The marina scenes in the opening credits of the season 2 & 3 Gilligan's Island episodes (the color episodes) were filmed at the Long Beach Alamitos Bay Marina.

And the Long Beach Alamitos Bay Marina is where Busters Beach House is located.

And The Smokin Menehunes are playing at Busters Beachhouse this Sunday (April 25)

So if you go this Sunday, take a look out of the big window at Busters. You may recognize the locations of these 2 shots of the S.S. Minnow leaving for it's 3 hour tour before the weather started getting rough.

I always thought that part was from the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor in Honolulu facing Magic Island at Ala Moana Park.

Here it is modernly

There's a reference to it here
