Pleasure Cove Marina

Pleasure Cove Marina sits on Lake Berryessa at 6100 Highway 128, a short drive west of Markley Cove. It's a full resort-style marina: slips, a launch, dry storage, camping and lodging in one place, operating under a Bureau of Reclamation concession.

The marina

The state boating facilities directory lists about 220 slips and tie-ups, all covered, for boats from 18 to 75 feet, plus dry storage for about 30 boats. The launch has two boarding floats and two carry-down walkways, and there are about 125 parking spaces for vehicles with trailers. Services include fuel sales, a convenience store, a restaurant, tackle, ice, boat rentals, a fish-cleaning station, a washdown area, laundry, showers, power and water on the docks, transient tie-ups, a sewage pump-out and oil disposal. Campsites, lodging, a swimming area and picnic areas round it out.

Launching under the seal program

Pleasure Cove is one of the five launch locations Reclamation lists on the lake. Since November 25, 2024, every boat launching at Berryessa must be inspected and sealed. Boats either sit out a 30-day red-seal quarantine or get hot-water decontamination from approved Solano County Water Agency staff, and an exit seal on the way out lets you launch freely next time.

Good to know

Call the marina for current launch hours and fees before towing in.
