A set-off is when a bank anticipates that a debtor is going to go into bankruptcy, and applies a debtor's deposits at the bank against outstanding loans. See 11 USC § 553.

I own a boat slip in intercostal waters. Does it fall under the jurisdiction of maritime or civil law in case of bankruptcy and can it be sold to help satisfy debts?

Bankruptcy is a set of Federal laws. YOU (not your boat, not your car, not your house) are using the Federal law by declaring bankruptcy. Your boat is personal (or perhaps business personal) property in those matters. Your house is another type of property or assset. Your savings account, yet another. Each has many sets of laws they are subject to. Even if it was a huge freighter on the high seas, in the Bankruptcy court, it is the rules of that court that hold.
