The Marina Main Office

     Strategically, Shelter Cove is one of the most ideal marinas for those wanting to have access to both San Diego Bay and the Pacific Ocean.  The marina is located on the northwest end of Shelter Island and is the first marina on your port as you enter the "America's Cup Harbor" from San Diego Bay.
     Slips vary in size from 28' to 190'.  Electricity, water, telephone access, wireless internet, heads and showers, dock boxes, laundry facilities, tenant recreation room, fitness facility, BBQ area, dock carts and ample parking are available making Shelter Cove the ideal marina.

     In addition to our marina amenities, Shelter Island and the surrounding area offers many additional features. America's Cup Harbor, Downtown San Diego, Mission Bay, Coronado Beach, Balboa Park, San Diego International Airport, and Seaport Village are all within 10 miles of the marina. Also, there are several fine dining establishments, family restaurants and other points of interest and entertainment within walking distance. Marina tenants are provided with a discount card that offers a 20% discount with many local restaurants.

Upon approval by the marina management, a license agreement will be filled out by a marina agent and both the tenant and marina agent will sign. A one-time, credit card authorization must be completed.
