Elliott Bay Marina…read more We stopped by Elliott Bay Marina to get information about docking when we cruise north from Los Angeles to Washington with our motor yacht, @pacificpearlyacht. Ray went into the marina office and had the opportunity to speak with Brice, the harbormaster. He was incredibly nice, welcoming, and very knowledgeable. He took the time to explain the marina layout, guest accommodations, and what to expect seasonally, which immediately made us feel comfortable and confident about arriving by water. The marina itself is beautiful and well positioned, with approximately 1,200 slips and guest accommodations for traveling boats. Brice explained that during the summer months there is a lot of movement with boats coming in and out, and that winter docking is typically manageable as well, even though many owners keep their boats in place due to the colder weather. Overall, it was a very positive and reassuring experience. We're looking forward to our next visit--next time arriving from the water side, which is the plan. Highly recommend Elliott Bay Marina for anyone cruising into Seattle.

The price was negotiated before we looked at it with the caveat that the boat was in good condition. They also signed a letter of intent on price with a new trailer vs. using one they had there. Experience when we got there to test drive was great and kid that took us out on the water was super nice. However when we pulled the boat out to look at the hull (when they said boat was in good condition), the entire outdrive was very chewed up (more than just the skeg itself). Parker who was the salesman kind of just dismissed us saying we couldn't make a deal that day (for various reasons) and went back on the letter of intent price we had in writing for both the boat (couple hundred bucks difference) and the new trailer price (couple thousand dollars difference). He said he would call the next morning and never did. Something must have happened with him going back on what he personally wrote in writing vs. what he said that day however having multiple dishonest practices is enough for me to not do business with them.

Eventually someone simply stole the adapter for the power cord, which cost me over $60 to replace and which they did not bother to recompense despite the fact that the place is supposedly secure. I suspect that the management was actually responsible for it going missing - either taking it away from me completely, or it falling in the water when they came by to unplug the power I was using (and paying them for). To make matters even worse, the covered slips are absolutely INFESTED with massive spiders. Really an unfathomable number of them. I understand that there are always a lot of spiders near the water, but it was to the point that I couldn't even stand to walk down any part of the covered slips, with literally thousands of giant spiders only inches from my head. Unfortunately, Boatworld has a monopoly on most of the marinas on that strip of Lake Union.

The docks are new and in great condition. The facilities are well-maintained. There are usually volunteer dock helpers around to answer questions who are very nice. The dock features multiple free pump out stations. There is also a superb boat ramp and ample short-term dock space to park your boat while your parking your truck/trailer. Overnight moorage fees are very reasonable (50 cents/foot, $5 a day for power [30 and 50 amp]. There is a pay station that takes credit cards, so you don't have to fumble around for cash. The City Dock is a short walk away from downtown Bainbridge, which is to Seattle what Marin County is to San Franscisco: bursting to the seams with twee boutiques and expensive eateries. THE THORNS: The electrical power situation is frustrating. We couldn't get power because the main breaker was constantly tripping. I was told by one of the dock volunteers that their system was very unstable and had been giving them fits; fortunately we have a big house battery bank and a genset. It is also important to note that this marina is NOT secure; anyone can wander around at any time of the day or night. I wouldn't be concerned about this except for the presence of a really sketchy vagrant wandering around the area. Fortunately the dock volunteers are good about interacting with the folks and figuring out who belongs and who doesn't. Still, don't leave your $800 Steiner binoculars or iPad laying around for people to see. ROSE OR THORN, DEPENDING ON YOUR SITUATION: Bainbridge City Dock only allows a maximum of two nights moorage. On the plus side, this ensures lots of dock space turnover and no 'campers'. On the other hand, if you are looking to stay in the area for more than a couple of days, you'll have to alternate time on the City Dock with anchoring out in the harbor or looking for transient moorage at the much more expensive (but well-maintained and secure) Winslow Wharf Marina. THE VERDICT: Good facility in a protected harbor that offers short-term moorage at a giveaway price. Don't be in a position where you NEED power, though; you might not get it.
