Explore Roche Harbor: US Harbors’ Best Pacific Harbor of 2025

Roche Harbor, WA, is a beloved destination for Pacific Northwest boaters. Tucked into the sheltered waterways of Washington’s San Juan Islands, Roche Harbor offers a world-class marina, historic charm, and a family-like atmosphere that brings people together year after year.

In a recent article from our friends at Best4Boats, Roche Harbor is celebrated as “the ultimate Northwest marina destination”, so it comes as no surprise that voters crowned it as the Best Harbor in the Pacific Region in US Harbors’ 2025 Best Harbor contest.

With over 400 available slips, a wide-range of shoreside activities, and award-winning restaurants, there’s more than enough to justify staying beyond just one night. Best4Boats takes a closer look at what makes Roche Harbor “an essential stop for boaters cruising the Salish Sea.”
