Berthing

Marina Bay Yacht Harbor is an oasis in the East Bay of San Francisco! Our marina is surrounded by lush parks on the shore with great marina amenities and more! Our location in the East Bay puts you just a short distance from Angel Island, the Berkeley Circle, and some of the best sailing and boating in the world.  With a 12-foot deep entrance channel all but the deepest draft boats are free from having to worry about the tide.

BERTH APPLICATION POLICIES

  • Berth rate is based on a three (3) month minimum stay.  For stays less than 90-days, please use the Guest Berthing application.
  • Please submit your application and other paperwork in advance (via e-mail is preferred) so that we can have everything ready for your vessel’s arrival. 
  • Berth rate is based on actual overall length of the vessel (including all projections) or the berth, whichever is greater.  Note: “LOA” as “Length Overall” does not necessarily include additions such as pulpits, anchor platforms, dinghy davits or other projections so the actual overall length of  your vessel may be greater than its LOA.   Final rental amount will be determined when the boat arrives and is measured by marina personnel.  Vessel overhangs are normally limited to two (2) feet or less.
  • The security deposit will hold the slip for up to 30 Days after which the boater is responsible for the full berth rent.  Reserving a slip for longer than 30 Days is at the discretion of the marina.
  • All paperwork must be completed and fees & deposits paid prior to move in.
