Excellent marina in Eagle Harbor is the Top Choice for the discriminating yachtsman…read more THE ROSES: Excellent physical plant: docks and support facilities are kept in tip-top condition. Harbormaster and staff helpers are efficient and courteous. Restroom/showers are always wonderfully clean, and the facility boasts a nice laundry facility with two large washers and four dryers. Facility has very good security, and they do a good job of keeping any riff-raff away. There are a couple excellent restaurants (Doc's, Harbor House) literally steps away if you don't feel like eating onboard. THE THORNS: No big slips, so if your yacht is over 45', you may be out of luck. THE VERDICT: Honestly, this facility is about as good as it gets. Transient moorage rates are a titch steep, but for what you're getting, it's a good value. Recommend!

I visited here for lunch at Pidgin Cooperative, a co-op restaurant that I would visit again! At the back of the building are docks for working vessels. During the summer months, as you drive in, there are hand written signs promising the freshest fish in the area, so you can buy just-caught fish right from the boat! You can also walk around and enjoy the view of the water, which is perfect for whetting your appetite or for walking off a huge meal. In the autumn, the terminal hosts the annual Fishermen's Fall Festival. There's a free private lot out in front for parking, although there is some construction occasionally.

I received notice from the marina office that "all of our fenders were failing and in need of replacement." Actually, one fender was under-inflated. When our boat became dirty, as happens over the winter, the marina asked us to use their preferred yacht detailing company - that company was impossible to get a hold of via phone; basically a sign-up now and cancel later company which, according to their website would have cost more than $1000. A simple hose and scrub brush took care of it. It's a noisy marina and water is rough due to ferry and other traffic.

A first timer to this bay. Met up with a friend whose friend had a 15-foot Alaskan Smoker Craft,…read moreso we all decided to meet up at the boat launch at 6:00 AM on Friday morning. The line going into the boat docking area was super packed! Probably had to wait in line for 20+ boaters to get to the boat launch area before it was our turn. I think it took about 30 minutes or so... Once we were able to get the boat into the water and get going, it was a very scenic and peaceful atmosphere. The views were great, temperature was just right and water was pleasant. When we arrived at our preferred fishing spot, we prepared our bait, tossed in our lines and trolled. After a minute, the fishing pole got the first fish on! My friend reeled in a Chinook Jack. Released it. Then after baiting the first fishing pole and casting, not even a minute later, hooked on another fish. This time it was a Coho, but as the line got closer to the boat, the fish came off. Afterwards, we were able to get both fishing poles set up and ready to go. I was next to get a fish on and reeled in a nice Adult Coho for my first catch of the day! Not long after that, I got hooked on another fish and reeled the second Coho. We trolled around the water for a bit before I got another fish, but lost it 10 feet away from the boat as it came off. I believe we were in the water for 5 hours. During that time, I was able to land 5 out of 7 fish. My friend landed one big Coho out of 4 of his bites. Limited out with 6 fish, so we were happy about that. All in all, it was a decent experience as my first time boat fishing. Learned a lot while enjoying the bites in the water. There were a whole lot of boaters on this day.

Eventually someone simply stole the adapter for the power cord, which cost me over $60 to replace and which they did not bother to recompense despite the fact that the place is supposedly secure. I suspect that the management was actually responsible for it going missing - either taking it away from me completely, or it falling in the water when they came by to unplug the power I was using (and paying them for). To make matters even worse, the covered slips are absolutely INFESTED with massive spiders. Really an unfathomable number of them. I understand that there are always a lot of spiders near the water, but it was to the point that I couldn't even stand to walk down any part of the covered slips, with literally thousands of giant spiders only inches from my head. Unfortunately, Boatworld has a monopoly on most of the marinas on that strip of Lake Union.

No liveaboards, no guest moorage. there is a 24 hour keycode to a simple clean but dark lavatory (that chronically smells of refried beans from the restaurant above) and shower for marina users and no other facilities at the docks, but you are within a mile of a lot of great boat and hardware stores (fisherman's supply, and hardwicks), and a 10 minute walk to a bizillion restaurants on university ave. and, it is a fantastic location if you work at the UW or university hospital. some small boat slots are against the shore, and thus not very secure, but it's a pretty good neighborhood -- somewhat surprisingly, undergrads that maraud nearby neighborhoods do not seem to bother the boats. (maybe some inebriated survival instinct is at play there?) the big drawback on this place is the parking. you can pay an extra $30/month or so for a pass to the adjacent lot, but it is only good for 4 hours, 24 hours a day. on top of the 'highest moorage rate in the city', another $30 starts to get annoying, though not totally out of line. for longer parking, there is paid daily parking about 2 blocks away. they also have a couple funky, no-power, no-gate cheaper slots about a block to the west, but i suspect these are available pretty rarely. maybe i'm just having trouble dealing with change, but it kind of cranks me to have to pay $30 in parking every time i take the boat out for the weekend -- and not even get to park at the dock. at that rate, fishermans terminal, shilshoe, everett and edmonds are all looking better and better, so i think my days at boat street are numbered. if you're looking for mega cheap, check out port of brownsville - under $150 for 32'. but getting there practically requires organizing a safari...it is so inaccessible to the city. keyword: moorage
