What to do when the lagoon lots are full? Well, you could either wait in line patiently for someone to pack up their beach day & leave so you can nab their stall.... Or you opt to pay $25 and get a stall at the marina. We've parked here a few times, the ease of paying via text and Apple Pay is awesome. Be sure you enter the correct license #! Pay attention to the signs as some stalls are strictly for the luau, some require a permit and then others are public (paid) stalls. This place gets packed also, especially when the free lot is full & a line has formed. Good luck! read more

The Sunset cruise was pleasant. The weather was nice with a moderate breeze. All staff on deck were very social. A couple of them happened to be from California. The vibes seemed more party like than a mellow cruise. Nonetheless, it was an awesome experience. Great music, strong drinks, small bites. To sit and watch the sunset was nothing short of stunning. It was so beautiful to catch it moment by moment. Mother Nature at work. The cruise was about two hours. read more

An Anti-Boating, Mediocre, Overpriced Marina With Attitude. They DO NOT want your business. I've used this marina several times over the years when visiting the west side of the island by boat. It's never been a cheap overnight visit because their prices have always been very high. But as a visiting boater it's always nice to pull in to a friendly marina for the night and have a nice meal out at the nearby restaurants from time to time. Historically, in the world of marinas and boating and boaters and marina staff, this symbiosis of objectives has served everyone well, world-wide. A number of years ago, Ko Olina essentially doubled the slip fee on all of their long-term monthly slip-rental clients. This emptied the marina occupancy by roughly half, so that now the marina was suddenly managing about half the boats for the original income. A shark move that Satan or a Trump family member would approve of, especially considering the limited slip availability throughout all of Hawaii. It was as though the cruelty was at least half the point. But I digress. At some point after all that, someone there decided that it's just too much bother for a marina to rent a slip for less than a month. This is a giant Fcuk You!! to the entire Hawaii and visiting boating community. They will not rent you a slip for even a night, even though they currently have several slips to rent. Even knowing that there are extremely limited moorage options throughout the islands and particularly on that section of Oahu. This coast features one ramshackle state-run marina with little to no space available, a few open roadsteads, which are highly surf and wind dependent, a total of ONE tiny ~3-4 boat capacity protected anchorage, and then there is Ko Olina Marina, previously a nice marina with some amazing (if expensive) aloha, now with their new attitude that they've somehow picked up along the way: "Fkuc You, we're a marina and we have slips and all, but pi$$ off, OK? We can't be bothered with your perfectly normal request for a slip for a night. A$$hole Awards, all around, you guys. Mahalo for nothing. read more

Asked if there was a place to tie up for the night if weather got terrible and she said no we do not take overnight guests. So I asked if it was an emergency and had to come in for the night and she acted confused and just told her to never mind. This is the second time we have stopped in here and they seriously are super rude. read more

I wish I could give zero stars. What a joke this place is. I called two days ahead of time to find out about a one night slip and never got a call back. When I did finally get a hold of them, I was rather rudely told that I needed to submit paperwork two days in advance for a simple overnight slip. What a bunch of bullshit. Don't bother. Try to avoid letting them see a dime of your money if possible. i'll give them five thumbs down rather than five stars. Update: I have been to marinas all down the California coast now. From Sausalito, to Half Moon Bay, to Santa Cruz, to Monterey, to Morro Bay, to Marina Del Rey, to Newport Beach, and now Dana Point. There isn't a place in California that isn't about 1 million times better than anywhere in Hawaii. Seriously people, take your boats out of there, stop accepting that this is OK, and stop giving them your money. Without exception, at every single place we have stopped, we have been greeted courteously and given such a far better value than you could ever hope to get in any of the Hawaii shithole marinas and I don't just mean this one. The whole place is a complete joke. As soon as possible I'm going to take the boat that I still have their out and never go back. read more

Worst run marina I've ever seen, also beware of exploiting parklinq, daily parking is $17 not $15 as noted

Now, I'm not sure if the Ko Olina Marina is good for docking boats, but it sure does have some cool tours. I took a helicopter tour which was very cool, and I am planning on swimming with the dolphins. read more

Do not depend on this marina if you make a reservation. They don't respect the concept of reservations. Imagine what a pain it is to sail for hours just to find out that they gave your slip reservation to someone else who showed up without a reservation. Then instead of apologizing, they become rude. Horrible customer service. read more

Three yachts burned in koolina this past month. Fire hoses on dock did not work correctly, resulting in a very large fire and damage to other yachts. Fire could have been contained better if hoses worked better than an abc squirt gun. Hence fire hoses didn't work at all. Tow company towing boat with a very small and undersized boat. Koolina marina needs to redo all the fire hoses to meet current fire code. Considering slip rental can be $800 to $1400 or more a month. They need to update marina to meet current building and fire codes. read more

Ko Olina Marina - Undersized boat for salvage operation. - Marinas Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Terrible business, poor customer service. Travelled all the way from Chicago to learn our adventure had been cancelled without notice or apology. Not recommended!! read more

It's a nice Marina to check out and walk up and down. Ko Olina Marina is also right next to the hotels, resorts and the Ko Olina Beach itself. read more

Was fishing in the Marina when a man on a jet ski (the "owner", allegedly) told me to leave the Marina as fishing was banned, though there were no signs or any form of formal warning. As I was packing up the owner came by twice again, each time appearing increasingly agitated, shouting at me to leave and threatening to call security. After packing I was walking back to the parking lot where I was set upon by a security guard who stated I had offended the owner and thus had to leave. I suggested the owner could be more polite and less rude but was simply told that he was very important and thus I had to leave. As I was leaving the first security guard two more came on a golf art, asking me rather confrontationally if I had a problem. I said no and left though I was still followed by guards to the exit. Overall the staff seemed angry and confrontational, while the "owner" appeared personally offended by my mistake. I was constantly harassed whilst trying to leave and was almost attacked by overly confrontational guards. I would advise staying away from the marina. Going there involves risking an altercation with the angry, rude and confrontational staff. read more
