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.

As a member you can enjoy other like minded individuals and join in on weekly festivities they have planned and invite your friends to come and enjoy the view and use the facilities such as the bar which has some low cost prices. You can play some pool, table tennis and Foosball in one area. In another section is the bar and several tables to sit and enjoy each other's company and an outdoor area on the deck to enjoy the boats and scenery. At nighttime the deck area has a gas fire pit in the corner and heat lamps for your enjoyment outside. Currently they are celebrating their 60 year's anniversary of their establishment. It costs roughly $234 per quarter to be a member and you get to enjoy many activities and make new friends.

He was okay on the phone on the initial inquiry, gave a couple of one word answers to messages we sent him like asking if he'd received our email, and then nothing. We live 400 miles away and the asking price was $38k, so maybe he just figured we weren't likely buyers or it wasn't worth the effort for a smaller commission. Someone is really hoping to sell that boat and Steve would be taking a commission and has contracted to try to sell this boat and is apparently not wanting to do any actual work to do so. I think this is lazy at best and violation of contract in actual fact. Someone is paying slip fees while this boat goes unsold and we've moved on to another boat.
