Great customer service! The marina staff is extremely friendly. Fellow neighbors in the marina are super friendly and helpful. The second we pulled in, several neighbors came out to lend a hand. The marina is clean, secured, and quiet.

Cool marina at the end of the bay has its benefits!! This place is totally protected with zero surge or wave action in the slips. A cool park at the outside fringe is great to walk to after a day of boat projects. If you are willing to get your steps in, there is a West Marine close by, pretty cool pub on the Malecon, and a huge mall with eateries and stores galore! The staff here: Andy, Tori & Dani are super accommodating and willing to help in any way which makes staying here super easy, comfortable & a bit hard to leave! I will definitely refer this place to my friends. Come check out Safe Harbor South Bay! You will be glad you did. Tell them Capt. Lawnboy sent ya!

Had a great time visiting friends! The key for gate and bathroom facilities was waiting for us on the dock when we arrived. Checking in and out was a breeze!.

Very very very nice facilities. As well as accommodating and friendly staff. Stay there for one week as a transient Saillor as part of the Baja ha ha 2023 rally before leaving for me. Jefferson Asbury.

Broke our prop shaft on the way to Ensenada and had the layover for a month wedding to be hauled out and repaired. Andy found us a spot, assisted when we arrived under one engine and was a fabulous host during our entire stay in Chula Vista. The marina was spotless, well-managed and maintained. Super friendly and helpful live aboard residence nearby. I would highly recommend Andy, his staff and this marina.

My wife and I stayed with CYM (Chula Vista) for the thanks giving week. The Marina is very adequate and the staff is great. The best thing about staying here was the Dock Master/Manager Andy. Andy is simply the best...seriously He went the extra mile for us without any hesitation. Thank you Gary & Dina R.

Great marina with an organized and welcoming staff, they made our stay easy from beginning to end. The communication upfront was superb, we knew exactly how to get to the slip which made things easier. The docks are well maintained and clean, the facilities are clean and well maintained, a little older but that was no problem. The entire marina has great security, with card keys, the local residents all look out for each other too. The train is a short walk, there is a West Marine nearby and a restaurant in the marina too. Everything we needed was easily available and we appreciated the quiet, park-like location.

by Bob S. - Verified user on Aug 19, 2021

This is an excellent marina with a great staff. There is a restaurant within walking distance. Although it's a bit of a walk, you can take the trolley into downtown San Diego, or to Tijuana. They arranged for our three boats traveling together to tie up to their long dock. The Dockmaster, Andy, came down on his day off to help us turn our full-keel boat around on the dock. The facilities are not new but very clean. They have cheap ice. You have to pick your way down the channel to get there, but it's worth the trip. This was our second trip, and it was just as good as the first.

Marina Response:

Thank you for your review! We enjoyed the MYCLB visit with our marina and we look forward to more group visits again.

by Hannah C. - Verified user on Aug 02, 2021

Easy booking experience. Slip was ready for us with key as soon as we arrived. Easy to adjust our reservation to add days. Restrooms were clean and showers were hot with really great water pressure. Very friendly patrons. Overall an excellent experience!

Wasn't sure what to expect, but it was very quite pleasurable clean and everyone was very nice and helpful, being my 1st time docking in a Marina. I had a very good time.

Marina Response:

Thank you for your review! We appreciate your time with our marina community.

by Brieanne K. - Verified user on Aug 20, 2020

We came in for some dock time prior to getting our boat hauled out for service. The people were wonderful, both tenants and management. Everyone was friendly and helpful, particularly Tori in the office, who’s knowledge and service made a potentially stressful event quite stress free. The facilities were very clean and deep cleaned twice daily during our stay.
