The quality has been good and where there's ever been any issue they make it right. I do recommend being very clear about what you want though, especially if you're a remote owner like we are.

We had a Mercury motor bulletin service issue to address, and our boat is moored in Anacortes while we live out of town. North Harbor Diesel was by far the most responsive of all the qualified service providers we contacted. We left our keys with them, and once the parts arrived, they promptly took action and handled everything: moved the boat, hauled it out, completed the service, and returned it to our slip on the same day and stayed communicative the whole process. They did it all with a high level of professionalism that stands out. Highly recommend!

He is also a bit rare in that he will take the time to explain things and work with you to expand your own knowledge. With my newer boat, he immediately knew good details of my engine/trans make and what to look forward to/pre-emptively fix going forward to ensure multiple years of future use. Randy is also great at returning calls! I gladly recommend Randy and NW Marine to other boat owners.

The marina is fairly well protected from weather, the fairways are generous and the staff helps you tie up. The docks are in good condition. Lighting is adequate at night (not too little, but more importantly, not too much!), power pedestals are in good condition. Water is from a reverse osmosis system, so you need to be careful with your usage. No boat washing, which is fine. The general store and cafe are awesome. Good food, essential supplies and good business hours. Restrooms are clean and spacious. Hand dryers but no paper towels, which is okay but not great. Laundry facility is clean with good equipment. Nearby food is very good but limited. There is a pizza place directly across from the marina - limited hours. The BBQ place up the street (10-minute walk) is fantastic and has a good selection of beer, a full bar and a huge outdoor seating area. Overall, the vibe is relaxed. There are some party floats for yacht club events.

There's also a nice spot to grab a light bite to eat, complete with a market inside stocked with grocery items. Even if you drop by without a specific plan, it's a peaceful and charming location well worth a visit!
