About Big Bear Marina
Big Bear Marina sits at 500 Paine Court on the south shore of Big Bear Lake, offering one of the most complete waterfront experiences in the valley. With over 1,100 Yelp reviews, it's one of the highest-rated and most-visited marinas in the San Bernardino Mountains, drawing families, anglers, and watersports enthusiasts from across Southern California throughout the warm season.
The rental fleet includes pontoon boats seating six to twelve passengers, aluminum fishing boats with quiet four-stroke motors, WaveRunners, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards. Dogs are welcome on pontoon rentals at no extra charge, which has made the marina a favourite among pet-owning visitors. An on-site tackle shop stocks bait, lures, and fishing licences, while their charter fishing service pairs guests with experienced guides who know the lake's trout and bass spots by season.
Beyond rentals, Big Bear Marina operates the Big Bear Cruiser — a narrated lake tour aboard a larger vessel that gives a different perspective on the surrounding peaks and shoreline. The combination of boat rentals, fishing charters, guided cruises, and a well-stocked pro shop under one roof makes it a convenient single stop for a full day on the water without needing to drive between multiple outfitters.
