Key Fob Test

Obtaining and using a Marina key fob is a privilege extended to BRCC by the City of Berkeley.

The key fob gives access to M Dock and the associated restroom. We have found out that access to M Dock isn’t 24 hours and has a curfew so the tenants can have some privacy.

Key fob holders are responsible for their actions which can be tracked via data generated by the fob. Your key fob is not transferable.

To obtain a key fob, BRCC members must pass the following test. This ensures that key fob holders are versed in all BRCC safety protocols and procedures in relation to all vessels and equipment in and around M Dock.

When a member passes the test, the BRCC Membership Director will notify the member to make arrangements for key fob distribution, pick up, and a non-refundable fee of $15 at the Berkeley Harbor Master’s Office.

Here are some helpful resources for passing the test:
