Here is the slip. I could face either way.
It definitely depends on the marina. Some of the big city marinas have a lot of boat traffic into the wee hours of the night and on a “T-Head” you are exposed to wake and can be rock & rolling all night. Of course it’s posted “no wake” but doesn’t matter because some don’t know what a wake is. In your case based on your overhead pic, you would be fine because you’re tucked in towards the back of the marina. I prefer a slip stern in. You can still flip your boat around for cleaning or maintenance.We are looking at new marinas for next year and one that we are considering has two slips for even money. One is a t-head shared with another boat and one is a conventional slip with a small finger pier. Any pro's or con's to the t-head and side tie up?
I would be in heaven with the right T-Head.
I like it , a lot, assuming there's not a lot of boat traffic around it. At one of my last marinas this was the desired slip, though bass boaters zipped by all day/night/morning.View attachment 116810

Are we still talking about boats slips? ;-)
Just inside the tee on the Wilmington River, with 8' tides we get alot of debris on the outgoing tides, then I "rake the yard" with a boat pole on the incoming tide to get rid of it. Only 5 slips long so not a big walk. Closer to the outside the better for me.We are in a finger slip on a river just off the Ohio River. When we get high waters with strong current we get a bunch of debris up against the side of our boat. Not a huge issue but if you are in a river might want to think about the current. For that reason I prefer to be out on C dock parallel to the river but like was said it is nice having boats next to you to socialize with rather than staring at someones anchor while sitting in your boat.
