Easy process using app. Different location for guest moorage w/reservations than in previous visits. Large easy to access linear dock. Great security lighting at night. However dock is accessible by public during the day and lots of foot traffic walking by boat. Unfortunately Dock access not locked after dark. Only signs stating restricted to boaters and guests…not much deterrent. New restaurant Fisherman’s Jack open (upscale Chinese) and new speakeasy (4-11pm) the Muse is excellent. Great marina to visit!
Friendly dock staff and marina office folks. Easy to make reservation. Assignment made after hailing. Blowing 13 knots so line handlers were around to assist if needed. COVID made local restaurant options limited. Easy 1/2 mile walk to Deer Harbor Inn with nice outdoor patio. Marina facilities (Showers etc) open but didn’t feel up to cleanliness standards found other marinas on this trip. Water limited. No boat rinse and strongly suggested not to fill onboard fresh water tanks. However good option if linking up with fly-in family or friends with timeshare resort cabins above marina and seaplane service linking to Seattle. Post COVID access to resort pool BBQ area etc for marina guests will be nice addition.
Restrooms and showers closed for COVID. Using WA state ferry public facilities. No consideration in charges for moorage. However all properly disclosed.
