The entire staff was…read moreexceptionally knowledgeable, respectful, and courteous, always treating every customer with genuine care. Their ability to solve problems efficiently and thoughtfully truly sets them apart, ensuring our Carver 530 Voyager Pilothouse was repaired and serviced with the utmost attention and expertise. The facilities are clean, modern, and well-maintained, making it a pleasure to dock and spend time at the marina. I especially appreciated the clear communication and timely updates throughout the entire process. Whether you're a seasoned boater or just starting out, I highly recommend Gig Harbor Boatyard and Marina for their professionalism, excellent problem-solving skills, and welcoming atmosphere.

The tow boat driver said he had towed many other boats that week, who had just filled at Narrows, and their boats also mysteriously died. Side Note: Marina staff is needlessly rude, nearly to the point of being violent. Some youngish man who claimed to have been the manager for 15 years (though he hardly looked old enough) was belligerent, and rude. Should in my face like he was trying to start a bar fight. I got out of there as fast as I could! My guess is they know there is something wrong with their fuel, and they are getting defensive about it.

While the staff members are nice and proved to be fairly helpful, Scott the person who runs it is about as dishonest as they come.

We chose to move out of there and paid Scott to remove it. This was never done and he kept the money. He's great at making threats for financial gain.

This is a small island along the Fox Island Bridge, originally known as "Towhead Island" since its…read morepurpose was for the toll booth back in the day. These days its used as a boat launch for motor boats, kayaks, paddle boards, and canoes into the Puget Sound. When driving towards Fox Island, its location will be pretty obvious since you can pull into the small piece of land right before entering the island. With it, there's an area to park your car and a small beach area that varies based off of the tide. It's super convenient for boat launching since there is no long walk to drag your boat and you can pretty much back park your car to get it into the water quicker. Parking spots are unmarked, as it's unpaved so use your best judgement when there are other cars. It gets pretty tricky to get out of the island when there are a lot of cars around, especially during popular times like 4th of July. Other con is that it's kind of in the middle of no where, so no bathroom/facilities. Still, it's convenience for boat launches and its view make it a nice place to stop by while visiting. I especially like watching the sunsets in Gig Harbor from this island whether I drive to it or walk to it using the bridge pedestrian sidewalk. This area is also really nice for watching the fireworks during 4th of July, since it's a popular spot for watching the waterfront houses and private piers launch their own sets of fireworks. It really illuminates the Puget Sound and gives you a good view of all the different fireworks being launched. Though be sure to come pretty early as parking is hard to get, and even if you do get good parking it may be awhile before you can leave, due to people parking behind you. Also beware of folks launching fireworks at this island - you'll have that group of people that aren't being safe and may cause the fireworks to shoot sideways towards you or your car. This happens every year, where some idiot doesn't secure their fireworks before lighting only to have it go sideways and make everyone else hit the deck. Again, nice little spot on the Fox Island Bridge for viewing the Puget Sound.
