# What it is

A marina is a dock or area of water with piers and moorings for small boats and yachts, mostly for leisure boating [wiki-marina].

# When and how

Opening hours and rules differ from place to place. Each listed place's page gives the hours and the details its sources state.

# How a place gets on this list

Public places are listed under the [inclusion rule](/about/inclusion-rule) when they would make less sense anywhere else, and the editor rules on borderline cases; each page cites at least two sources, and the editor and the [Neighborhood Mayors](/mayors) check new places and corrections [editorial-policy].

# Listed places

0 places listed.

No places listed yet.

# On record

Little Milwaukee builds each record here from public data, such as City of Milwaukee licenses, and files it under this category. A record is not a listing: a place is listed only when it passes the inclusion rule and has its own page.

2 records on file. Full list: [Marinas on record](https://littlemilwaukee.com/places/marinas/records).
