Brannan Island

A short tour

The marina,
in eight features.

Sheltered moorage, dry storage, and a launch ramp — with a thousand miles of Delta waterway right off the dock.

§ Geography

Brannan Island sits on Sevenmile Slough, where the Sacramento bends to meet the Mokelumne — about an hour from the city and a different century from the freeway.

The Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta is one of the strangest geographies on the West Coast — a thousand miles of waterway threading fifty-seven islands. Warm summers, quiet sloughs, and some of the best striper, sturgeon, and bass fishing in California. People who live here call it the secret coast.

§ From the air

Shot this spring over Sevenmile Slough — the marina, the slips, and the slough opening onto the main Delta channel.
