The Grand Marina ain't so "grand" when it comes to adhering to federal moratoriums on evictions,…read morefollowing local law or just having any all-around common decency, so be sure to get everything in writing beforehand when dealing with these people. Because they apparently are "above the law," at least in Alameda and these are the facts: October 2019 - My partner and I purchased an 88' yacht for $350,000 that was already berthed at the Grand Marina - a live aboard vessel which also apparently doubled as a "turn-key" Airbnb business, and were subsequently charged or taxed a $400 per room surcharge by the Grand Marina, as per our written and signed contract. December 2019 - The United States Coast Guard investigator Paul Taylor boarded our vessel and notified us that we were in violation of federal law because we were not allowed to rent out individual rooms aboard our vessel. When we showed him the written contract/agreement that we had with the Harbormaster, he informed us that this contract was illegal, and that he was going to inform Chris, once again - that such practices are not legal within US Coast Guard guidelines. January 2020 - The Harbormaster and his lead muscle, aka the Janitorial Supervisor, begin and outright campaign of terror and harassment in an attempt to get us to voluntarily leave the marina for "throwing them under the bus" according to the janitor. Because they had no legitimate grounds for eviction, they began with hostilities and harassment, which have been documented with the Alameda PD. February 2020 - The Grand Marina harbormaster "encourages" me to host an upcoming event for the Alameda PD aboard my vessel on March 15, while making it abundantly clear that by doing so and "comping" the event, any possible future eviction proceedings can be avoided. Something smells fishy at the Grand Marina and it ain't the malfunctioning pump-out station. I protested, Chris got offended, and Ray began his assault. The power and water supply to our vessel was illegally shut off by the janitor Ray, only to subsequently be returned to operation by the Alameda Fire Department because they didn't want an environmental "hazmat situation," and Ray subsequently made a direct threat to me, by telling me to "watch your back" which has been documented by the Alameda PD. March 2020 - Covid-19 Pandemic moratorium on evictions issued. The Grand Marina then constructs an illegal 10 foot barrier, thus prohibiting access to our vessel in an obvious attempt to force us to voluntarily leave the marina. When I filed a complaint with the Alameda building department, as well as the Alameda Police Department, I was informed that because the marina is "private property"'(even though it's actually leased from the state) that it was a "civil matter," meaning that I had no immediate recourse. This subsequently turned out to be "fake news," just like the Harbormaster's claim that he "owned" the marina, thus affording him full autonomy on federally jurisdicted coastal lands. Trump said "BUID THE WALL" and Chris obeyed with the construction of a non-permitted and haphazardly conceived barrier. And because of this illegally constructed barrier, I was forced to access my vessel, in order to dewater and maintain it, through alternative means. I was forced to purchase a kayak, so as to access my vessel via federal water ways, so as not to touch or "trespass" on the personally owned property of the Grand Marina, and in doing so subsequently suffered an accident when my canoe capsized in strong winds and currents, and Iwas taken to Alameda General Hospital for Apoxia after I almost drowned saving my dog. This is all documented with Alameda PD, Alameda FD as well as Alameda General Hospital. May 2020 - Our vessel is stolen - broad daylight - and transported to the Delta Bay Marina in Isleton, CA, where it was subsequently looted and stripped bare of all of our personal belongings in excess of $130,000. Look at my other reviews for for the details. When we reported this theft to the Alameda PD and the United States Coast Guard, they were advised by the Grand Marina that we had in fact takien the vessel ourselves, and that it had not been stolen. It turns out there is much more than meets the eye here and I will leave that for the justice system to determine, bucriminal investigation is underway and it's a good thing that Grand Marina has insurance. The state of California should also investigate and reconsider their partnership with this not so Grand Marina. UPDATE: We have since provided documentation to the Alameda Police Department confirming that our vessel was in fact STOLEN, and paid for in full. Please find attached a copy of the current proof of OWNERSHIP from the California DMV. We are also the recognized owners as per the NATIONAL VESSEL DOCUMENTATION CENTER/UNITED STATES COAST GUARD.

Quiet and with an easy pace describes it best in the spring, with little to no interaction at all with others at this marina. Its a decent marina, with plenty of boats docked year around here. A private parking lot up topside, my vehicle sat for days with not a single issue. A few places within walking distance even to grab some food, provisions, etc. once here. My dock space on the end, well lit with land power and water right there. After tying my vessel, adjusting the steps to meet the deck and hooking up supply lines, my weeks visit was very relaxing and enjoyable. Even with the rowing teams at 0530 each morning going by, after the first morning I didn't even notice them by weeks end. A neat little marina, right next to Grand marina for a fraction of the cost. Located across the water from the Coast Guard station. 3.5 Stars - it met my needs for my stay and I will use them again in the future when in the area. 00948

The Jack London Square Marina is a great place to relax and to take in the views of the water. On a warm day, this area tends to remain nice and cool from the marina breeze. It can definitely get a bit windy at the end of the pier, but the sounds of the wind and calm water waves can be extremely peaceful. The Bay Trail runs along the edge of the marina and is a nice place to enjoy a relaxing stroll. The views of the marina and docked boats are really pretty. There are also several benches around where you can sit and relax and a nice green space with lounge chairs for picnicking and recreational activities. If you're able to catch a sunset here, then you'll be in for a real treat. The sunset views are quite entrancing. What's nice is that the marina never seems to be overwhelmingly crowded, so you can truly Re joy the scenery and peacefulness of it. Very grateful to have this local gem so close by.
