7 Guest Boats A guest boat is any occupied boat or houseboat at the Island with no member aboard. This includes a non-present member s boat occupied by their adult child. Sail or power (at the dock) Sail or power boats (on a mooring) $85/day $32/day Houseboat Rental (Reserve Early) Members who do not have a boat or whose boat is not suitable for overnight use at the Island are encouraged to look into renting a houseboat and bringing it to the Island. These boats are roomy, comfortable and easy to handle. Some marinas will deliver the houseboat to the Island and pick it up afterward. There are some marinas that also rent small boats for fishing or water skiing. This is an excellent way to use the Island for a family or several couples. The following is the only houseboat rental company that we know of. There are others, and a search through the Lodi and Stockton telephone books should give you additional companies to contact. We include this company for your assistance only and make no recommendations with regard to the company listed, except MAKE RESERVATIONS EARLY. This is a very popular way to enjoy the Delta. Paradise Point Houseboat Rentals is about four miles east of Herman & Helen s Marina. They have large houseboats but they expect you to pick up and return them to their marina. Paradise Point is located just south of Eight Mile Road at the first bridge after leaving Interstate 5. Telephone Tinsley Island Snack Bar and Bar There is a snack bar located at the Lanai Bar that operates June 1 through September 30. You should provision for your weekday meals and weekend meals except during hosted weekends. Tinsley Island Snack Bar Hours: Friday: 11:00am 12:00 midnight Saturday: 8:30am 12:00 midnight Sunday: 8:30am 4:00pm Tinsley Island Toilers There is a volunteer group of interested members (and non-members) called the Tinsley Island Toilers, who get together several times during the spring and summer to work on the Island. This group has been responsible for constructing many of the facilities on the Island. In addition, those interested in helping, but who don t have the time to participate in the work parties, participate as Toiler Benefactors and make contributions in the form of money, materials, furniture and equipment.

8 Those participating in all or part of a Toiler Weekend receive transportation to the Island from King Island, all meals, and lodging in the bunkhouse, or 50% off in the lighthouse. For those who have their own boats at the Island, the docking and other Island fees are waived for the weekend. And both Friday and Saturday evenings include an informal cocktail party and camaraderie. The Toilers generally work a little Friday evening, a full day Saturday and try to finish up fairly early Sunday afternoon. Even though they schedule a full weekend, they welcome any time you can spare. Construction skills are nice but not required. Any willing hand is appreciated. This is an enjoyable way to meet other members and become acquainted with the Island. Anyone interested in participating should look for the Toiler Questionnaire, which is mailed out in the spring, or contact Milt Werner at , miltwerner@aol.com, or Ed Igoe at , ewigoe@yahoo.com. Emergency Communications If you need to get an emergency message to someone at Tinsley Island you should call the Island manager at and leave a message for the Island Manager to pass on the following day. Special Notices The speed limit is 5 MPH when within 200 feet of a vessel at a dock. In addition, a boater is always responsible for their wake, regardless of distance. Please be considerate of members using the Club moorings or who are anchored in that area of the slough by controlling your wake. Members, staff and others use the small, Little Venice Yacht Club dock, across the San Joaquin River near Light 11.
