Registration is by appointment only by calling the Membership Office at 949-770-1313X212 between 8 am and 5 pm.

All vessels must display a current registration sticker from LMVA. Registration is free but fees apply for storage.  Please review the registration requirements before making an appointment.  Important note: proof of liability insurance must be submitted before the appointment.

Dry boat storage racks and spaces for boats on trailers may be rented by members. The storage space rental fee is $1.93 per foot per month for non-trailer storage (i.e. a 12′ rowboat would cost $23.16 per month). The fee for the upper storage lot is $2.75 per foot per month (i.e. 14′ sailboat would cost $38.50 per month). All boat storage is billed quarterly. All boats stored at the Lake must be registered and meet all Lake usage requirements.

Due to the increased risk of invasive aquatic organisms spreading through Southern California (specifically the Quagga & Zebra mussels) and the dramatic damage they could cause to Lake Mission Viejo’s ecology, all boats that use Lake Mission Viejo must adhere to guidelines as follows:

1. Inspection by Lake personnel before launching to ensure:

• Clean & dry bilge areas and live wells.
• Clean and smooth boat hulls.
• Clean and dry boat trailers.
• Current LMVA registration.
• Sufficient quarantine time

2. All boats entering the LMVA facilities without a tamper-proof tag must be quarantined for 30 days before launching. This yellow numbered tag wires the boat to the trailer to ensure that it has not been launched since the date of tagging.

3. Boats leaving the Lake are tagged with a green numbered tag in a similar fashion and provided the tag and wire are intact, the boat may be launched without quarantine. (Remember that to avoid any doubt, always see to it that even the green tagged boats are clean & dry before launch.)  Trailers used to remove boats for cleaning, maintenance or relocation must also be quarantined if used at other locations.  LMVA does not provide this service. See link below for vendors that have quarantined trailers for use on Lake Mission Viejo

Special note regarding inflatable watercraft:  Due to their unique nature, and the possibility of retaining water  (potentially introducing invasive species into the late) requirements for inflatable kayaks & SUPs are subject to review and quarantine may be required. 

Cooperation with LMVA’s boat inspection program by all boating members is essential to protecting Lake Mission Viejo.
