A sapphire-blue bay, surrounded by majestic mountains, is home to the Marine Corps Base Hawaii's Marina. Located on scenic Kaneohe Bay, the Marina offers a variety of activities for water sports enthusiasts.

Enjoy a day of sailing and sightseeing in one of our sailboats, powerboats, or for larger parties, our pontoon boats. Rentals are available for sailing, water-skiing, fishing, kayaking and windsurfing. Sailing classes are taught year-round for every skill level. And for boat owners, two boat-launch ramps are provided, as well as boat storage at the Marina pier. Everyone will enjoy a day by the bay at the base Marina.
