Spring on Big Bear is the moment when next season's lake life either gets locked in or gets watched from shore. The 2026 season opens May 1, and this is a rare chance to own a 22-foot slip at Pine Knot Marina, one of Big Bear Lake's most established full-service marinas, with the entire summer still ahead of you. The slip sits on E Dock in the protected inner harbor, where the water stays calm and mooring stays easy from opening day through November. A 22-foot length is the sweet spot on this lake. It fits the bowriders, ski boats, and family cruisers that dominate Big Bear summers, without paying for length you don't need. A few reasons this one matters right now. The slip is priced below every other comparable 22' dock currently listed at Pine Knot. Owning at Pine Knot is more than a place to tie up. The marina includes a full-time mechanical service department, a ships store, fuel sales, and storage facilities for trailers and gear, all on-site. Owners get two complimentary launches per season. Optional 24-hour gate access is available. And from this marina you have what locals consider one of the best vantage points on the entire lake for the Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day fireworks shows. If a dock at Big Bear has been the long-term plan, spring is when it pencils out best. Pine Knot Marina is the premier gateway to Big Bear Lake, located where the Village meets the lake along Pine Knot Avenue. As exclusive provider of full-service concessions, it offers luxury pontoons, jet skis, kayaks, paddleboards, a waterpark, wakeboarding (zup boards, tubing, waterskiing), and narrated 90-minute Miss Liberty paddlewheel tours covering local history, folklore, and celebrity sightings dating to 1845. You'll enjoy all the amenities the Dock membership has to offer like (1) free unassigned parking space per slip, "on dock" electricity and water availability, members only restrooms, fish cleaning stations, individual dock box and front row seats to Big Bears 4'th of July firework extravaganza. The marina offers 24/7 video surveillance ensuring on site security, on-site management team, a marine hardware store, an on-site all season repair shop for any unexpected maintenance or repairs.
