Shilshole Bay Marina offers incredible access to Puget Sound and stunning views of the Olympic Mountains. With amenities like a fuel dock, ship’s store, restrooms, showers, and free parking, it’s a seamless experience for members. Just steps from Ray’s Boathouse and Golden Gardens Park, it’s easy to turn a boating day into a full outing. Members frequently head out from here to explore Blake Island, Bainbridge, Gig Harbor, Tacoma, and Poulsbo. For longer trips, like to the San Juans, members often opt to launch from the Bellingham location to maximize time at their destination.
We make the boating life fun and easy! Owning a boat is a lot of work and costs add up quickly. At Carefree Boat Club, you get all the benefits of boating without the hassle. Our affordable membership options connect you with the boats you want and get you out on the water with family and friends sightseeing, swimming, wakeboarding, fishing, and more while we handle the logistics and maintenance.
