In case you guys were wondering: I totally live it up in LA and live the…read moreCali-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.

I recently purchased a new vessel and contacted King Harbor Marine to secure a slip. Initially, the…read moreprocess seemed straightforward. We purchased a 25-foot boat with a 9-foot beam, so when we were shown available slips, I expressed concern about whether the boat would fit. We were given several options at the same quoted rate, and I specifically asked if we could have a backup option in case the original slip was too narrow. When the boat arrived, it became clear that the original slip would not accommodate the vessel's width, so we moved into the second slip option that had been presented to us. Everything appeared to be fine until I saw the monthly withdraw that was approximately $250 higher than the amount stated in our contract. After contacting the marina, I was informed by the manager, Jamessa E Henderson, that they had made a mistake and that the second slip actually carried a higher monthly rate. At no point was I informed of this price difference, nor was I asked to sign a revised agreement authorizing the higher charge. The marina simply began charging the increased amount without my knowledge or consent. When I explained my concerns, Janisha acknowledged the mistake and agreed that I should be reimbursed for the overcharges. However, when my deposit was returned, the promised reimbursement was not included. As a result, I have sought legal advice regarding the unauthorized charges. Beyond the billing issue, I was also disappointed by the atmosphere at the marina. The security staff frequently appeared to harass local kids who were fishing, which created an unwelcoming environment. We have since moved our boat to Port Royal and have been much happier. The facilities are nicer, the rates are lower, and the security staff are far more professional and respectful. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend King Harbor Marine.

The staff here are professional, courteous, and genuinely make you feel welcome from day one. The security team is especially outstanding. They're always friendly, happy to answer any questions, and make you feel like they truly care about the people keeping their boats here. It's clear they take safety seriously, with plenty of security cameras throughout the marina to help deter theft and give boat owners peace of mind. If you're looking for a marina that values customer service, professionalism, and security, I highly recommend Port Royal Marina. It's refreshing to see a marina that goes above and beyond for its tenants.

The harbor offers excellent views especially at sunset and some wonderful fine dining restaurants. You can simply take a walk and look at all the adorable boats, some yachts and some sea lions or you can spend the day and have a bike ride, a lovely walk, a run and a fine meal for dinner. There are many places to eat there, and most you can get to by bicycle but you cannot walk to every one of the restaurants. They are spread apart. Depending on what you feel like eating there is a great Mexican restaurant and several fish restaurants. All the required good albeit a tad pricey. The Ritz-Carlton it's located in the marina and there is also a Marriott. Both are wonderful as to the rooms, the food, and the service. One thing I really enjoy about the harbor is that it is often cooler then other areas even during the heat of the summer. Have a great time.

Each of the slips have shore power and an extra storage bin for items that you want to store there. 24 hour access makes this one a plus. 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.
