Visitor Information

 

Eagle Harbor Yacht Club welcomes visiting boaters, especially those from reciprocal yacht clubs, to Eagle Harbor, Bainbridge Island,  just 6 miles west of Seattle across the Puget Sound.  Bainbridge Island has a rich history of lumber mills, sailing and power boat construction, and even strawberry farms!  Today Eagle Harbor is a busy recreational and commercial harbor that is just a few minute's walk from downtown Winslow with it’s interesting shops, fine restaurants and of course, it’s waterfront Pub.

For reciprocal moorage information please contact Dave LaFave, both Secretary of the EHYC, and Marine Manager of Winslow Wharf Marina, located on the north side of the harbor at “4” on the adjacent chart.

 

Marina Office Number (206) 842-4202.

Home Office Number (206) 855-4159.

Visiting boats may otherwise moor at the City Dock or the Linear Moorage, or alternatively anchor within the area shown on the map in the Middle Harbor.

Vessels may not anchor north of Pritchard Park due to the Super Fund Cap in place there.

Vessels may anchor or moor in the Inner harbor only with the permission of the tideland owners in that area.

                The Speed Limit in all of Eagle Harbor is 5 knots/No Wake,

starting west of the green  No.5 navigation buoy near the ferry terminal.  The only exception to this regulation is that powered, wakeless support boats for rowing shells are allowed for coaching and safety reasons. 

Visiting boaters should keep a careful watch for theses rowing shells, kayakers, as well as the large ferries who have right-of-way as they enter or leave Eagle Harbor.  Unlike most harbors, boaters are advised to stay west and south of the ferries as they enter, keeping close to green dolphins No.1 and 3, and then Buoy No. 5.

Otherwise the only grounding hazards are the reef off Wing Point that extends southwards and the shallow water around Bill Point and north of Pritchard Park.

On behalf of the Eagle Harbor Yacht Club, we hope that you will

enjoy your visit to beautiful Bainbridge Island!
