Marina del Rey is the most vertical move on the Westside. The towers along Admiralty Way, Via Marina, and Marquesas Way nearly all require the same choreography: a certificate of insurance filed with management, a freight elevator reserved in a fixed window, and a loading dock with a time limit. Miss one piece and the crew stands idle on your clock.
So we front-load the paperwork. Before move day, your building has our COI, the elevator is booked, and the crew is sized to finish inside the dock window. Inside the unit it's the same care as any move — wrapped furniture, protected floors — but the Marina's real skill is logistics, and it's one we've made routine.
What moving in Marina del Rey actually involves
COIs & elevator reservations
Nearly every Marina tower requires a certificate of insurance and a reserved freight elevator. We file the COI and book the elevator with your management before move day.
Dock time windows
Loading docks in the Marina often cap moves at 2–4 hour windows. We size the crew to finish inside the window — usually three movers even for one-bedrooms in towers.
Silver Strand & peninsula homes
Off the towers, the Strand's narrow streets and beach-walk homes get the Venice treatment: scouted staging and hand-carry planning.
Dock & storage runs
Moving items to a boat slip, dock box, or nearby storage? Short-haul runs around the Marina are easy add-ons to any move.
Rates for Marina del Rey moves
3-hour minimum on all moves. Firm written quote before move day.

Frequently asked questions
Do you handle Marina del Rey high-rise moves?
Yes, weekly. We file the certificate of insurance with your building, reserve the freight elevator, and size the crew to finish within your loading dock's time window.
What does a Marina del Rey tower move cost?
Standard rates apply — $139/hour for two movers, $169/hour for three, 3-hour minimum. Tower moves usually run best with three movers so the job finishes inside the dock window; your written quote recommends honestly.
How far in advance should I book a tower move?
Two weeks is safest — not for us, but for your building: freight elevator slots and dock windows in Marina towers are often booked a week or more out, especially at month-end.
