Rio Vista HOA, beam, and New River bridges
Depth
Andrews Avenue
Recommended max LOA
Rio Vista looks like a yacht neighborhood from the river and behaves like one only if the air draft is honest. HOAs here argue about lifts and crew. Andrews Avenue argues about twenty-one feet.
Typical water: 7 ft controlling depth, 21 ft at Andrews, 16 ft at SE 3rd on the way in. Typical board: older estates, lift arguments, crew parking — not Harbor Beach mega-guest traffic. A 60-foot express with a laid tower is a conversation. A 68-foot convertible with the tower up is a no. Advisory, not legal advice.
Typical planning figures and neighborhood patterns only. Not legal, tax, insurance, or survey advice. Confirm with counsel, the city, the carrier, and a surveyor before you act.
Can I back a 60-foot sportfish out of a Rio Vista finger?
Sometimes, with a bow thruster and a turning pocket. See the backing-out problem page. The bridge is still the first veto.
