Medium-sized marina with covered slips, multiple parking lots with visible vehicles, adjacent to railroad tracks and residential areas.
West Basin Marina is conveniently located just inside the pier heads one block from the public beach at Tiscornia Park and next to the St. Joseph River Yacht Club. The Marina has 100 total boat slips, 90 seasonal and 10 transient, ranging in size from 30' to 50' in length.
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.
