Lake Havasu Marina in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, is a full-service waterfront hub offering boat rentals, stunning desert lake scenery, and easy access to iconic landmarks.
Lake Havasu Marina sits at the heart of Lake Havasu City's waterfront district, a community that Robert McCulloch built in the late 1960s around the vision of a planned desert resort town. The marina has grown alongside the city, becoming the central hub for boaters, anglers, and watersports enthusiasts who flock to this stretch of the Colorado River each year.
From the docks, visitors can arrange boat rentals ranging from personal watercraft to pontoon boats, making it straightforward to explore the lake's coves and channels at your own pace. Fishing charters targeting striped bass and catfish are a popular draw, and the calm morning waters reward early risers with some of the best angling on the river.
Just under a kilometer away, the storied London Bridge spans the channel directly beside the marina, lending the waterfront an atmosphere found nowhere else in the American Southwest. Paddleboarders and kayakers often glide beneath its granite arches on their way out to open water.
The marina's central location in Lake Havasu City means restaurants, shops, and resort amenities are all within easy reach, making it a natural base for a full desert lake getaway worth returning to season after season.
Visit during spring or early fall to enjoy warm temperatures without the intense summer heat that peaks in July and August.
Arrive early on weekends to secure a slip or rental, as demand rises sharply once the sun is fully up.
Bring polarized sunglasses to cut the glare off the water, which can be surprisingly intense even on partly cloudy days.
Walk the short distance to the nearby London Bridge after your time on the water for a one-of-a-kind desert landmark experience.
Pack reef-safe sunscreen and plenty of water, since the high desert air accelerates dehydration faster than most visitors expect.
