CIf you ever take your dinghy cruising on San Diego Bay you may want to tie up for a few hours to go walking, visit the Maritime or Midway Museums or Seaport Village or stop to eat. But unless you opt

It’s a real shame San Diego can’t invest in more dinghy docks for boaters both local and visiting to enjoy the area more. When Red Sail was open the public dock was and still is an embarrassment to San Diego. All this talk about football and soccer teams, few more docks to help boaters spent]d more money locally would be a great return on tax payers investment.
Agreed! We’re visiting before the Baja Ha Ha, and can’t seem to easily dinghy to services we’d love to spend money at like groceries and laundry.
The Port of San Diego has gone to great lengths throttling back, or eliminating dingy docks, just since this article was published. In fact, I can’t think of any place on the Bay where one could go to the grocery store, pharmacy, shopping mall, movies… etc. without having your boat cited for Mooring without the owners consent, a misdemeanor! And the owner, you guessed it, The Port of. San Diego!
Dock and dine, sure, make your reservations twenty four hours in advance. Oh, and we’ll be watching you, no side trips!
They’ve found away to squeeze every cent from local and visitors alike.
Imagine the outrage when all free parking is eliminated!
Welcome to San Diego, pay up!
I am mystified why the port is taking this position. Why not just charge like you were parking a car. Boaters will pay to use a dinghy dock
