Bunks are always reserved first for dues-paying members and active sailors.

Members take priority, but Saltmarsh’s hall is rarely at full capacity except during major storms.
Mariner’s Dues
Cost: 10 sp per month or 100 sp for the year.
Membership includes:
Five free nights per month (bed + meal).
Additional nights: 1 sp each

Access to jobs and guild privileges
Location
The path leads you to a wide, single-story wooden hall, its weathered timbers sun-bleached and sea-worn yet carefully maintained. In front of the entrance stands an old ship’s wheel mounted on a stone base, the sign that this is the official Mariners’ Guildhall.
Above the front door, a carved wooden relief of crossed anchors and a ship’s wheel, the emblem of Saltmarsh’s seafaring life. The grounds around the entrance are tidy and ropes along the walkway. The building shows its age, but it well maintained like one would expect aboard a ship.
