Napa Valley wineries, spas, world class restaurants
                                                The Napa Valley Marina and boatyard is near 300 wineries

This marina and boatyard has been owned and managed by the Giovannoni family since 1957. It is a full service marina, with rental boat slips, haul-out facilities for professional work and DIYers, a dry storage yard, a chandlery, and yacht sales. The dry storage yard is the largest in Northern California, presently accommodating more than 220 boats.

The haul-out facility has 5 rails and a ramp, with a state-of-the-art Brownell 35 ton hydraulic trailer. The trailer’s patented design enables it to be custom fit to a wide range of hull configurations. The rail system has a capacity for catamarans up to 71 ft in length, attracting multi-hull yachts from all over the world. An elevator lift can handle boats up to 55 ft.

Haul out rates at the Napa Valley Marina are $7/ft for boats up to 39’, and $8/ft for boats 40’ and up. Dry storage is $4/ft per month for monohulls, and $5.50/ft for multihulls.

The Napa Valley Marina is located on the West side of the Napa River, about 700 yards south of Marker 14 (38-13’13” N, 122-18’41” W). One of the side benefits of hauling out your boat at the Napa Valley Marina is its proximity to some 300 wineries, a dozen spas, and world class restaurants.

Meanwhile, if your boat has no need for a boatyard at the moment, you might check out my articles on places to visit in your boat: beaches, harbors, lunches, brunches, and a ballgame.

(This is the first of a series about boatyards on the San Francisco Bay system. Check back for more in the coming weeks.)
