Coast Guard Basin is a marina located in Detroit, Michigan, along the Detroit River, which forms a key waterway connecting Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair in the Great Lakes region. This urban setting on the river's edge offers boaters access to the vast freshwater network of the Great Lakes, including opportunities for both recreational sailing and powerboating in a historically significant industrial area. It primarily serves vessels navigating the Detroit River and the broader Great Lakes system.
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.
