Hi All

I'm looking to use a dry storage and vallet service for my boat and so far found 2 that do this. Whiskey Slough and Bethel Harbor Marinas.

Any of these two put me in a better location fishing wise or any good/bad experiences with either?

Any others I'm missing?

Only benefit with WS over BH, so far as I know right now, is that WS is 30 minutes closer to where I live.

Discovery Bay marina always used to do that too. All are close to good fishing. No personal experience with any of them.

Best location on the Delta is Russo's Marina!! Call Lisa at 925-684-2024

+1 Best facility on the delta period.

Any others recommended?

Russos is a bit further than I was hoping to drive. Really trying to be closer to Stockton side if possible. Not ruling it out tho.

Might go with a covered slip with lift rather than the vallet service too. Gives me more freedom to leave on a whim.

Tower park used to do valet. Worth a call. Off Hwy 12.

B&W off the 12 just past Tower Park

Tower Park does, I fish out of there a lot.

I believe B&W resort has this service as well, i have never used it though.

One thing to keep in mind with any Marina that has a valet launch, they typically don't git to work until 8:00-9:00am and will go home at 5:00p, so yer launching is limited to that time period with their assistance. This is one area where Russo's indeed has an advantage, as Chuck and crew will be there at O'dark Thirty on weekends when they have tournaments. Most all of em though will not be around if yer fishing that evening bite that can be so amazing on the Delta this time of year.

Sounds like you need to call the individual marinas and ask them whether they offer valet service, what it is and costs, and what hours it's available.
I know, no one likes doing homework, but sometimes it's the only way to get the straight scoop.

Asking on a forum of people with experience and knowledge is part of doing the homework process.

This is what I have found out. Some will put your boat out the night before and you can leave it there overnight if you come in late.

I think I'm deciding to get a covered slip and a lift. I can come and go much easier and not have to hassle anyone.
