Port Washington Municipal Marina

Marina/town is beautiful. Ate at Twisted Willow… awesome dinner. Very friendly and helpful staff. Had a wonderful stay. Thank you

Well constructed marina, great town. Very helpful when we developed steering problems

Great marina with friendly and helpful service. Clean and comfortable facilities. The town itself and picturesque and very walkable. Great port to visit. Update 2025/07/08 We spent the last 8 weeks as long term transients in Port Washington. What a wonderful port! We have loved every minute and will be back again and again. The facilities are well maintained and the service amazing.

As always, everything went as smoothly as one could hope. Everything is so clean and the freezer for the fish is very much appreciated.

We sailed up from McKinley Marina in Milwaukee. They had a friendly and helpful team, nice and clean marina, the bathrooms were great (clean, good water pressure), and walking distance to some great restaurants and cute downtown area.

The staff was very helpful and, as usual, the marina looked great.

Excellent staff always nice too us very friendly

The marina is very well run. The bathrooms are superclean and they well-maintained grills. Port Washington is a nice town. There's an old-fashioned butcher a few blocks away and good ice cream. The only downside is that there are lot of fisherman who leave the marina early and don't observe the "no wake" policy".

Always a great and convenient place to dock at!

Always a nice stay at Port Washington. Friendly staff and a very clean marina.

Great stay! Everyone was helpful and friendly. Cute town to walk around and fabulous restaurants 😍

Prompt processing of reservation request. Helpful staff, nice facilites

Ava did a great job getting my gates keys after we arrived late due to a flat tire on the highway.

Love it here! Staff is nice and location is amazing

I was very happy with the service we got from the staff at the marina. It's one of our favorite places to go!

Great experience. Nice, clean, well laid out marina. Staff is very helpful and friendly.

Our boat spent the season on the hard due to unforseen issues. Lisa was amazing to work with.

Great marina and staff. Good facilities and amenities.

Spent the season in Port Washington and it is such a nice relaxing marina to stay in with plenty of events around town and good restaurants within walking distance.

Perfect! Friendly staff!! Great job all

Wonderful marina! The people are so friendly and the facilities are well-maintained

What an awesome Marina, great staff and great service! Not to mention the best fuel prices on the Wisconsin side of Lake Michigan! Great town, great food, great experience. Whenever we are near Port Washington, this will be a definite stop every time!

Loved it, lived it, and can't wait to do it again. Thanks to all of you who helped us out. You know who you are!

This marina is great. Great staff and walkable community

The team at the marina are always so kind and helpful. The bathroom facilities and showers are clean and there is good water pressure. It is safe and there are many things to walk to.

We've always liked PW Marina. Ideal location close to bars and restaurants and very helpful staff.

We love going to Port. Great marina. Restaurants close by. People great.

Everything was easy thanks to the directions and instructions given to us when we called on the radio just outside the harbor! Jessie helped us with docking, and also fueling! She is an asset to the Marina!

Clean marina, nice docks. Dock staff that met us know how to handle lines. Good wife. Had lines at the bathrooms, but is was also a busy holiday weekend. Boaters had guests using showers and bathrooms.

Great docks, facilities, and staff.

Excellent location. Friendly staff. We will be back

Nice docks with deck hands ready to help us dock.

Great marina, great city

Well organized. Helped out with last minute reservation.

Great people helping on the docks

Great people helping on the docks

We had a great stay,very clean marina,great dock hands.

Very helpful, met expectations,

This port and marina is definitely worth the stop. The staff is helpful the grounds well kept. They have grills for cooking BBQ and all the restaurants in town are within walking distance. We tried several and all were decent. The is a real cool old school butcher shop in town that is a must stop. Right off the marina property is a wine bar over looking the marina, which we patronized and it was very nice. We will for sure come back here.

We love this marina and town! Very walkable and beautiful. The marina employees are so nice and helpful. We docked here a couple years ago as well and we will definitely be back. Great vibe⚓️

Wonderful as always!

Great town and great hospitality at the harbor. We will be back!

Beautiful marina, great facilities, friendly attentive staff. The charming downtown is steps from your boat. Will return any time we sail up this far.

Fine facility and helpful staff. Marina needs better WiFi because Verizon cellular network is nonexistent in Port Washington.

It was a quiet marina and so many places to eat and see within walking distance from the marina. I will enjoy going back in the future.

The marina staff at Port Washington are incredible!!! They anticipate your needs and are incredibly pleasant to interact with. They make a visit to the great town of Port Washington even better.

Good communication and friendly staff.

Nice Marina, close to town, clean heads, docks are decent, fuel is reasonably priced.

GREAT SLIP, EXCELLENT DOCK HANDS, BEST DIESEL PRICES, LOVE THE DOWNTOWN! GREAT HARBOR AND TOWN!

Our stay was great as usual thanks to Mia, Lisa and all the great folks on dock 1 making it another awesome year!

Best Port I have stayed at for over 20+ years

Docked in the inner basin. Very protected. Helpful staff.

Our stay in Port Washington was excellent! Beautiful harbor, excellent staff that was there to catch our lines for us at the slip. Everything was within walking distance. Beautiful town with great places to eat. I would highly recommend visiting Port Washington and staying at this marina.

Great service, all Around

Great marina! Wonderful little town.

always a welcoming place

Fantastic place. Nice marina and close to a lot of things to do.

Very clean facilities and very friendly and accommodating staff!

The marina is busy this time of year but we were assigned a perfect slip. The dock staff were excellent and virtually knew already how to tie up my sailboat the way I like it. Most significantly in my mind, the staff were working diligently, cleaning the restrooms and showers at 0600!

Clean and friendly.

Very clean. Super helpful staff.

Simply excellent. Great service and very helpful. A well run marina right in town, with numerous restaurants, a butcher shop, etc all within a few blocks. If you’re a fisherman, the numerous fishing charters were slaying salmon during our stay. Nice docks in a well protected harbor. Walking distance to town water park for kids and beaches. You’ll love it here!

Got moved around on day 2.No 50 amp service at the new location. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Very well protected harbor. At 50 ft long and 15 ft wide we had to squeeze through the channel to the West wall. Docking right downtown was nice, several restaurants around.

Great staff and easy to use

4 stars.

Thanks to the hard work of Lisa Rathke the season was well done. Events such as the open house and Venetian night were well prepared and attended. I can think of nothing more that could be done by this crew. Keep it up and see you next year.

Helpful, courteous and beautiful.

Incredibly friendly and accommodating staff at the marina

Nice faculty and great management

Very nice marina. Parking is getting tight but rates should stay low with the new developments for the city.

Clean, great staff well taken care of

******^^^^^^^€€€€€€€€^^

The dock in the beginning of the year through late June was covered in sea gull poop. My neighbor power washed the dock in early July, not sure why this was not done by Port Washington Marina.

The marina has a great team of employees who really care about their customers and the marina. They are always there to give guidance and help whenever it is needed.

Great location and wonderful people!

The marina is very nicely organized and quite secure. I wish we had a stronger internet system where I could conduct business on lap top more effectively. The strength of signal is generally weak except in a few areas. I wish the boaters lounge was larger and had a small business center.

As usual , a great season and experience

We always enjoy the harbor and the town!

Had everything we needed within walking distance

Excellent stay. The marina was easy to access and well-protected. Friendly staff. Clean facilities. Close to town and restaurants. It's definitely a recommended stop.

Good spot to lay over for a night after a bad weather day

Nice floating docks. Small boater lounge. Clean showers. Very nice helpful staff.

We love Port Washington Harbor. Very clean facilities and pleasant staff who are always willing to lend a hand. Great restaurants in town which is just two short blocks away.

first rate marina and very affordable. staff friendly and helpful. it gets my highest recommendation!

The staff was very helpful and attentive. The town is a short walk from the docks. A lot of dining options.

Very nice marina. 2 employees were at dock to help us dock easily. Check in and out process was very simple. Rest rooms and showers are very clean.

Great town to walk around. Marina is in good condition.

Great marina and walking distance to many restaurants.

Great stay here in September 2023. Super clean, friendly people, well-priced diesel. Walk to restaurants and bars. It's a bit of a drive to groceries though.

Nice folks, clean facilities, and a fun little town

The people are great!

Really nice! The dock was clean and my slip could hardly have been easier to find and get in to. I called before entering and the girl on the phone was very pleasant. She gave precise directions on finding my spot, which I find is a real skill, and certainly appreciated on my part.

Very nice. Clean. Fun little shops and food options

Excellent Marina and staff. Will be back next season!

A great marina with a friendly and helpful staff. The town and restaurants are also very nice.

Great little marina with a wonderful town within walking distance.

Nice Clean Marina great staff

Helpful staff - great marina and town! Wish we could have stayed longer!!

Nice facilities and great staff. Location on south wall is nice as we were adjacent to Rotary Park and had great view out to channel. Only problem was the long walk from there to facilities. Close to bars and rstaurants.

Great place everyone at the Marina were so friendly and helpful. The facilities were clean and well kept also very secure.

I should write a bad review so nobody will want to go there so we can get in when ever we want because we love the Marina! Just kidding of course! Love this place

Excellent in all respects!

Friendly, knowledge, and helpful staff! Very clean facilities and docking assistance.

Nice clean marina with excellent shower facilities. Easy walk to downtown and outstanding WiFi.

The amenities, location, and especially the staff were awesome!! We are for sure coming back, maybe even for a season. Port Washington is a town that caters to boaters. Lots of great restaurants to try and plenty to keep you busy. We greatly enjoyed our week long stay!

Friendly staff, clean facilities and close proximity to activities.

Great facility and accommodating staff.

Beautiful lakefront area, walkable with helpful and courteous marina staff. Lovely and clean beach south of the marina with sand banks.

Need a marina map that shows were slips are.

Second time visiting this marina. Great small town with very friendly people. The marina docks are nice and everything including restrooms are nice and clean as well. Lots of nice walking and biking in the area.

This marina is clean, easy, friendly, and is close to town.

Wonderful, Very clean

Very nice and quiet marina. Great getaway!

Very good overnight stay. We hailed the marina on radio and got our assignment as we were 2 miles out. Dock hands we waiting for us.

Love stopping in Port Washington. The marina staff is always friendly and accommodating. Everyone in town is so nice, we went for a walk and all the cars yielded to us as we crossed the street, that doesn't happen everywhere. It's a great place to visit.

Friendly accommodating staff. Beautiful marina.

This team was very responsive to my original reservation request as well as the couple of date change requests. They met my request to be on the West wall close to town and had our slit assignment ready while we were enroute. They were available by phone and channel VHF channel 9. Thank you guys!!! Walter

Very nice harbor with a friendly staff!

Great facilities, friendly staff!

Friendly staff. Great facilities. Loads of help. Will return.

Great employee's friendly and helpful

Accommodating and were able to answer any questions.

Nice facility, good communication before we pulled in. Great town, very picturesque. Highly recommended

Great. Stayed there all season.

Great marina in a wonderful town! We loved staying in the inner Basin so close to town!

Clean marina with friendly staff. Would stay again and would recommend to a friend.

Nice and friendly staff. Accomodating. Helpful docklands. Shops and food within walking distance. Clean marina area. Wifi was sporadic but they have just upgraded service and maybe still working out some issues.

Awesome staff, great town, recommended.

This is a must stop spot on the West side of the lake. Lovely marina, friendly and capable dockhands. Town is within walking distance and had some nice spots to eat close to marina

As always Lisa and her crew are always friendly and very helpful. We had a great trip, caught some nice fish and enjoyed time with friend.

The marina staff were super helpful and very friendly.

Very impressed with the marina, the town and the staff.

Only problem was that we requested twin 30 amp service. We were assured that it was but when we docked, it wasn’t. Clean marina and restroom/shower facilities

Nice stay. Everyone in office and dock staff was super helpful and pleasant. Great town, easy to walk anywhere. Definitely recommend.

Cute, Cute Cute. A very nice marina with everything you need. Clean all over. Lots of fishing charters coming and going. You are super close to restaurants and shops. Helpful and friendly staff. Nice pier head to walk and some nice parks close by. Check out Schooners, Twisted, and Fork and Tap.

Marina employees were professional, dining in the area was great. Pasta Shoppe, Tellos and Schooner’s was great. We will definitely be returning

We love this place! Very friendly people, walking distance to town, reasonably priced and clean!!! The staff is very friendly and helpful with anything you need! We will most definitely revisit this marina!!!

Port Washington is an awesome town the marina is pleasant, clean and secure. We had a too-ten meal at the Twisted Willow, a little over a block from our slip!

Friendly staff, knew how to handle lines, gave us some choices on docks. WiFi worked great. Everything was in good clean condition although you could say that the bathrooms were dated.

Always a fun time!

This is a clean and well maintained harbor. Cute little seaside town and lots of places to explore

Friendly staff, clean facility, clean restrooms and showers. Top notch!

Friendly staff & very nice marina

Fun, friendly place! Great location and the staff are top notch!

Clean and quiet, inexpensive with all the amenities, close to shops/restaurants

One of the prettiest marinas you’ll ever see. Well maintained and very clean. Extremely friendly people. Highly recommend you stay for a few days.

Wonderful marina with beautiful floral arrangements.

Beautiful marina with a great staff!

Beautiful Marina! Well landscaped in summer with flowers and in winter with lights, especially for Christmas. Very inviting atmosphere.

I thought you may enjoy a review from a tenant of over 25 years. With the help of an amazing staff and leadership from the Harbormaster and Assistant Harbormaster this beautiful marina has progressed to become one of the best on Lake Michigan.

Always a good place to visit!

Staff at the Marina were helpful and attentive. Well maintained facilities and had a pleasant stay. Will stay again.

Port Washington marina is always great. Super clean and close to town.

Very nice people, clean and beautiful facilities and town. Very well protected marina. Would have liked better WIFI signal.

Great facilities, Very clean. One of our favorites

Port Washington Marina is the best. They are wonderful and accommodating and have the best staff.

People, people covering the Marina just super and so helpful and just nice! Lisa the Asst Mgr great lady, Mea great, Tim, Joe and the crew was great. It was a 10 day stay and the rates were very good and the town is quaint. Groceries too far to walk. Seems limited transient slips vs wall for larger boats. Would definite return...sooo hospitable

Super friendly and helpful staff. Very conveinent downtown location and well protected.

Great location in the town as everything is a walk away. Their internet wasn’t working at my dock and Verizon has ZERO reception, so plan accordingly if you have work to do.

Port Washington Municipal Marina is one of my favorite stops while summer cruising. Located adjacent to the town center is is surrounded by Wonderfull eating establishments and fun stores. The marina staff is professional and friendly. The facilities are wonderfully maintained as well as the bath facilities. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Great staff! Lovely amenities and well sheltered. Good location too.

The stay at the port was GREAT as always. My brother and I come every year and rent a slip for a week long excursion to go salmon fishing. Do to the wave conditions we had to dock fish several days of our vacation but this is not controlled by the Marina. "Wish they could" The weather did not cooperate this year and was not able to go out as much as we wanted to because of the waves. I want to thank the port staff for their hospitality, friendliness and cooperation in assisting with our needs. We got behind on checking out by the required time and they graciously allowed us a few additional hours to pack up and get the boat out of the slip. Glad I was able to help out a few fishermen with the disposable Styrofoam coolers that I brought in for them to give away free to the needy ones.

What happened to your portcam? Miss it very, very much. Please restore it.

It was looking like we were going to arrive late, so I called the marina and told them we were due around 6pm - the marina said there would be people around until 9pm - which was great. They also suggested that we called on channel 16 when we got close and they would help with docking - which they did and that was very helpful. The marina was clean and tidy with good amenities and close to the center of town. It was a Tuesday so there was very limited people around.

Great marina. Very clean restrooms. Spacious slips. Plenty of parking. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Can't wait to go back!

Allie was wonderful the marina was clean and safe. We will be back next week!

Great staff great amenities

The Port Washington Marina is always top notch in the way of service and friendliness. This is our 4th year to stay there a week at each stay.

Awesome place and people

Loved the stay. Marina was basic, but friendly staff and a nice town.

Fun stop. Always the least expensive for diesel fuel. Fun town. Duluth Trading right in town

The grounds, staff, and boaters were all very nice. My wife and I look forward to visiting again in the near future. The town was clean with plenty of shopping and eating establishments. I would recommend Port Washington to anyone.

Marina staff was great. Maintenance is an A+. There was always crew cleaning or organizing something. Fuel docks and harbor office open at 5:30am. Good restaurants and shops in walking distance. Only suggestion for improvement would be to encourage local businesses and town to set up some public wifi.

Great service. Love the Marina

Great place love Port Washington!! Only thing that could be better is the key system. Having to turn them in at office and get back into the gate. Otherwise we always love Port Washington

Nice marina. Good folks. Close to a great downtown. They loose points for not having an effective or convenient way to drop gate keys outside of normal biz hours. It’s just silly to. It have Simone drop box INSIDE dock entrance.

Nice facilities. Friendly, and helpful staff.

Fog kept us there an extra day. Wi-Fi was terrible. CATV signal was weaker than the over-the-air signal with an antenna. The shops and restaurants on Franklin and the New Port restaurant were great. I hope when they stop tearing down and building residential buildings in the area things will be better.

Clean and friendly. Staff was very helpful meeting us at the dock

Nice marina with friendly, helpful staff. Nice walk into town for good pizza at John’s. Even great, talented live music from adjacent restaurant in the evening!

This was our second stay here. Overall the facilities are excellent clean and the staff is great and the location can not be beat.

Beautiful marina. Bathrooms just a bit under par.

Still here and loving it.

Port Washington is a 1st class marina with up to date facilities.
