Shipyard Cove
Shipyard Cove Marina sits on the western edge of Friday Harbor, tucked into a historically rich corner of San Juan Island where the old Albert Jensen and Sons Boatyard once shaped wooden hulls. You'll find 135 permanent year-round slips ranging from 20 to 50 feet, plus side-tie space for larger vessels, making this a well-established base for exploring the island's whale-watching waters and the walkable shops and restaurants of Friday Harbor just minutes away.
