The marina features a public fishing pier and over a mile of public promenade to enjoy the breathtaking views of the Olympic Mountains and Puget Sound. Located to the north of the marina is a public boat ramp, another fishing pier, and beautiful Golden Gardens Park .

Boat Security

As with any Port of Seattle Property, such as the Airport, Container, and Cruise terminals, security does matter – a lot – even at Shilshole Bay Marina! The staff and management at Shilshole Bay Marina work hard to provide as much security as we can by maintaining locking gates; good lighting both on the docks and in the parking lot; and well maintained walkways and landscaping. Nonetheless, wherever there are valuables to be had, criminals will find ways to breach security measures to get to them.

Recently, we received a report from a Harbor Island Marina customer who had his boat broken into twice in two weeks, and the boat owner suffered property loss and damage. Each time, the customer reported the incidents to Port of Seattle Police, then reported it to the marina, allowing us the opportunity to help make the marina safer. We were then able to make modifications to some of the gates to reduce illegal access and post “Security Alert” signs asking people to report any suspicious activity to the Police, while increasing Police patrols

But even with all these security measures, this alone will never be enough to guarantee that your boat will be safe from criminals. The good news is that boat owners can implement some of their own security measures to reduce potential loss. We recently surveyed some boat owners on the subject of boat security and they gave some good ideas which we have listed below. Security recommendations:

  • Lock all hatches internally
  • Leave lights and/or radio on or on timers
  • Use floor mat alarms or other alarms
  • Use locking bolts for outboards, etc.
  • Engrave all valuable and electronics with your driver’s license number
  • Spray paint items with conspicuous colors (hot pink kicker motor)
  • Get to know your neighbors and watch each others boats
  • Attend the quarterly Dock Captains Meetings – Everyone is welcome – and ‘Security Matters’ is a standing agenda item

Lastly, do call the Police and marina management immediately following any suspicious or criminal incident. You would be surprised how many incidents go unreported, and that makes it almost impossible to address security problems effectively.
