Marina Del Rey Marina

A beautiful and charming marina! We enjoyed a lovely walk along the fishermen’s deck and were even lucky enough to spot some seals. Highly recommended!

Marina Del Rey is the best marina out of all the marinas we have been. Me and my family have the most amazing time every weekend that we are here. Keith and Boris give their most amazing service and help when we need it. Thank you all for everything you do for the Marina

Had such a dreamy day in Marina del Rey 💛 Came to hang on a friend’s boat and it honestly felt like a mini vacation..sunshine, sea breeze, and that classic marina calm. Everyone we ran into was super friendly, and the whole place just has this laid-back, tucked-away vibe that makes you forget you’re still in LA. 10/10 would “accidentally” spend an entire afternoon here again.

The staff at Marina Del Rey Marina are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I have been at other marinas previously, but am very glad that I chose this Marina for my boat slip. From the first day at MDRM, I felt very comfortable and a welcomed part of my new Marina family.

We love this marina! They are so nice, always available and want to make your life easier and more fun. The facilities are top notch and the employees are great and courteous. The location is terrific with easy access the restaurant (which makes great cocktails). The difference between this Marina and our last one could not be more different - this one is amazing and it makes you realize how special it is

Great marina, with the best staff!! The docks and amenities are better than most, clean, safe, convenient - everything we desire from a marina. Short walk to everything you need - Trader Joe's, REI, West Marine, restaurants, etc The entire staff makes the experience so much better than any other marina! The slips are well maintained, sizeable, and the team is great keeping everything clean, up to date, and operational.

We absolutely love being at Marina del Rey Marina. The staff here is amazing—super attentive, friendly, and always willing to help out with anything we need. It really makes a difference knowing there’s a reliable and welcoming team looking out for the boaters. The amenities are great, and the whole marina is well-maintained. You can tell they take pride in keeping everything running smoothly. Plus, being right in front of the hotel gives the whole place a fun, resort-like vibe, almost like being in Miami! It’s a fantastic experience overall. We’re really happy to be here and feel lucky to be part of such a great boating community

I truly couldn’t ask for a better marina! The docks are always sparkling clean and beautifully kept — it’s such a peaceful, picturesque place to spend time. But what really makes this marina feel like home is the incredible office staff. Angela, Jackie, Betania, and Danielle are absolute gems! They’re always warm, welcoming, and ready with a smile. Their kindness and care make every visit feel special. I’m so grateful to be part of this little slice of paradise!

Beware of Marina Del Rey Marina - Overpriced, Poorly Managed & Hostile to Tenants! 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.

I've been at a few other marinas in MdR over the last seven years, this is hands-down the best all around Marina! 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!

If you're looking for barking sea lions and beautiful boats, then the marina is a must. The walking paths are spacious and go along the edge of the water.

I work with Marinas up and down the coast and Marina del Rey Marina is by far the most Professional, friendly and helpful . THANKS

This used to be a good marina until Suntex took over a few months ago. Suntex immediately raised slip rates to the highest in all of MdR and cut services and staff hours. Safety has become a concern as well as staffing seems to have dropped off.

Marina Del Rey Harbor encompasses the entirety of the marina. Located near Venice and about quarter mile from the beach there's quite a lot to do. The harbor offers excellent views especially at sunset and some wonderful fine dining restaurants. You can simply take a walk and look at all the adorable boats, some yachts and some sea lions or you can spend the day and have a bike ride, a lovely walk, a run and a fine meal for dinner. There are many places to eat there, and most you can get to by bicycle but you cannot walk to every one of the restaurants. They are spread apart. Depending on what you feel like eating there is a great Mexican restaurant and several fish restaurants. All the required good albeit a tad pricey. The Ritz-Carlton it's located in the marina and there is also a Marriott. Both are wonderful as to the rooms, the food, and the service. One thing I really enjoy about the harbor is that it is often cooler then other areas even during the heat of the summer. Have a great time.

This is the worst marina in Marina Del Rey. It has the best location because it is old. Unfortunately it has not been upgraded since it opened. Their website says they offer amenities others can't match. This is true - no one is as bad as they are. The only 'amenity' they offer are two bathrooms that are old, rotted and never, ever cleaned. The boaters scream and complain because it is so bad but neither the dock manager, nor Corporate cares. They're making their money regardless. There are no minimum standards for boats. There are old, filthy, unmaintained boats everywhere. Despite all that, they are the most expensive marina there. Do yourself a favor - check out all the other marinas and don't choose this one!

This is one of my favorite places to take a stroll and one of the most massive marina's in the world. It's easy to take a safe walk along the paved path and savor the stunning views of the harbor. Venture down Bora Bora Way, and decide which direction you want to explore, then get in those steps on your Fitbit. Every year, the yachts here get larger and larger. Unless you're a boat owner or live in a nearby condo, however, it can be extraordinarily difficult to find parking. Due to excessive construction in the neighborhood, traffic can be tricky. Those hundreds of new condos that are being built, mean hundreds of new people. Enjoy the serenity of this shipshape marina while you can.

Ended up deciding to stay and forgo the nicer view on the main channel due to how well run this marina is by Jackie and the great neighbors! The family is happy...

I came to meet my friend for a weekend in Catalina. I was lost but found the office. went in for help and Breana was super helpful and extremely professional. Thanks Breana! Steve

Marina Del Rey is the largest man made marina in the world. On a day like today it's great to just walk around thru the channels. I hear there is going to be some serious new construction going on soon. Shopping, restaurants and a lot more.

I've been a tenant here for 3+ years and I can honestly say this marina and this team are amazing. The docks are super clean and modern and new. Security crew is always there making sure the boats and area are safe. Rudy and the maintenance crew are amazing and always super attentive and helpful Jackie is a great harbor master and always so helpful and accommodating. Honestly, this is a great marina inside the MDR harbor.

This review is for the the anchorage Marina Del Rey Marina, not the entire Marina del Rey area (which I love). Staff members at this marina are confrontational and rude. The majority of slips have boats that are unkempt and liened (meaning the slip was not paid and the boat has a large chain connecting the boat to the the dock preventing the boat from leaving). I would not recommend, plenty of other nice marinas in Marina del Rey.

We can't say enough about Dock Master Jackie and her amazing staff! They are fast, efficient and treat everyone with professionalism and have built an amazing "community" within the marina. We have made life long friends and consider the crew a part of our boat family! Thank you for everything you all do for us!

Boaters Beware! I've been a boater for many years. A boat on the water is like your home away from home and as such you should expect to be able to quietly enjoy your time there. This is only possible at this marina after dark when the dock master and her coven of busy bodies aren't trolling the vicinity. There are quite a few slips available at this marina. It could be the ailing economy or it could be the overbearing and intrusive dock master, Julie. On 'numerous' occasions she has actually followed our guests into the bathrooms to inquire why they were there and who they were visiting. We can certainly understand the desire to keep undesirable people from using the facilities but since you can't get into the bathrooms without a key issued from the dock master's office, it is a reasonable assumption that someone using the bathroom has permission to be there. It is neither appropriate behavior nor professional conduct to interrogate persons using the bathroom because you have an overwhelming desire to satisfy your curiosity. A less personal offense but no less frustrating is how she/they have restricted access to workers hired to make repairs. Again, if a hired repairman has a key to the boat, it's a fair assumption that he has been authorized to be there. We've had numerous appointments cancelled or delayed due to their 'officiousness'. Another poster said 'they are always around...' That is sadly true. He also said, 'they are quite friendly'. We think less 'personality' and more respect of privacy is in order. Bottom line, if you would like to be able to enjoy your second home without the nosy landlord constantly buzzing about - Don't use this marina.

Great Marina, easy sailing and fun!

When we were bringing our boat up to its new home here, we hit a submerged object and it was totaled. Julie and her team bent over backwards to help us out even though we were new tenants. Good people and a well-run marina.

Talk about making it so easy and very efficient with the friendly staff at MDRM. Julie the Dock master awesome and we love her accent. We needed a slip ASAP and she made it happen. Just to recap, I'm sure we will be here for a long time. Thanks!

You pay more here, it's that simple. Like 30% more. And because you pay more, there are fewer riff-raff. There are always staff around, they maintain the place pretty darned well and are quite friendly. Showers and toilets are always clean. The hotel pool is a highlight; I love swimming and lounging around almost as much as I like keeping my boat here. What more would I like? Ice-maker....fewer neglected boats (they should all be moved to a "neglected boat dock") and maybe a jacuzzi by the pool would be cool.
