Brisbane Marina

This is the northern-most marina on the Peninsula before San Francisco and the harbormaster and staff are FANTASTIC. We had a 44' sailboat here for Thanksgiving week and also stayed one night on the boat. Harbormaster, Andrew was always on site to say hello and was very responsive by email for reservations. Mollie and Chris were professional and helpful too. The marina has 7-11 feet of depth at zero tide, but the channel just outside the marina bottoms out at 5.5 feet at zero tide. We would definitely stay here again because it's possible to sail to Angel Island and the Golden Gate for a day trip.

Why the 1-star deficit despite our overwhelmingly positive experience? Compared to other marinas in the SF Bay, there are a fair number of liveaboards in Brisbane and the vessels and owners are varied; my neighbors were very kind, but the water quality overall was visibly impacted. The docks are safe, but not in tip-top form like at marinas that can afford staff to scrub them every time a seagull makes a visit. Many dockboxes had lights that were not working so walking the docks at night needs extra attention. There was plenty of parking for guests.

Thanks again!

Solid and safe marina with friendly office admin staff and reasonable rates. Lovely views and a bayside bike path plus great highway access.

It is a nice area to look at and to take a short walk. There are plenty of parking spaces and the toilets are available. I haven't seen any places to buy food anywhere in this area. Finally, it is very noisy here. First, many construction activities nearby can be heard and secondly, every few minutes there is an airplane overhead flying to or from SFO. Because, they can not control this noise, i will mark it as satisfied with what the City of Brisbane offers.

Nicest marina of the three in the area. Not that great for fishing. But best to walk and ride bike with the kids.
