Well-organized full-service marina with multiple piers, adjacent large striped asphalt parking lots containing numerous vehicles, and surrounding commercial buildings.
Clipper Yacht Harbor is Sausalito's largest and only full service harbor. It offers convenient services including a public fuel dock, private launch ramp, full service boat yard, and accommodates boats from 20 to 80 feet with over 700 slips.
Marinas typically need to separate slip holder parking from day-visitor parking, trailer areas, launch ramps, and secure dock access points. Modern facilities use barrier gate systems to enforce these zones automatically — allowing permitted vehicles through via transponder or keycard while logging all access events.
