Medium-sized marina with multiple piers hosting dozens of boats, adjacent surface parking lots with visible vehicles, and several buildings including a large white warehouse, situated on a lake shoreline.
The Caribbean Marina is located on Echo Bay, Lake Minnetonka just west of Excelsior. It offers fuel, ice, over 120 boat and jet ski slips (including 6 transient slips), full marine services, and a restaurant with outdoor patio seating.
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.
