Foss Harbor Marina is our favorite marina in the region. The staff is really outstanding, the infrastructure is awesome, the tentants are friendly. It never disappoints! Always a pleasure to stay there.

Thank you, Alexandre! We hope to see you back at Foss Harbor Marina again in the future. Enjoy the rest of your summer.by Anonymous on Nov 22, 2025
I've been to dozens, if not hundreds of marinas, all over the United States. Every one of them has its own character, amenities and charm, that one thing that sets it apart. At Foss Harbor Marina, that thing is the people who live and work there. Between the staff and the 100 or so residents who live there year-round, it's as warm and welcoming of a place as I've ever been around. I am truly blessed to call this place home!

There's no place like Foss. We been with Foss for, six years now. The staff is wonderful. It didn't take us long to feel right at home. We love the amenities, and our boat neighbors. When we come to stay on the boat, our pups tug us straight to the office to say hi to one of the amazing employees, who always give the best treats and loves. Absolutely dog friendly! In the summer, here are always beautiful flowers, outdoor lounge area with grill, Idoor tenet lounge, kayak and sup rentals and a little store to get snacks/ drinks. I've made great memories and amazing friends there. Never a bad day at Foss!

Thanks, Angela! We appreciate you being a part of our community. It's the people that make this place amazing!by Jay M. - Verified user on Sep 14, 2025
Our space was really tight as we were right next to a wide sailboat. Bathrooms are quite far away from where we were (L dock). Showers and bathrooms were clean and ample sized. 11th st bridge elevator wasn’t working (it seldom does). Town is great. Loved perusing the vintage shops on antique row.

Foss Harbor Marina is a gem! The staff are so friendly and helpful, really making you feel at home. It's got a great, welcoming vibe, and you can tell everyone loves being there. Honestly, I wouldn't moor anywhere else.

Thank you so much! We appreciate the kind words and look forward to seeing you back on the water soon.by Liza C. on Mar 19, 2025
I absolutely love Foss Harbor Marina! It's situated in a great location, right in downtown Tacoma, making it convenient to access various attractions and restaurants. The proximity to I5 is a big plus as well. The staff is amazing, always going above and beyond to assist. The facilities are impeccably clean, creating a comfortable environment. The sense of community here is wonderful, and the scenic locations in the Puget Sound make it a truly special place. Highly recommend!

All the staff go above and beyond helping residents. Personal favors, working beyond shifts, just helping out like neighbors should. When problems come up, and they do, they all pitch in. They genuinely enjoy their community events just getting people together.

This marina is well run--warm and friendly staff, smooth operations, CLEAN facilities, welcoming lounge, utilitarian little store, fueling & pumping-out options, everything you need at hand. Ian & Melynda in the marina-office are priceless. Highly recommend!

Thank you! We look forward to seeing you again soon!by Heather P. - Verified user on Mar 19, 2023
Great Tacoma location. From the marina, take the bridge elevator and it shoots you right to the downtown level. Friendly staff and good amenities. If you have to be moored south of the bridge, know that the office is a 5-7 minute walk north. I would love for them to add a key drop box so we don’t have to wait for the office to depart. Thanks for a great stay!
Marina Response:
Thanks, Heather. We appreciate the feedback! We do have plans to install the gate key drop boxes and hope to have that done later this year. We look forward to seeing you again! - Ian Wilkinson, General Managerby John H. - Verified user on Feb 26, 2022
