    Orsolya D.

    In case you guys were wondering: I totally live it up in LA and live the Cali-Beach-Yacht-Celeb-VIP- Life. My life consists of bottle service, making money rain, and flashy jewelry everywhere. Okay, none of that is true (although I have my moments, actually). In reality, I have lived ten years in the black hole of the Valley and don't get out much. So when I met a guy asking me to spend the evening on a sailboat docked at King Harbor Marina; I was all, "Duh! Yes, please!" And thus began my acquaintance with King Harbor Marina. King Harbor Marina is located in Redondo Beach on Yacht Club Way in the heart of the Redondo beach community near the wharf. King Harbor Marina is a combination live/work nest meaning that it is literally a marina docking houseboats, yachts, and sailboats used for residency and/or recreation; but there are also apartment accommodations on the property. Basically, King Habor Marina is beachfront living at its finest. Swanky! You can't miss the entrance to King Harbor Marina as it has blatant signage and is beautifully nestled next to the sandy beach area. A large parking lot is available with parking passes available (temp and perm) for residents (both boats and apartments). Both the parking lot and marina are clean and well-maintained surrounded by palm trees, sand, and boats in every direction your eyes gaze. You can't help but be transported to a beach resort and you certainly forget about the smog craziness that is LA. Each boat docked in the marina is well-preserved with clean docks, all-night lighting, and locked gates to each dock with keys only given to those owning the boats and therefore ensuring security. There is a slight dirty water stench but very tolerable and there isn't trash floating around or bird poop everywhere so overall King Harbor Marina is clearly on-par with the upkeep. Accessibility to the docks and parking lot, trash bins, etc is all easy-peasy. King Harbor Marina also offers a clubhouse (also security-enforced with keys offered to paying tenants) with food, bathrooms, showers, etc. I was worried about using the restroom as I am not a fan of public toilets or showers but was delightfully surprised to find the toilets to be very clean, in top-working order, no odors, etc. It was cleaner than many inner-city business establishment rest rooms! Well done! I noticed, around 1am, that a security guard was walking around the parking lot with a flashlight checking for parking passes in cars so King Harbor Marina doesn't joke around with safety or making sure only those individuals are around who are supposed to be. 1am also marked the prime time for seal barking! These water dogs are LOUD and party it up barking at night! I loved it being an animal-lover but this may be an annoyance to some people. Don't forget to take a walk on the actual beach. The sandy stretch provides a rock jetty with beautiful sunsets perfect for moments of solitude. However, there weren't really any sea shells and on the contrary I saw trash and a dead sea gull so perhaps not the best of the best beaches in LA. Although, I don't personally lease at King Harbor so I can't vouch for the inner-workings of paying rent; my experience with the marina, clubhouse, etc was satisfactory. The property is safe, well-maintained, and nice on the eyes. Definitely check out King Harbor if you have the opportunity to live it up, Cali yacht-style.

    Bought my first Sailboat, 27' Catalina, and brought her up from Dana Point. The dock is in great condition, the facilities were always clean and the staff were great to work with. It's a no drama dock and when I traded up to a 30' boat they didn't have slips so I had to move to Pedro. I got all my deposits back with out hassle. I would have given it 5 stars but the only drawback is the parking lot next to the breakwall can get packed and late at night it can get a little iffy. More than once I found needles in the lot but there was security and my truck was never messed with. I'd still be there if they had a 30' open.

    On Sunday May 31, 09 there was a Sea Fair Boating Safety and Open House at the King Harbor Yacht Club (I posted it on yelp events but none of you losers came http://www.yelp.com/events/redondo-beach-sea-fair-boating-safety-and-open-house ) It was mostly booths about boating safety, the different clubs within the yacht club such as sailing, multi-hull and power boats (sorry if I got the exact names wrong). But...they had a BBQ with FREE tri tip sandwiches and free jello shots too...what a bad time to not eat meat http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/3MKQLhmTLfkhDZg_ijHlVQ?select=HKMFEnQ2q0Is3VNEDyaCVw They have this fair every year and the most exciting part was the Coast Guard Helicopter doing a Rescue Demonstration in the harbor http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/3MKQLhmTLfkhDZg_ijHlVQ?select=qMlE34Ib3zrZyak8Ax4ZAQ

    King Harbor, a fun, clean marina for your boat.

    *** BEWARE!! *** They don't deserve your business!!…read more AVOID this marina (and all marinas operated by California Yacht Marinas) if you are looking for a slip as they treat slip tenants like trailer trash and you won't believe how egregious their slip agreement is!! The Mayor and the City of Redondo Beach fully supports their overreaching and abusive Wharfage agreement. The CEO justifies their abusive agreement because some marina's in San Diego have similar language. I have lived in Hermosa Beach for over 25 years, owned boats for the last 20 years and have been waiting for the opportunity to get a slip in Redondo Beach for over 10 years and yet I had to walk away from this company because they represent the BASOLUTE WORST of the marina industry and their attitude towards their tenants is simply terrible!! Once I was approved on Sept 19th, I was told that I had to start paying for their slip on Oct 1st or lose it to the next in line. When I politely asked for consideration, they declined outright and made it blatantly clear that they view their tenants with utter contempt and disrespect. The callous disregard they displayed in requiring me pay for the slip from October 1st, despite knowing I'm obligated to give 30 days' notice at my current marina, speaks volumes. I'm very thankful that they laid bare their utter disdain for their tenants before I entered into their unbelievably egregious, 17 page Wharfage agreement that strips away even the most basic right of exclusive use of the slip that I would be paying them for!! It requires that I must notify them when my vessel will be out of the slip for more than 3 days so that they can re-rent it to a 3rd party without my consent or compensation and then require that I provide a 48 hours advance notice before returning to ensure that I can actually dock my boat in the slip that I am paying for!! They also have an egregiously prejudicial dispute resolution; they require a mediator to also be the arbiter for any subsequent binding arbitration due to a failed mediation. This ensures a 100% prejudicial outcome in their favor. Over the last 20+ years, I have berthed boats in 6 different SoCal marinas. 4 private, 1 county and now 1 city marina in 2 different SoCal counties. I can tell you for a fact that NOT ONE of any of the marinas that I have berthed a boat in the last 20+ years, including my current marina has or had any language even remotely close to the non-exclusive language in their agreement or the highly prejudicial dispute resolution!! Their staff assumes that a potential applicant will sign and do anything to win approval even if it means being forced to pay for 2 slips at once. The attitude shown to me during the application process made it very clear that they feel well empowered to subjugate tenants from the start. If I were to become a tenant, I would need to tread on eggshells over fear that I could be evicted on a whim because I complained about something, asked the wrong question or someone doesn't like the tone of my voice.

    I've had my boat in this marina for three years, it is clean, well kept, secure and extremely…read moreconvenient; you are literally a few minutes from open ocean, restaurants, LAX, Redondo Beach pier and a host of other amenities. The office staff I've dealt with; Maureen and Sharon are friendly, professional and helpful. The jack of all trades, who's name I never got unfortunately, is constantly walking the docks, tidying up tripping hazards and looking out for everyone's boats. During a particularly windy storm (55 knot winds) a few boats had their jibs come unfurled, four of us wrestled with the sails of some of the absent owner's boats and mitigated the damage. It was good to see the marina staff and boaters come together when needed. I've left the marina headed out cruising, but highly recommend Port Royal Marina (and the other CYM marinas I've been to). The only reason I gave four stars out of five is the recent addition of the Shade restaurant nearby. It is a loud and obnoxious blight on the previously quiet waterfront. Try to find a slip as far away as possible, several members have moved their boats to other slips for this very reason. It's unfortunate and not the marinas fault, but I thought I should make mention, as it definitely is an issue.

Jackie who runs the Marina is absolutely the best, total pro with any issues and proactively looking after tenants. Makes a big difference when the leadership are major voters themselves!

    Beware of Marina Del Rey Marina - Overpriced, Poorly Managed & Hostile to Tenants!…read more If I could give zero stars, I would. Marina del Rey Marina is hands down the worst marina in the area--and here's why: 1. Overpriced & Unjustified Fees - I was paying over $2,000 a month (plus electricity!) for what? To be constantly watched on security cameras and harassed by maintenance, security, and staff. 2. Not Pet Friendly (Despite Other Tenants Having Pets!) - I was singled out and discriminated against for having two cats, despite the fact that many other boaters have pets. I was a paying liveaboard tenant yet was constantly harassed--why only me? Jackie Z, the so-called "Harbor Master," is rude, discriminatory, and completely unprofessional, running the staff like her personal army while making life miserable for tenants. 3. Run by a Greedy Corporate Giant - Since being bought by Suntex, this marina has gone downhill fast. Suntex is a massive LLC that cares only about profits, snapping up marinas and ignoring tenant needs. 4. False Promises & Poor Amenities - Management talked for over a year about installing a laundromat--but instead, they put in an overpriced $1/gallon water refill machine. Meanwhile, they waste money on golf carts instead of actual necessities for tenants. 5. Sewage Stench & Rats - In the summer, the marina reeks of sewage because they built a shopping center on top of a sewage area. At night, rats run freely around the docks--a truly disgusting and unsanitary experience. 6. Suspiciously Empty Slips - Out of all the marinas in Marina del Rey, this one is noticeably partially empty. My guess? They're holding slips for the 2028 Olympics, planning to price-gouge boaters when the time comes. Bottom Line? STAY AWAY. This marina is run like a prison, with cameras everywhere, constant complaints via email, and management that does not care about its tenants. Unless they fire the current management and actually prioritize tenant needs, this marina will continue to be a hostile, overpriced nightmare. If you're considering docking here, go see for yourself why this is the only marina in Marina del Rey that's half-empty--and then take your business elsewhere.

I can get to my boat anytime and any day of the week without problems. All of the people I have met on my dock are friendly and courteous. The staff that cleans the docks are friendly too. There are monthly wine and cheese tastings and they are open to anyone that I chose to bring with me. I highly recommend this marina to anyone who wants a safe place for their boat as I have found for mine.
