It's about a mile and a half from the beginning of the parking lot to the end and back. There are bathrooms at Andy's as well at the beginning of the trailhead. The trail is along the water and you can see Mount Tam, the Richmond Bridge, and the East Bay in the distance as well as East and West Marin Island which are close in distance. Many birds like herons flock to this area. It's great for a stop to walk around if on a drive through China Camp.

Some marinas are well-managed. Loch Lomond is not one of them…read more The location is charming--the weather's usually pleasant, the views are lovely, and Andy's Market next door is a gem. But none of that makes up for the absolute disaster that is this marina's management. Power at the slips is unreliable--often dipping as low as 206 volts on a 50-amp pedestal, well below safe standards for sensitive equipment. Report basic maintenance issues, like leaky spigots, and you'll be met with silence. Maybe it's a revolutionary self-cleaning dock feature that I'm not privy to. Far more troubling, though, is the culture of selective rule-making and enforcement. Pat, the harbormaster, zips up and down the dock on a scooter, seemingly deciding who gets harassed and who gets a pass. Christine splits her time between marina duties and bartending at the yacht club, bringing inconsistency and attitude to both. In fact, the dysfunction here is so pronounced that it made headlines. A Marin Independent Journal article from 2013 (with several follow-up updates) details a surreal incident in which a marina regular bit off Pat's finger during a dispute in the vacant lot next door (now occupied by the housing development known as "The Strand"). The man had been building a catamaran out of Home Depot parts--destined for Hawaii. Sounds unbelievable--until you've spent time here. Then it just feels like another day at Loch Lomond. I briefly served as the entertainment director for the yacht club, and while the members were gracious and welcoming, their warmth couldn't compensate for the mismanagement that defines the harbor itself. Avoid--unless you're nostalgic for chaos.

So when we upgraded to a bigger boat, it was relatively easy to sell our old slip and move to a larger one. An even better bonus was finding out that this marina is better protected from the wind. We love going to our boat now and just hanging out at the dock for lovely sunsets and cocktails! They also have a pool and 3 tennis courts.

In addition to the Marina there is a pool, 3 tennis courts also lined to pickle ball and a world class chef providing excellent dinners on the weekends.

The bar has a epic view of the Bay and canal. The bartender Laurel is a real mixologist. It has become our home away from home. We are so glad we joined. Love it here!

Sheriff's Dept. keep its boats there and maybe that's why nobody has stolen as much as a winch handle even when I forget to lock up all winter. I have a 32" but I've seen yachts much larger and smaller (including a couple kayaks tied up on B-dock). Easy parking, clean bathrooms, fresh water and reliable shore power at every slip. Views of Bay Bridge, SF, Tiburon/Belvedere and Mt. Tam. Been there a few years and don't have a single complaint. Love that you can auto-pay rent on a credit or debit card w/o a fee. Richard bay marina is the place for me.

I went to the restaurant and left…read more But this time, I took a chance to look around and marveled at all of the funky wood and metal treasures surrounding what would otherwise be a barren wasteland. The funkiness of the creative touches were cool. It was nice and sunny and there was a slight breeze. There were tables to sit, an unmanned cart for food, and the stage. I find it interesting that all of that was there because until I came to another restaurant in the area, I didn't know that this area existed. Now driving there is a beast because the roads are littered with potholes and there are areas where there is essentially one lane to drive, so you have to be very, very careful. But this spot, once you get to it, is it worth it? Maybe, it depends on what's going on. I'd love for them to have a bit more going on, but I respect the fact that it is so far out of the way that it may be a bit difficult. The marina down there is quite small and there's no way to tell how much business would come by that. So, this wouldn't be a destination like Berkeley or Richmond Marina's where they have options if you want to eat, but it's cute and funky and with the restaurant they have in the area, it's not a waste of time.

He is very friendly in nature and his conduct was very professional throughout. I was very impressed with his depth of knowledge and seamanship throughout the entire voyage.   Having gone from a 23ft Compac to a 40ft Caliber was a big jump for us and Arstein was very patient as he taught us the ins and outs, from bow to stern, of our new sailboat. During the trip he taught me about different aspects of the boat including the engine and preventive maintenance.  He even stayed an additional 3 days to give us private instruction on docking and close-quarter maneuvering.   Lastly, the final report he sent us was incredibly thorough, providing us with detailed information about the sailboat and motor including findings and recommendations. The photos of the trip that he added were a great touch. I would highly recommend Mustad Marine for any boat delivery.

But Frank and Sue have created an environment that I love. I can afford to be anywhere with my three boats but I prefer Liberty Ship. An amazing location as the previous reviewer stated. And an equally amazing and interesting cast of very authentic characters. In a good way, it reminds me very much of Steinbeck's "Cannery Row". Many of the remnants of the building of the Liberty Ships are evident, so it is like living in a piece of history. Being a Bostonian, I value that greatly. I hope it never changes. I feel very lucky to have found this great facility. Everyone is friendly, helpful and courteous and the rates are by far the most reasonable in Sausalito.

Wow... This is the first time I've ever had such a bad experience I've been inspired to write a bad…read morereview. The staff here are incredibly unpleasant and they have policies that are nearly impossible to comply with. I bought a boat in this marina and before they would give me access they require I show them proof of ownership. I've never heard of this requirement before and I should have known what was coming. If you make an appointment with the DMV so you don't have to lose a work day it takes a month to get your new registration. Here is the rub, you only have 30 days from the day your boat is sold to vacate the marina. So you buy the boat, you are not allowed access to it for nearly a month and then you have to immediately leave. This really killed me because I bought an old boat that had been sitting for a long time. So somehow I was supposed to make is seaworthy to leave without access to it. I was going to try to keep it in the marina a couple months to get it in good shape but they told me the wait list was full. Every time I tried to talk to them about the situation they kept telling me "I've made the policy clear!" and "I hate when people ask me to break policy!" The marina was mediocre to begin with but the staff made it my worst marina/boating community experience I've ever had. I highly recommend avoiding this place.

Brickyard Cove beat them all out. it's nice to have the little town of Point Richmond nearby to catch dinner or pick up some supplies. we also like to have breakfast at All's Fare, the local diner at the dock. but, hands-down, the greatest thing about this place is how fast we can get out onto the bay and get the sails up. it takes just minutes! the only thing i would like to see is free wifi. they had something set up but apparently it's not worked out well and they're changing over to something else, but it's sure taking awhile for it to get set up. other than that, we love this marina!

You don't need a boat to join, and there's no need: you will be readily invited on all types of sailing and yachting adventures with other members who do have one.
