Pretty pretty. We…read moreloved walking around here after an early dinner. It was just beautiful and all lit up for the holidays. Definitely worth a trip to Long Beach if you don't live in the area - they really do it up for the holidays and you can make a fun evening of it. A perfect end to date night. Well... ok. Maybe not the end but you know...

This small harbor area is a very convenient location and easily accessible by the walking path to…read morerestaurants, Shoreline Village, The Aquarium, and to the lighthouse. You will also find the loading area for the water taxi (dock 4)and Harbor Cruises (dock 3), and Dockside Boat and Bed (dock 5). The walking path is a wide area shared with walkers, bikes, scooters, dogs and their owners on a walk. And yes, some homeless too. There are many restaurants and you pass the aquarium. The walking area is well maintained and makes for a very peaceful morning walk. Today we took a morning walk to the lighthouse. The lighthouse in itself is not much to see, but the walk to and from is worth it! At the lighthouse you get a 360 view of the area. Sadly, there was a lot of trash, I assume from people who were there the night before. City workers were busy cleaning up the walking path and they will probably make their way to clean up the trash at the lighthouse. We parked in the lot by PF Changs-it's about $26. There is a public parking lot across the bay from PF Changs that's less expensive. We lived this new to us experience!

This marina seems to be one of the better ones for the area. With my slip fees here, I also have…read moreaccess to other marinas in So Cal at no additional cost. There is a security access to get into the parking lot as well as a coded key to get to my boat. The restrooms are awesome. They are clean and well stocked. There are showers with hot water......(Some only have cold in other marinas). The restrooms are clean and neat. The docks have 24 hour manned security that watch the parking lot and the boats. 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.

I've gone other places in…read moreSouthern California (and probably will again), but Yacht Haven is always the place I come back to. Facilities are decent, the staff is caring, and the rates are affordable. If you are looking for a posh place to keep your boat, or a better location, you'll go elsewhere and that is fine. But Yacht Haven is an honest, friendly, family run place that I can always count on to be there. Sure, there are nicer places. There are cheaper places. There are places in better locations. I just find Yacht Haven to be a good mix of enough details to keep me coming back.

Having grown up here it brings back so many childhood memories. The early morning gathering with…read morefamily and friends for the Fourth of July. Trying to save a spot before the mad rush with people. Summers afternoon all day on the beach frolicking around enjoy the water. When you're young, you don't care what the water was like. The hours of bike rides along the path from the pier to the marina, shoreline village and back to Belmont shores. This place is one of those that just makes you smile reminding you of your childhood. I still come down whenever I'm in town to have a walk along the waterfront. Checking out the boats all lines up in the docks. The view of the Queen Mary docked permanently along the water. People watching and of course the sunsets. It's a place for all that and then some. It's a local hotspot for bike rides, exercise, and dates. Also a hotspot for the tourist enjoying Long Beach. A nostalgic experience each and every time. A nice place for just doing nothing.

Beautiful, busy marina. If it weren't for the trash floating around daily and homeless lurking…read morearound at night, this place would be ideal. Shoreline Village has so many restaurants to enjoy, nearby mall, Farris wheel, a wonderful aquarium, and so much more. Restrooms are clean, and trash bins could be emptied more often since this marina is run by the city. Maybe less homeless would pick through it. We won't be returning due to the garbage in the SEA, which can get caught in a boat prop; then who's responsible? We were very disappointed there isn't a service boat that cleans it up for boat residents and tourists, an embarrassment for the city of Long Beach, I'd say.

I needed to change my dripless while the boat was going to be out for bottom paint. I was told that I had two options. 1. Paying something like $500 to come in on the weekend or have their mechanic do the work at $160/hr +-. Either way it was a lose/lose situation. I really miss being down in San Diego.

If you're just having the bottom paint done it's worth it. They do a pretty good job for that but I…read morecan't really recommend them for other work. Mike and Shannon are great but I don't think their boat mechanics are up to par yet and the yard is very crowded and they don't seem to take much time or concern about tying your boat up carefully. I of course, had a huge scuff mark on the side from rubbing against something for a couple days while they attempted to put in a relay for my starter. I'm pretty sure they wired it wrong then jacked up my starter which I then had to pay to have rebuilt. After all that now my VHF radio doesn't work. Very frustrating.

Dock is very dangerous, nails are always sticking out and the docks are falling apart, completely unacceptable this is such a hazardous danger.
