Marina Sailing Long Beach - Long Beach, CA

Our group had an amazing boating experience in Long Beach! Our captain knew all the best spots to take us where it was calm and we could even stop for a swim. Michael set up our reservation and was flexible and accommodating. Thanks for the great day!

Marina Sailing has great selection of sailboats and locations. We sailed out of Long Beach to Catalina. Molly was super helpful with the checkout and return process. We selected 'A Little Endeavor', and it was awesome, everything working properly, well maintained and a pleasure to sail.

We enjoyed hanging out at Shoreline Village during the sleep aboard the night before and the mooring in Avalon main harbor provided a beautiful view of the city.

We went at end of April, weather was nice, was easy to get a mooring, the only disappointment was the wind was light and we ended up doing more motoring than would have liked.

Overall it was a fantastic trip, many thanks to Marina Sailing!

Great boating experience for this first time sailor. While I can't speak to the rental side of this, I can say that the boat we chartered was well maintained, and came with most of the things you'd expect from an airbnb. Super fun and enjoyable.

Had a great experience with them. They have an excellent selection of boats and it's easy to browse through them online and know what you're getting The boat was in great condition and was very clean. The staff were very helpful in explaining the ins and outs of running it when we got there and had a helpful manual for figuring out how to run things on the boat. Prices were reasonable.

Their location was easy to get to, though apparently the google maps isn't exactly the location, so check with them online before you show up. Would do another sail through them int he future.

Do not rent here, they have major safety issues with the boats and frankly don't seem to care too much.

We were out and the rudder LITERALLY came off the boat while we were sailing. We lost control of the boat(obviously) and did a 180 degree spin in the middle of the harbor. Fortunately there were no boats in the immediate are but it was very dangerous and frankly pretty scary. I've been sailing for 30 years and have never had that happen before.

Needless to say, we immediately brought in the sails and motored back in. We were only out for about 45 minutes when that happened and lost the rest of the day.

After telling the staff about what happened, they just offered a half sincere apology and told us we were "all set to go". I asked "um, we lost a half day of sailing because of this, could we get some sort of discount?"

The guy at the desk kindly declined any refund and said they "might give a discount the next time". Thank you, but there won't be a next time...ever.

Find another place to rent from. You might not have any problems here, and it might be uncommon or rare, but if something happens you won't get any sort of customer service or credit against a lost afternoon. I'd say this was by far the most expensive and disappointing 2 hours I've ever spent on the water.

Be prepared for a steep ( 30ft at 20 degree incline) dock entry to any of the boats on the west side of Marina. Checking in will cost $2 for parking if over a half hour. Overnight parking is validated but on the street. This place does a check out that includes taking boat out of slip, docking it and return to slip. Not a big deal but plan for about 1.5 hours to get off the dock. Not sure about return guests. Very friendly and helpful folks
