We just got a slip at this marina. My boyfriend had been over here prior to Sage Harbor taking it over and he's so impressed with all of the upgrades and improvements. Debbie and Nancy in the office are absolutely fantastic! They were so helpful with all our paperwork and instantly made us feel welcome! The people at the deli are absolutely the nicest people I've met in a long while! They made my little girl's day by giving her a lollipop while we waited for our food and they were all just so kind and helpful. Very happy our family is here at this marina with our boat! read more

We love our marina! My wife and I live here with our daughter and we believe it's the best marina in San Diego! The staff, the events, the facilities, are all top notch! read more

I called them for help with my mom. The woman that answered the phone couldn't answer many questions. She said someone would call me back. That was 4 weeks ago... read more

The manager who lives on site Debbie is as annoying as anybody can get. She gets in everybody's business who owns boat in slip there. Last thing a boater wants in the manager getting in your business. I had two boats there and decided to move them due to Debbie. No idea how she got a job as the head of a marina, she knows nothing about boats lol. Up down left right port starboard. As soon as she leaves the marina will be a better place, no question about it. read more

Cabrillo Isle Mariana is on Harbor Island near the Sheraton Hotel. The marina is gated to help keep parking for residents only and increase safety. There is a wide access for pedestrians between the parking lot and the marina. The docks are gated preventing non-residents access to the docks. The staff are professional and, yet,extremely nice, giving the marina have a warm, friendly feeling. They really go out of their way for you. They have nice comfy chairs, sailing magazines and important pamphlets on boating and safety. They also have a book of local boat maintenance and related workers. The docks are concrete with large fairways between making access easy. Each slip has a nice dock box and pedestal with water and electricity. I definitely recommend Cabrillo Isle Marina. It would be a great place to keep your boat. read more

See all

Amazing time! Came here for my friends birthday party and had an great experience. Clean boat, drinks on deck, and cool staff. read more

Debbie the manager was so accommodating to me with all my questions and concerns. A nice deli right on the premises that even serves cold beer on the patio! A real jewel in Safe Harbor Marinas many marinas. read more

Worst marina I have ever visited. I used boats out of this marina roughly 20 times in the last 6 months. So called "Dock master" middle aged female with bright PURPLE hair is definitely strung out on drugs. Most unprofessional paid employee I have ever met screaming at visitors to the dock while dropping her Marijuana vape pen. Is it legal to use MJ on the job as a dock master??? Highly recommend having her tested due to extremely erratic behavior while on the job. Limited interactions with the other marina staff included being scolded for placing trash in a trash receptacle??? Extremely rude and unprofessional. We had $2500 worth of fishing equipment stolen from inside this locked dock earlier this year with ZERO effort from dock staff to recover stolen items. Parking is frequently not available and very expensive. Very disturbing to have the person in charge of docks with millions of dollars of boats to be working high as a kite! read more

Our general manager Debbie is as professional as they come! I read a review that she is definitely strung out on drugs! That's the most absurd accusation I've ever heard! This guy obviously is an idiot .clearly he has nothing better to do than pass judgment on people because he is such a looser himself and it's the only way he can feel better about himself. Oh read more

I've been a member at this Marina for the last three years and have always been treated as if I owned a Mega Yacht. The maintenance guys are very hard working and diligent in repairs and improvements to the entire property, all the while keeping the marina extremely clean. The staff in the office is incredible! Always courteous & friendly with everyone. I once forgot my wallet in my vehicle and was boarding a plane, luckily I had my passport. I gave Debbie my door code and she overnighted it to me the next day. No Charge! This is one example of several instances I've needed help with while being out of town. I can honestly say the last three years have been the best years of my life. M.R.D. read more

Being new to the marina world I am happy to have chosen Cabrillo Isle Marina. I have been in slip for 2 years now. When I purchased my boat it was slipped here but my plan was to move closer to home. I just could not do it. The facilities are well kept, slip neighbors great, activities and use of neiboring facilities have been fun for the family. Staff is always friendly and response to meet my needs have been fantastic. I am not much of a Yepper but wanted give give them a Thumbs Up! GT read more

This review is long overdue. It's been over a year since we moved our boat from a not so friendly marina in Shelter Island and we are so glad we did. This is the best marina in San Diego!! Location is everything, easily accessible, secured parking and locked gates around the docks. We love the management & staff. Debbie, Sharron and the staff make the experience awesome. They are all helpful, friendly and very accommodating. And as a bonus, they host some amazing events as an appreciation to there members. They really do care about you and your boat. We highly recommend you keep your vessel here. read more

This marina is ship shape. It is very clean, quiet, and run by professionals. The showers and restrooms are always clean and are checked by security often especially in the evenings. The entire facility is under surveillance by great security guards who take their jobs seriously. The garden crew keep the place looking fabulous. They also wash and scrub the docks to keep those clean. The docks here are solid as a rock and appear to have been recently built to the highest standard available. I love that the end of docks have trash collection and recycling containers. This is above and beyond what most marina's offer. The manager Ms. Lutz, provides clear & consistent boundaries for her tenants. She is well respected for doing an outstanding job as marina manager. The on site deli owners greet you with smiles and treat you like royalty. I look forward to returning often. I highly recommend this marina for all of your boating needs. Annie M. read more

The staff is unhelpful. They change the conditions of their contract, there is no parking for visitors and the new manager is dismissive.

Marina billed me for two slips when I only had one boat. The manager makes you feel unwelcome when you are visiting your boat. There is no guest parking and you are encouraged to not use the two parking permits that you are issued. Not the type of service that you would expect from what is possibly the most expensive marina in town. read more

Had to write a review do to the fact that this day and age professionalism is hard to come by. Moved to this marina from Dana Point. Every time I come to the office I'm greeted by either Debbie Davis , Sharon or other staff. Sincere heart warming welcomes. Debbie Davis has certainly instituted to her employees a attitude of " whatever we can do for you we will" Thank you all for being who you are. Larry Reiner read more

Just moved in and the team and facility is great! Very happy home for our new (to us) Sailboat.

This marina is absolutely beautiful! My partner and I went into the marina office to inquire about a slip for our newly purchased Catalina sailboat and spoke with a gal named Debbi she was very professional and seems very knowledgeable about the boating community. I am very excited to start my new membership May 1st. Thanks again ladies in the office!! read more

Debbie, Sharron, Celine and Jeffrey are hands-down wonderful to interact with. The entire complex is well managed, clean, and up-to-date. We are not new to either boating or marinas, and Cabrillo Isle is in the top two percent with us (difficult to compete with Paradise Island, Bahamas LOL!). Seriously, we love this marina and we feel like valued family members in this unique community. Thank you for helping all of us create a lifetime of great memories ! Steve & Deb read more

Well I have stayed at this marina as a working professional that travels a great deal for over nine years and the support, services and is best in the industry. The below comment by Scott D is not what I have experienced. The day to day staff is super solid, access to the city and airport is a super plus and no other marina in San Diego has clean spaces which I desire. read more

We were absolutely wowed by the service and cleanliness of this marina (unlike other San Diego marinas we have visited). If you have a chance to moor your boat here, don't pass it up! read more

Great job by Captain Chris , Greg and Tianna to make our twin 16 year old boys surprise birthday with their friends a huge success! We chartered a 60' Hatteras for a 4 hour cruise plus swimming in San Diego Bay and it was a huge hit! Boys had a great time and Capt Chris and crew helped with the surprise element . Very professional and safety conscious crew ! We will charter again soon! read more

spent the day at this marina! What a glorious spot! The boats, the birds, the bells.....hourly tolling that just adds to the ambiance....the deli is very friendly and the food is delicious! Sunset is wonderful! read more

I can't say enough good things about the management and office staff here at this marina. I am new to the area and new to boat ownership and I took time to visit every marina from downtown to Mission Bay, there is absolutely no question that the office staff here was the friendliest and most helpful. I've had curve balls and obstacles thrown at me from every direction and felt about ready to leave San Diego but then I walked in to the office at Cabrillo. I was greeted by Lindsey, the sweetest person ever, she had me complete the application and we worked together to have a complete package of everything needed to turn into Sharron Bolden. I had purchased a boat and needed a slip as soon as possible, and Sharron went above and beyond to find me a slip by the next morning! Then, one more curve ball...it turns out the information on my survey had the width wrong so my 40' boat didn't fit in the slip I was originally assigned, but Sharron called me right away and was able to put me in a 45' until a wider 40' opens up. Also, hats off to Lindsey as well, without her help, kindness and friendly advice, I may not have even had the chance to meet Sharron. I just can't thank you girls enough, seriously! It has been refreshing to find a marina staff that understands this is the hospitality industry and customers should be treated accordingly. I'm also already over the moon thrilled with the best neighbors ever! I am so happy to be here! Thank you Sharron and Lindsey for helping me realize my dream. read more

We have been at the Marina now for six months. The complete staff is helpful and keeps the Marina in perfect shape. It is so nice to always see the improvements and projects to beautify Cabrillo. Deb and her staff are the best and together they make this Marina what is. A oasis in San Diego. Great job by all read more

The guys in the front office are rude and condescending. No parking validation for vendors.

It is with gratitude to Kate Pearson of Safe Harbors and Debbie Davis at Cabrillo Isle Marina that I wish to express my sincere thanks and appreciation for their attention to our needs aboard the MV Check Out Time. We were on a mission to return to San Diego from our round trip experience to the Caribbean. Slip space was difficult to secure and Kate came through for us with a slip at Cabrillo Isle Marina. We were well received upon our arrival and every effort was made to see that we had adequate 100 amp service and were comfortable with the end tie arrangement. All staff and dockside personnel were up and running daily and the Marina was always tidy and well organized. The Deli was an awesome bonus and their attentive service and fine product are much appreciated. As a professional Captain I highly recommend Cabrillo Isle Marina to all looking for secure moorage and attentive staff. Best to all, Captain H Gibson Laws read more
