Port of Everett Marina: A Complete Guide to the West Coast’s Largest Public Marina

By Dawn Anderson, best4boats.

With 2,300 slips and over 3,000 acres of waterfront — more than half open to the public — the Port of Everett Marina in Washington State has quietly grown into one of the Pacific Northwest’s most complete boating destinations. A thorough new guide from Best4Boats covers everything a visiting boater needs to know, from guest moorage rates and fuel discounts to waterfront dining, trails, and the unique two-mile-long Jetty Island just offshore. For cruisers planning a Puget Sound itinerary, Everett deserves serious consideration as a multi-day stopover.

As Dawn Anderson writes for Best4Boats:

Whether you’re fixing your commercial tug, pulling in by recreational boat or rolling in by car, the Port of Everett has quietly become a top waterfront destination in the Pacific Northwest. The recreational marina is home to 2,300 slips, making it the largest public marina on the West Coast. Spanning more than 3,000 acres – with more than half dedicated to public access – there’s plenty of room to explore. Nestled along Puget Sound with views of the Olympic Mountains and Jetty Island, the multi-zone marina is buzzing with great food, unique drinks, and plenty of reasons to stick around – or come back.

Practical details for visiting boaters: over 5,000 lineal feet of guest moorage is available first-come, first-served or by reservation through DockWA, with summer rates at $2 per foot per night. Stays under four hours before 10 PM are free. The fuel dock offers diesel and non-ethanol unleaded, with 10 cents off per gallon every Tuesday. A 75-ton and 55-ton Travelift serve the six-acre boatyard, and the 13-lane boat launch at 10th Street is the largest in Washington state. Anderson’s guide also covers the waterfront restaurant scene in detail — from Anthony’s HomePort to Scuttlebutt Brewing — along with trails, public art, seasonal events like the Sail-in Cinema, and access to Jetty Island’s beaches and kiteboarding.
