We started using the Riviera launch last year since it’s a little closer than launching at Marina. The Riviera launch has been fairly slow the few times we’ve used it and has been trouble free. We bought an annual pass this year before DS.
Fast forward to DS Fri and Sat.
Lot was full early, overflow parking up steep hill. Wife got golf cart ride down hill after launching from 1 of 2 carts which was great. But only 1 cart operating per employee on retrieval of trailer and wife walked the hill. She wasn’t happy. Recommendation , need golf cart shuttles if overflow used, especially 110 plus temps climbing that hill.
My issue was the lack of courtesy docks when busy, especially when the wind is blowing like it was both Fri and sat. Only the one dock was available, dropping and picking up was a pain in the ass with pontoons parked at the end. The wind was blowing pretty good pushing me into the weeds and shore, boats floating around dock, and the few slips for drop off was full. We need more courtesy docks if the Riviera remains busy or don’t allow people to park at the end of the one courtesy dock for drop offs.
