La Conner Marina is a great place for boaters and visitors…read more The marina features extensive covered moorage on 8 docks, two large guest docks, clean and comfortable restrooms, large laundry facility, two pumpout machines (one on each guest dock) and expensive outdoor/lawn/picnic space. Most of the slips feature finger piers on both sides of the boat, making this a very desirable location for covered moorage. As such, expect a long waitlist that could have you waiting for two or three years. Plenty of parking even when they host large events like the 4th of July celebration. Staff is friendly, courteous and very responsive to inquiries and issues. I haven't reviewed the RV park, as I haven't stayed there, but as a casual observer, the park is clean, reasonably lit without being too bright, close to the restrooms and laundry, and a short walk from town.

I'm updating my previous review of the La Conner Marina (see below) to now include having spent two…read morefun weekends at the adjacent RV Park. The first weekend was last summer, and the second one was this past weekend when we "glamped" there to once again meet up with friends who were docked at the marina for the weekend. The RV park is definitely no frills. The sites are close together, the trees are few and far between, and the sites don't include picnic tables or firepits. But they are all full-hookup, the park is well maintained and quiet, and you can't beat the sweet streets of downtown La Conner being just a quick walk (or even quicker drive) down the street. There's also a bathhouse with toilets and showers, all of which were immaculately clean. (You can get the door code from the campground host at RV Site #1.)

I also had the do several other projects while my boat was in their yard - new cabin door, fiberglass repair, new toilet in head, some electrical clean up, new electronics.

Only a dozen folks on board and you can see everything from your seat thru big open windows.

I contacted Fresh Start Marine Detail 6/27/23 to have my 05 24'Searay sundeck detailed. Gordon…read moretells me to send him a deposit and he will have boat detailed on 7/3/23 or 7/7/23 whichever I prefer. I select 7/3 for detail and send my $407.00 deposit. Day of scheduled detail 7/3 Fresh Start is a no show no call nothing, I finally text Gordon and he tells me they are busy and he plans to get my boat done in late afternoon and he will keep me posted. I go back to boat nxt morning no detail, no show, no call, no txt, nothing. I wait several days until the next scheduled detail date Gordon quoted 7/7/23 and no show, no call, no txt, nothing again. I finally get a txt from Gordon late afternoon 7/8/23 saying they are going to detail my boat 7/9/23 and that he is sorry for delay. Im out of the area that day but return in the eve 9pm anticipating checking out my freshly detailed boat finally. Upon arrival at boat I find the cover off, Fresh starts power washer inside boat on upholstery still connected to water line that is on and dripping all over boat, orbital polishing machine, numerous detailing supplies etc all strewn about the boat and about 1/4 of the side of boat polished. I call up Gordon and say what the heck, why isnt the boat detailed and why is my cover off overnight with your equipment and supplies all over the place?? He replies with " we had to leave because they were closing marina" and " I'm not sure what your concern is ?" I check the marinas awesome surveillance video cameras to see if Gordons story checks out. I find Gordons crew arrives at aprox 1pm leaves at 3pm doest even come close to even 1/2 completion of boat and leaves aprox 4 hrs before marina closes. I txt and call Gordon and request tha a refund of deposit because of several missed scheduled dates and unprofessionally leaving cover off overnight and careless storage of his equipment in the interior of boat. Gordon tells me he will not refund deposit because his crew has completed over 3/4 of detail. I say boat is not even 1/2 completed, Gordon says he will meet me the next morning at 8am to discuss the matter. next morning Gordon is a no show,no text,no call,nothing. I call Gordon again and request a refund of deposit and ask that he pick up his equipment and do no further work on my boat. To date Gordon and Fresh Start Marine have not responded to communication on refund of deposit they did however come and remove there equipment and leave boat 1/4 of the way completed. These guys at Fresh start Marine are a joke, completely unprofessional and straight up lied about the duration of time spent on boat, video cameras don't lie! I would stay far and clear from Fresh Start Marine Detail!

I've been whale watching off the California coast before, so I'm going to compare this experience…read moreto that. This ended up more of a pleasant boat ride than whale watching as we didn't get to see any orcas (such a bummer!) and only got to see one single, elusive Humpback whale name Victory. I can't fault the tour for that, but it definitely impacts the experience. It was still a nice boat ride, with friendly staff onboard and the fortunate luck of sitting at the back of the boat next to a conservationist-led tour group with a lot of knowledge shared. On the brighter side, the weather was beautiful and we got to see two kinds of puffin and some sea lions as well. Just wish we got to see whales, instead of just one.
