Marina Del Rey Marina

What Marina Del Rey Marina does

Marina Del Rey Marina is a single-location recreational marina operating at 13524 Bali Way in Marina Del Rey, California, anchoring the largest man-made small-craft harbor in North America. The facility provides wet slip dockage on monthly and annual lease terms, transient slip rentals for visiting boaters, and supporting amenities including concrete docks, metered electric, fresh water, pumpout services, security, restrooms, showers, kayak and paddleboard storage, and a community outdoor lounge. On-site hospitality is anchored by SALT Restaurant & Bar, which also offers tenant discounts.

The marina is operated as part of the Suntex Marinas network and is branded "A Suntex Marina." Its core technology layer is the Suntex Reservations platform (powered by Molo at book.getmolo.com), which enables 24/7 self-service transient slip booking and a customer portal for existing tenants, supplemented by a dedicated slip inquiry form and online maintenance request workflow. The marina runs a value-add program called the Advantage Plus Card, which grants slip tenants discounts at 17 local businesses across marine services, dining, wellness, laundry, and entertainment. National strategic partnerships extend the offering with Boatsetter (boat rental marketplace), NFP Boat Insurance, and Aloha Pontoons.

Revenue is generated from two principal streams: recurring monthly and annual wet slip dockage leases (subscription/recurring) and usage-based transient slip rentals booked through the Suntex Reservations system. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; prospective tenants submit slip inquiries for negotiated monthly rates. The marina serves individual boat owners — sailboats, yachts, and pleasure crafts — primarily in the Southern California and Los Angeles metropolitan boating market, with no disclosed enterprise or commercial fleet customers. The operation is lean, with 7 employees listed, relying on the parent Suntex Marinas network for branding, technology, and back-office infrastructure.
