Marina History
Early in the 1900s, civic leaders envisioned a protected harbor for Redondo Beach. Frank Lloyd Wright, Jr. filed a master plan to which today’s King Harbor was a close resemblance. From 1917 through 1958, a series of inadequate attempts were made to create a protected harbor. Finally, in 1958, the present King Harbor was started and dedicated on November 19, 1966.
Through the efforts of Congressman Cecil R. King, the Federal Government financed the breakwater. The costs of all dredging, harbor bulkheads, adjacent walkways and railings were financed through revenue bonds repaid by a percentage of revenue rents from private business activities. All the docks, buildings, roadways, utilities, landscaping, furnishings, fixtures, and equipment were paid for by private investment. All of the harbor improvements were created without costs to the taxpayers.
The leasehold is approximately 36 acres of land and water which includes an 825 boat slip marina, a 49-unit apartment building, office buildings, and boater facilities. Leaseholders include The Bay Club, Bluewater Grill, King Harbor Marine Center, King Harbor Yacht Club, and the Redondo Beach Yacht Club.
Marina Cove Ltd. was the leaseholder for over 50 years. On March 2020, Marina Cove Ltd. entered into a purchase agreement for Majestic KHM LLC to take over the lease. Majestic KHM LLC is managed by GGE Management.
