    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.

    Port Royal Marina has been an incredible experience. After coming from King Harbor, the difference…read moreis truly night and day. 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.

    *** BEWARE!! *** They don't deserve your business!!…read more AVOID this marina (and all marinas operated by California Yacht Marinas) if you are looking for a slip as they treat slip tenants like trailer trash and you won't believe how egregious their slip agreement is!! The Mayor and the City of Redondo Beach fully supports their overreaching and abusive Wharfage agreement. The CEO justifies their abusive agreement because some marina's in San Diego have similar language. I have lived in Hermosa Beach for over 25 years, owned boats for the last 20 years and have been waiting for the opportunity to get a slip in Redondo Beach for over 10 years and yet I had to walk away from this company because they represent the BASOLUTE WORST of the marina industry and their attitude towards their tenants is simply terrible!! Once I was approved on Sept 19th, I was told that I had to start paying for their slip on Oct 1st or lose it to the next in line. When I politely asked for consideration, they declined outright and made it blatantly clear that they view their tenants with utter contempt and disrespect. The callous disregard they displayed in requiring me pay for the slip from October 1st, despite knowing I'm obligated to give 30 days' notice at my current marina, speaks volumes. I'm very thankful that they laid bare their utter disdain for their tenants before I entered into their unbelievably egregious, 17 page Wharfage agreement that strips away even the most basic right of exclusive use of the slip that I would be paying them for!! It requires that I must notify them when my vessel will be out of the slip for more than 3 days so that they can re-rent it to a 3rd party without my consent or compensation and then require that I provide a 48 hours advance notice before returning to ensure that I can actually dock my boat in the slip that I am paying for!! They also have an egregiously prejudicial dispute resolution; they require a mediator to also be the arbiter for any subsequent binding arbitration due to a failed mediation. This ensures a 100% prejudicial outcome in their favor. Over the last 20+ years, I have berthed boats in 6 different SoCal marinas. 4 private, 1 county and now 1 city marina in 2 different SoCal counties. I can tell you for a fact that NOT ONE of any of the marinas that I have berthed a boat in the last 20+ years, including my current marina has or had any language even remotely close to the non-exclusive language in their agreement or the highly prejudicial dispute resolution!! Their staff assumes that a potential applicant will sign and do anything to win approval even if it means being forced to pay for 2 slips at once. The attitude shown to me during the application process made it very clear that they feel well empowered to subjugate tenants from the start. If I were to become a tenant, I would need to tread on eggshells over fear that I could be evicted on a whim because I complained about something, asked the wrong question or someone doesn't like the tone of my voice.

Jackie who runs the Marina is absolutely the best, total pro with any issues and proactively looking after tenants. Makes a big difference when the leadership are major voters themselves! All the other gals and support crew that maintain the property our top notch and always go the extra mile with sea lion issue, keeping everything clean, electrical issues they've helped me out with always going the extra mile. Also really did having salt restaurant and bar, Hi-Ho, Planta, REI Trader Joe's all the other great restaurants right next to us walking distance!

    Beware of Marina Del Rey Marina - Overpriced, Poorly Managed & Hostile to Tenants!…read more If I could give zero stars, I would. Marina del Rey Marina is hands down the worst marina in the area--and here's why: 1. Overpriced & Unjustified Fees - I was paying over $2,000 a month (plus electricity!) for what? To be constantly watched on security cameras and harassed by maintenance, security, and staff. 2. Not Pet Friendly (Despite Other Tenants Having Pets!) - I was singled out and discriminated against for having two cats, despite the fact that many other boaters have pets. I was a paying liveaboard tenant yet was constantly harassed--why only me? Jackie Z, the so-called "Harbor Master," is rude, discriminatory, and completely unprofessional, running the staff like her personal army while making life miserable for tenants. 3. Run by a Greedy Corporate Giant - Since being bought by Suntex, this marina has gone downhill fast. Suntex is a massive LLC that cares only about profits, snapping up marinas and ignoring tenant needs. 4. False Promises & Poor Amenities - Management talked for over a year about installing a laundromat--but instead, they put in an overpriced $1/gallon water refill machine. Meanwhile, they waste money on golf carts instead of actual necessities for tenants. 5. Sewage Stench & Rats - In the summer, the marina reeks of sewage because they built a shopping center on top of a sewage area. At night, rats run freely around the docks--a truly disgusting and unsanitary experience. 6. Suspiciously Empty Slips - Out of all the marinas in Marina del Rey, this one is noticeably partially empty. My guess? They're holding slips for the 2028 Olympics, planning to price-gouge boaters when the time comes. Bottom Line? STAY AWAY. This marina is run like a prison, with cameras everywhere, constant complaints via email, and management that does not care about its tenants. Unless they fire the current management and actually prioritize tenant needs, this marina will continue to be a hostile, overpriced nightmare. If you're considering docking here, go see for yourself why this is the only marina in Marina del Rey that's half-empty--and then take your business elsewhere.
