. Prospective buyers could consult this compilation to identify available options and initiate inquiries with owners.
Owners who wish to make their privately owned mooring available for sale have a defined process to follow. They may request that their mooring be added to the official list maintained on the City of Avalon's webpage. This service aims to centralize information, making it easier for both sellers and potential buyers to connect. To initiate the process of adding a mooring to this publicly accessible list, current mooring owners are directed to contact the Avalon Harbor Department. This department manages the administrative aspects of the listing service, ensuring that information is accurately presented and updated.
It is important for both sellers and buyers to understand the role of the City of Avalon in these transactions. The City of Avalon explicitly notes that it is not directly involved in the actual sale of the privately owned mooring equipment itself. The transaction, including negotiation of terms and financial exchange, occurs solely between the private seller and the private buyer. The City acts primarily as a regulatory body and a facilitator of information through its listing service.
However, despite not being a direct participant in the sale, the City of Avalon does play a crucial role once a sale has been agreed upon. When a privately owned mooring is successfully sold, the City must be formally notified of the transaction. This notification is a mandatory step required for the subsequent transfer of the Revocable Mooring Permit to the new owner. Without this official notification and subsequent transfer, the new owner would not hold the necessary permit to legally utilize the mooring space. This ensures proper regulatory oversight and maintains accurate records of mooring ownership and usage within Avalon Harbor. The requirement for notification ensures that all mooring permits remain current and are correctly assigned following any private sale.
