Deception Pass Marina

I call it the «Cheers» marina. It has good fuel (diesel and gas, cheap!), a nice store, ice, fishing gear, hot coffee, and everybody knows your name. It’s nice to walk the dock and visit with the locals and you can find out where to fish and where to go in the San Juan’s. It’s a great place to hide out from bad weather or to stay while waiting for slack water at Deception Pass. It’s a place you don’t want to miss on your way home from the islands or going to the islands. I highly recommend it!

Friends of mine were going to dock overnight at this marina, just recently. Shortly after tying up to the dock, and paying the fee, they saw a small boat coming up to the dock area very fast, causing a great wake. Now anyone enjoying boating, knows that you don’t speed up to a marina, making a big wake, and rocking all the boats tied up there.
My friends said to the two young men that they should be more careful when approaching the docks. One of the young men said to ho my friends F!! K, it’s my marina.
My friends went to the office and asked who he was. It turns out he was the son of the owner.
My friends asked for their money back, got it from the clerk and left. They didn’t want to stay any where they were treated so rudely. I know I won’t be staying there any time soon.
