HARBOR GUIDE – NAVIGATION

  • Harbor Basins

    Eight (8) basins lettered A through H are located in Marina del Rey.
  • Harbor Depth

    The average harbor depth in Marina del Rey is 15-21 feet.
  • Hazards

    Shoaling conditions can exist at both north and south jetties. Shoal buoys have been placed to warn boaters of entrance hazards and boats should not pass inside marked buoys.

    Anchored vessels adjacent to Marina del Rey entrance pose another hazard to navigation in reduced visibility and extreme caution is advised when transiting this area.

    During the winter months, you can expect very low tides. Prudent boaters should consult local Tide Tables whenever they expect to traverse hazardous areas prone to shoaling conditions.

    Boaters may contact the Marina del Rey Sheriff's Station on VHF Marine Radio, Channel 16 or by telephone at 310 482 6000 for updated information on the entrance conditions.
