Bremerton Marina
About
Bremerton Marina is one of Puget Sound's best-value moorage options, and its location on the Kitsap Peninsula gives it a unique advantage: the Washington State Ferry terminal is a five-minute walk from the docks, with regular service to Seattle's Colman Dock. For crews joining partway through a cruise, or skippers who need to get to the city without moving the boat, this is unbeatable convenience. The marina sits at the foot of downtown Bremerton, which has improved considerably in recent years. The USS Turner Joy destroyer museum is dockside. The Naval Undersea Museum is nearby. For cruisers heading into Liberty Bay, Port Orchard, or the southern Kitsap inlets, Bremerton makes an excellent base. Rates are among the lowest for a fully-served marina on the Sound.

Anchoring in Pacific Northwest Waters
Twelve-foot tides, four-knot current in the passes, kelp on every shoreline, and a wind that can shift through three quadrants while you sleep. PNW anchoring is its own discipline.
