Key Takeaways

Caution: Watch the north side at low tide. Sand conditions near the north entrance side continue to shift with tide movement. Take extra precautions when water levels are low.

Dredging has removed 38,710 cubic yards of sediment from the waterway entrance sea floor to date. This process has increased depth and improved navigation safety. Depths improved after recent work in parts of the entrance channel.

Next scheduled dredge: Fall 2026

Welcome to San Francisco Marina Small Craft Harbor. The San Francisco Marina, as it is also known, is a destination sought by thousands of boaters from all over the world. The oldest recreational marina operating in San Francisco, and perhaps the Greater Bay Area, the harbor has had vessels berthed in its original basin, now known as the West Harbor, since before the 1906 earthquake. The original marina was expanded in the mid-1960s and is now approximately 35 acres. The entire facility has 727 berths, including 15 end ties for guest berthing vessels up to 90 feet LOA, free pump-out stations and a commercial fuel dock. San Francisco Marina also features a large and popular park, Marina Green, which is home to many events including Escape From Alcatraz and Fleet Week. Marina Green also has several “par course” workout stations along its perimeter.
