The yacht had fantastic scenery and Colton was a great host. He was very quick to respond and help me out when I was struggling to locate the check in area. The yacht is very close to the metro so it is easy to get around the Bay Area if needed. It was also easy to check out. I had a fantastic stay.

I enjoyed a very serene stay on this yacht and wished I didn't have to check out so early. Communication was easy, and the location was ideal for me because I was working an event the next day in Oakland. I'll definitely be back any time I need to be in the area.

I really enjoyed my stay on the boat. Quiet, serene with ducks, geese and other birds to listen to. Finding it was easy as the host had very specific directions and descriptions. I liked being able to use the dock showers as boat shower are always too small. There's even a sitting area above with various gardens to relax at. I would definitely stay here again.

My kids and I had a special, cozy night aboard this lovely yacht. We had a fun day in Alameda and it was great to surprise them with a sleepover on a boat instead of a hotel. It felt magical to watch sunset and to see the stars from the marina. We enjoyed a great breakfast at Mosley’s cafe. Thank you for a unique floating night together!

Colton was an excellent host!!!!! His communication was quick and professional! The boathouse is s great thing to experience if you haven't done so! For the age of the boat it still was in excellent condition! The view of the water is absolutely stunning!!! Just bring extra blankets or comforter with you cause it does get cold from being right on the water but other than thst the trip was perfect!

Jamie, thank you for your recent stay at Marina Grand. Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and would love to host you again. As for the restrooms, you should have been able to access them with the entry FOB, also there are multiple restrooms around the marina, if for some reason one is occupied or for some reason in accesible. We do highly encourage our guests to reach out during their stay and we are happy to assist with any issues such as these. But regardless we are sorry you had to deal with this inconvenience. We do sincerely thank you for your stay and for being a great guest. Many thanks, Marina Grand Team.
