I’m rooting for the home team. Port Hadlock Marina is a well-managed port that takes care of its tenants. Pollution is minimal, no big ships belching oil. I tell ya, nothing like a being in the middle of a diesel slick in the nearby marina to make you appreciate a clear place to call home. There is marine growth but that’s par for the course around here. Plenty of amenities. Ample parking. Starry nights. Only 1 or 2 live aboards left. You can spend 4 or 5 nights in your boat though if you don’t leave much, but it’s really easy to get in and out of. Plenty of places to sail to. Gateway to the San Juans that’s for sure. I applaud Lisa and Bob for being great communicators, being fair and making a commitment to the environment.

We stayed at the wonderful hotel next-door. Apparently these paranoid weirdos with Port Hadlock Marina are terrified of the people paying $300 a night walking across their ugly gravel parking lot. The “no trespassing” signs they have erected and so many security cameras is one of the stupidest things I have ever seen. What happened to you to make you this way?

I have been in the Hadlock marina many times over the last 15 years, as I have friends and associates who have kept their boat there. In general the facilities are in good shape, the approach to the marina at low tide can be very shallow (I have gone aground to the west of the marina). The docks are solid and the location is fairly well protected from prevailing winds.
There is no guest moorage or fuel dock facility. Like many marinas in the area, there is likely a waitlist for any size boat. No real reason to stop here unless you have a slip. Slip rates are slightly more expensive than other marinas nearby.
I have never been impressed with my interactions with staff or management at this facility, however. I have called on behalf of a friend to report evident damage to the docks (rub strip damage and two cleats that needed to be replaced, reported in 2021) and did not receive a call back or acknowledgement in any way. I have had friends (boat owners) report getting confronted that they don't belong down there - the attitude seems to be 'shoot first ask questions later' from the management.
I'm not in the business of making money off of google map reviews. This is a good place to keep your boat, with caveats.

Beautiful Marina.

I bought a boat moored in this marina. The lady that manages it has to be the most obstinate unhelpful person I've spoken to across all the Marinas in the sound. I hope to never have to deal with her or this marina again.
