Port of Port Townsend, Boat Haven

I can't believe others have rated this place highly. They must have extremely low expectations …read more First off, the started hours say they are open until 1630 but in fact they close at 1615. Over $65 for a guest slip which was difficult to reserve at the kiosk due to a terrible system combining a parking kiosk, a paper list of available slips, and no obvious way to pay for power which is course cost extra. To add to this less than stellar experience, they have a porta potty that, as they generally are, was absolutely disgusting and not well maintained at all. Took forever to find the slip. Nothing is well labeled, no obvious map at the fuel pump, and the least intuitive numbering schema I've ever witnessed. Two other boaters I kept passing were just as lost having to make unnecessary maneuvers while searching for their assigned slip. Epic fail. I wouldn't dock my boat there again if it were sinking and that was the only way to save it.

I went with a friend to help clean the bottom of his yacht at Port of Port Townsend Boat Haven,…read more arriving Friday 1pm to an array of beautiful vessels along the docks toward our location it was such a clean and professional atmosphere. We spend the weekend here working nonstop and felt very safe and secure here. There are many restaurants and convenience stores nearby for everyday grabs. Staff was very professional and did such a stand up job. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Can't wait to back home now! Thank you guys!

I contacted Haven Boatworks 6 months prior to my haulout date. I was in contact with a "systems"…read moremanager. I paid a $3,000 deposit and presented a list of work, that I was assured could be addressed. I have a large sailboat and stressed the need for scaffolding, which I was assured would not be a problem. The scaffolding used, referred to as pyramid scaffolding, took almost 5 days to put in place. I was told by this systems manager, that metal scaffolding, which I have used for every haulout for the last 18 years, doesn't work because it cannot be curved around the boat, which is not true. Expensive to erect, too close to the boat in some places, and too far from the boat in others, was a disastrous nightmare for the entire time I was on the hard. Towards the end of the first week, with no progress toward the major projects started, as I only had 30 days available, I ask for a short meeting with this systems manager. He assured me that all the work could be completed. As my anxiety grew, I was given workers for a few of the minor issues. The days passed, and I began to realize I needed to concentrate on simply getting the boat back in the water in sufficient condition to return home. None of the major projects were addressed; only more excuses as to why they could not be completed before launch. Presently I am looking for local companies to help with the (mess) that I sailed home with. Right at $3,000 for haulout / in, and moorage on port property went to the PT Port, along with a significant invoice from Haven, and a long list of headaches yet to be completed, is the way I left PT. During my stay on the hard I talked to other boat owners that had similar experiences with Haven. I STRONGLY recommend not considering Haven Boatworks for any maintenance repair.

Better than new! Sarah was great to work with, from providing detailed bid information and keeping…read moreus updated on their progress. Justin was excellent in terms of his thoughtfulness with regard to the upgrades he recommended and measurements. The restepping was straightforward and everything fit perfectly. We have owned our Beneteau 361 since new and with the rigging at 24 years old just beginning to worry about a failure. Although not inexpensive it is great to have the peace of mind that our rig is secure and ready to take on the weather and waves that the Northwest has to throw our way. Thanks to Sarah and her crew for an excellent re-rigging.

Last summer, Justin at Port Townsend Rigging performed a rig inspection for our 30' cutter…read moresailboat. He said the rigging wire was showing signs of age, which was over 20 years of age, and he recommended it be replaced if we planned to go offshore. I scheduled the rigging wire replacement with Port Townsend Rigging for early March 2025. They performed the work while the boat was in the water at their dock in Boat Haven. Justin and his team completed the work in a couple of weeks. I am delighted with their work. The work was thorough and professional. Tensioning the whisker stays of the bowsprit is a challenge because of the close fitting gammon iron. It's easy to damage the bowsprit paint if not tensioned correctly. Justin's careful attention to detail paid off because he insured the whisker stays were tensioned evenly so as to keep the bowsprit centered while tensioning. It was also easy to work with Sarah on obtaining an estimate, scheduling and final invoicing. The invoice was higher than the estimate partly because I had requested the running back stays and topping lift rope rigging be replaced, which were not on the estimate. Sarah helped me understand the other additional costs that were not included the estimate, which involved replacing the whisker stays and bob stay wire. The estimate and final invoice were close if the additional costs were not factored in. I have worked with Port Townsend Rigging since we launched our cutter 20 years ago when they installed the mast and the original rig. I have used them ever since, and I have always be happy with the services they provide. I highly recommend them.
