Elliott Bay Marina

Beautiful views

Elliot Bay Marina is a beautiful downtown marina with views of the Space Needle and Waterfront, located close enough to enjoy the waterfront activities (and close to Fisheries Supply marine parts store!). Parking is ample, docks are in good shape, and the marina hosts boats from small to super-yachts. Yet even more important to us is the staff. We have worked mostly with Nate and can’t say enough about his warmth, helpfulness, and open communication. It is staff like Nate that make or break the character and enjoyment of a marina. A+ rating overall for Elliott Bay Marina and its staff.

Beautiful marina with friendly helpful staff.

A recent visit with Tacoma Yacht Club was great! The people on the phone and in person were very helpful. The proximity to restaurants and downtown is great. We would recommend stay here.

The Tacoma Yacht club did a cruise to Elliott Bay to attend boat show. Slip assignments were fantastic. The marina even offered us to use water during extreme cold temperatures. 30+ people went to Maggie Bluff near the marina office. They were great to work with for organizing a cruise. Worked hard to get us all in.

Recent two night stay with Tacoma Yacht Club was fantastic. The marina location is perfect and easy entrance. The staff was very helpful and saw us approaching and call to offer any help.

Happy New Year 2025! It was wonderful to spend New Year's Eve here and watch Seattle fireworks.

A very accommodating marina. I will stay there again. Other than not having a fob key for the restroom facilities.

The marina, facilities and staff are very nice but we were overcharged on our credit card by two additional days for a one-night stay. Now we have to go through the hassle of getting a refund from the marina :-(

Was easy to get a reservation and the marina was very helpful in getting the information needed for my stay

Love online reg and comms

Great communication before arrival. Slip was ready for us. Only issue was no information on how to access bathrooms.

Easy to book. Quiet friendly staff great restaurants

Great Marina, great staff!

Great service and we always have a great time.

Great facility and staff but make sure you get a key fob for bathrooms as the code doesn’t work on those (I was rescued by a very helpful security guard)

We were moored on the outside breakwater, N Dock, and it was a bit rough and rolling water all night.

Great marina relatively close to Seattle. Would definitely return.

Clean facilities and professional staff!

Great location and amenities on shore. Palisade Restaurant was great! When we came back from “White Christmas” at the 5th Ave, the Dock Gate Code had changed locking us out. Fortunately, we were able to get after hours help who gave us a new code that went into effect at 9PM.

Beautiful facilities and exceptionally welcoming staff. I guess i understand having to be buzzed into the toilet, but... Primary reason for score is that Elliott Bay Marina dock facilities are in need of repair. Fingers are wobbly, the 3 cleats in my slip B76 were all loose.

We loved our stay! The marina is in excellent shape. Everyone was so friendly and the amenities are wonderful. We were the smallest boat there and everyone was kind and welcoming. It’s a beautiful area. So close to downtown and shilshole, the Locks and more. We will be back!

Beautiful marina, clean and nice facilities, two restaurant options on-site. Only downside is the tight fit for most boats to get into the slips.

Always a pleasure. Easy moorage, pleasant and well kept location and friendly staff. Elliot bay marina is top notch

Beautiful marina. Exceptionally well maintained. Wonderful staff.

Always love staying there. Staff is great, facilities first-rate!

It would have been nice to have been told that the access codes change prior to being locked out!!! I suggest that information be communicated to guests that stay through a month change.

This marina is awesome!

What a great stay at Elliot Bay Marina! The view of the city for New Years Eve was perfect. Easy fuel Dock access, and very friendly help from Ann at the fuel dock.

Awesome full service marina. Friendly and helpful staff. It would be advantageous to have a E-Bike rentals at or near the marina.

Great stay, clean facilities. Friendly gas dock staff

One of our favorite marinas and this visit did not disappoint. Clean, friendly, modern, beautiful. Plus fireworks!

Great marina with laundry, rest rooms, and guest parking. Secure access only and clean docks. The marina staff are super responsive and helpful. Great spot!

Great facilities, great staff, great fuel dock and operator! This marina was so picturesque, I took a panoramic shot with the Space Needle, city skyline, Mt. Rainier, the marina, and then The Olympics ridge line! We had a perfectly clear day and what an amazing spot!

Great marina and clean facility. Got locked out when the codes changed during the night and between 6-8 was trying to get the family set to take sale with the tide and was not able to get the new code tell harbor master office opened. Security guy was great but was difficult having 6 people on my crew taking showers in the morning not able to come and go before we left. Other than that was great and will definitely visit again hopefully be able to sleep in a bit with a later tide.

Elliot Bay is beautiful and the team wee responsive and helpful. First rate and a fantasist place from which to see the area.

Very friendly helpful staff. Excellent facilities, neat and clean.

The staff have been helpful, the marina clean and the view spectacular. Can't ask for anything more.

Beautiful grounds, nice showers/toilets, secure gates. Even got to see a great neighborhood fireworks show on the 4th!

Great marina, faciliies and staff!

We were initially assigned a slip on N dock, but found that there have been some shore power issues with that dock as it is newer and all circuits are on GFCI which causes shorts if there is any amperage drain. The dockmaster reassigned us to K and we had no issues with shore power. The marina is very nice, clean, quiet, and has all of the amenities you could need. Ideally, it would be nice if there were a convenience store within walking distance, but that's minor. Locked gates and doors with 24/7 dockmaster availability gave a sense of security.

Super clean, friendly harbotmaster, great facility. Thanks!

This is a lovely 5 star marina with upscale amenities. Exceptionally maintained and responsive marina staff. Very secure. Quiet, serene and beautiful walking paths if you bring a dog. Slips are well sized and access is easy. Private water spicket at each slip.

I love Elliott Bay Marina! Very clean and awesome fuel dock.

Beautiful setting! Good facilities. Would have liked to see ice machines available for guests. Buying at the fuel dock was inconvenient. Make sure to check in with the Harbormaster if you are staying more than 10 days. You get a big discount!
