Very friendly marina personnel. Great food and since we have three young children, the pool was a bonus. We will be back.

Beautiful marina with helpful and friendly staff! Love Deer Harbor! Also, the July 3rd fireworks were amazing!

by Danny T. - Verified user on Jul 06, 2025

It was a pleasant stay; the fireworks were great on the 3rd of July. The singer on the 5th of July was not so good. She was very loud and off key. I had to close up the doors and windows on my boat and turn up my music. Other than that, the staff was awesome as usual. Kate was very attentive and very friendly. We also found a rubber duck on our boat on the departure day. very nice touch.

We always love our stay at Deer Harbor! Friendly staff, great store and clean restrooms and shower. The barbecue place up the road was delish! We will miss the fireworks next year….its a big draw for us to stay there this time of year.

Hospitable, accommodating, good humoured. The amenities are thought out and well-managed. The staff is exemplary at all points of contact.

Love this marina!! The people are so nice, there is a store, grill and coffee hut on the marina. A restaurant across the road for great pizza. It’s clean and quiet! Too far west on Orcas? No problem, rent a car from Orcas Car Rentals. Reasonably priced and they bring the car to a parking lot right outside of the marina.

Most of the staff were really nice and helpful! Some of the newer staff created extra stress while docking unfortunately. They pulled the bow line in too much causing the starboard bow side to rub the dock and then blamed me for going too fast even though I was in neutral/reverse. They then also tied on the bow line on a cleat and when I was double checking everything, I found the cleat wasn’t tied on properly at all and the boat was drifting away on the bow and then I was told they are training. I don’t mind people training on the docks. They need that exposure and experience but let the boat know from the get go as it caused more stress than ease because of inexperience. Overall, I love deer harbor and it’s been almost 10 years since I’ve been here so fun to see some new changes and some of the same nostalgia feelings from last time.

Hi Raven, thank you for the feedback. You are absolutely correct and we used the experience to have a pow wow on how to do better. Thank you:)

Been visiting Deer Harbor since childhood and by boat since 2000. This was best visit yet. Place looks great, fully staffed, friendly and very clean, yet still the same quaint Deer Harbor. Love it!

The dock hands get a full 100 percent for being on the ball and being very courteous, the staff in the store as well. The only complaint I would have is there is no bank machine to get cash anywhere near the dock. If the stores bank machine broke, then I would think that they would give you cash back on your card just my opinion.

APRIL 2025 - Deer Harbor continues to deliver! Friendly staff, well built and equipped docks, nice marina store, and a very good burger at their cafe. Take a look at their on shore accommodations just across the street from the marina on their website. Would work well for small boat get aways, and for boaters traveling with guests. We always enjoy our DH stay. May 2024, Deer Harbor is a favorite of ours! Mark, Nicole, and all of the staff go out of their way to make each visit special. Their happy "can-do" attitude is always present. The store is well stocked, and always seems to have just what we need. Restrooms, showers and laundry facilities are clean, warm, and conveniently located. Deer Harbor Inn, Matthew's Smokehouse, and Island Pie (Pizza/Italian) are all within walking distance, and offer delicious dining options. The marina coffee and lunch grill is right on the dock, and it is very good as well. We look forward to our next visit to Deer Harbor.

About Deer Harbor Marina

Hailing frequency: VHF 78A

Located on the southwest side of beautiful Orcas Island, in Washington State, the marina has long been a destination and way point for boaters and travelers of the Pacific Northwest.

As those who have spent time at Deer Harbor would attest, this beautiful marina centrally located in the San Juan Islands is an ideal destination or summer cruising base for the islands as well as a quiet winter getaway. Open year round, the marina offers reduced rates during the winter season.

Families enjoy beach combing and playing on one of the best beaches in the San Juan Islands. We also have a fantastic pool that is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The pool is located across the street and heated. Hotel accommodations and dining are located nearby. Transportation around the island is offered by taxi or shuttle bus to other Orcas Island attractions. Kenmore Air has float plane service from Seattle/Lake Union to the marina. Ferry service is available from Anacortes to Orcas Island, and island hopping is easy to other San Juan Island locations.

Deer Harbor has modern dock facilities with side ties up to 112’, a full service grocery store and restaurant; including beer and wine sales, as well as a convenient fuel dock and pump-out facilities.

Please let the marina know upon check-in if your reservation was made without electric options for possible price adjustment.
