San Diego, California Marinas for Sale

San Diego offers year-round boating across two premier waterways — Mission Bay, a 4,235-acre man-made aquatic park, and San Diego Bay, a 12-mile natural deepwater harbor managed by the Port of San Diego. Slip demand far outstrips supply: waitlists at Shelter Island and America's Cup Harbor marinas run years long, and a 2024 reduction in liveaboard permits pushed even south bay facilities into extended queues. California carries roughly 700,000 registered recreational boats, and San Diego's Mediterranean climate makes it one of the few U.S. markets with true 365-day utilization. Marina inventory rarely trades — Shelter Cove Marina on America's Cup Harbor was recently listed as a "once-in-a-lifetime" acquisition. Buyers should expect high per-slip valuations driven by chronic undersupply and Port lease structures that govern most bayfront parcels.
