Discovery Bay Marina

I was at my best friends place for the weekend. We were supposed to head down to Duck Key in Florida to visit mybrother but had to cancel because the Delta variant is really bad there, the government is a bunch of idiots! Anyway I decided to at least go to my friends who is in your "bubble" of vaccinated people. She was trying to find fun activities for us to do during my 3 day visit. She had sent me prices for a pontoon rentals and I was a shocked!I grew up on and around all types of boats and water crafts my entire life so she knew this would be fun! We were going to do a lot of boating/scuba diving, lobster trapping ect. on our trip. My girlfriend took me to the marina so I could check it out...this was fun but I was cracking up at the prices they were charging...It was superhot out so a pontoon would be a long hot trip. The boats I saw for rent had a 60 HP motor...This is a total putt putt as far as I'm concerned, I definitely have the need for speed! It was a nice marina and had a large storage area for boats. I always get a kick out of boats names and where they originated from. There were some old dogs with fleas for sure! LOL! They had a couple of small boutiques with touristy stuff, boat shop, and the harbor masters office. I was impressed with the overall cleanliness of the property. This complex that my friend lives in has a championship gold course, harbor and a nice country club. It's prettynice over there in Discovery Bay. I actually was looking at a home on the water while I was there, but I'm not a fan of the delta at all. It's actually very dangerous for water skiing and such...if it was directly on the bay then that would be a different story all together. The only negative thing for me is it's a gated community! My husband and I agree that we just detest this. When I arrived on Thursday around noon, I had to wait for no reason for a van parked in front of me at the gate.There is supposed to be someone there 24/7.

Let me preface this review by saying the staff here are fantastic and have always done their best to make your experience a Great One. Unfortunately Our Beloved Discovery Bay Marina Has Been Purchased By An Out Of State Company Called Suntex. Soon After Our Storage Fees increased by over $100 A Month. Gone Is The Local Control And Feel. The Dry Stacks Are Starting To Look Emptier. Maybe Other People Are Moving Their Boats As Well. Good Luck Suntex

If I could give them a negative star, I would. I don't know about now, but a couple of years ago maybe 2021, this place was a Scandal. If you stored your boat here monthly, they would add erroneous charges to your account regularly. Pam, the "accountant" would also like to add launch fees even when you didn't launch your boat. I had the account placed on auto pay, yet every month we had to constantly do an account reconciliation! Why!? That's because Pam would even mess the auto pay up by not withdrawing the payments on time and then she would do several months at once without even any notification. This is not ok. We went to the Harbor Master at that time but it's like he was too scared or incompetent to help. We also met a couple people who had the same experience. It was my understanding that they did some restructuring, and hopefully they got rid of the corrupt staff that was there, but in the meantime, be very wary and check your bills at the very least. Especially if you don't live there because they think you wont be coming into the office as much. That is what they don't want. They tend to hit out of towners way more. Good Luck!

This place could be nice if owners were nice! They are entitled and rude! They got in over their heads. Very unfair and no ethics!

It's a beautiful marina! Easy to "park" at. Lovely environment!! We look forward to returning!

Horrendous! If you love waiting 45 minutes to launch or land your boat, this is the place for you! The prices went up to $30 a launch. They allow unexperienced boaters to launch taking 15-20 minutes each. They will have 5-8 people working on the dock, and "due to liability" they won't help the people that clearly need help. When their dry stack ramp is not in use they will sometimes allow others to use the ramp, but you basically have to beg someone. Yesterday was the final straw for us. We will be launching elsewhere from now on. If I was the owner, I would hire someone to run dock operations, streamline efficiencies and take a good look at my staff that stands around getting paid to do nothing.

Great place to get gas when boating in the delta, they have many fun events all summer long here, like the poker run, music concerts, etc .The guys on the boat dock are always willing to help you tie up the boat. Also a fun place to paddleboard around the marina. Great job !!

NEVER AGAIN. Methinks they need to work a bit on their ethics.Sure, they're fine when they've got you by the short hairs. Your boat's in dry stack, they charge you monthly in advance and it's only $10 every time you go to launch.The trouble starts when you remove your boat from their tender care. That's when you ask for your money back after they charge your credit card for storing a boat that has been gone from their facility for a month (note: it takes them NO TIME to AUTOMATICALLY CHARGE YOUR CREDIT CARD) but when they charge you for services not rendered they give you a song and dance about how the corporate office needs to send a check. Never mind that 30 days after your boat is IN ANOTHER STATE they're still hanging on to your money.Our boat left their facility on August 3, 2016. They billed us on September 1 for rent. Where's our refund?And if you call, you get to talk with Christian (nice enough fellow, but he can't help you) and refers you to Pam, who is less than cordial, less than helpful but pretty darn arrogant. And she seems to think it's okay to use customers as a bank while they sit on your refund, happily telling you she's finished with this conversation.

STAY AWAY !I kept my boat here and regretted it everytime i came to get my boat. The storage they provide is next to a dusty dirt farm. Your boat is not protected at all. My boat was covered in dirt, spider webs, and wasps nests evrytime. Disgusting. They stole my life jackets, fire extinguisher, ropes, etc. Obviously this was the workers. Not to mention they raise the rate without telling you. Ya its cheap storage, but you get what you pay for.

Beautiful marina located on delta in Discovery Bay. Boat launch, shops and dry storage.
