 Marina PicGreetings From the Marina Operations Manager!    
    
       I would like to personally invite all of you to come visit me at the new Bremerton Marina - it is truly one of the most beautiful marinas on the Puget Sound!  If you haven't been to Bremerton in a while you won't believe the changes. 
      We now have a beautiful breakwater protecting the marina from ferry wake - I like to refer to it as our Bremerton Breakwater Park.  Yacht Clubs like to host their activities under our tent area where we provide charcoal grills and tables; some of our groups have booked bands and others have hosted karoke singing contests on the breakwater. 
        During your stay make sure you take time to explore one or all of the beautiful parks in the downtown area, many boasting unique fountains that are amazing to watch.  You may choose to take in one of the many museums, shop for antiques or enjoy a spa treatment.  Bremerton's waterfront area is home to many popular festivals such as the Kitsap Harbor Festival, Blackberry Festival and the Harborside Wine Festival; make sure you plan ahead and reserve your slip!
        Please take the time to stop by my office and say hi or drop me an email.  Meeting all of you and hearing about your boating experiences is always enjoyable; I believe you will have a memorable experience when you visit us at the new Bremerton Marina!

FREE PARKING FOR OUR MARINA TENANTS
 
Port purchases parking lot..........
 
The Port of Bremerton purchased the parking lot adjacent to the marina creating permanent parking for all of our marina tenants.  Hooray! 
 
This has been the #1 request of our tenants and potential customers and a major dissatisfier thus making it a little more difficult to fill our permanent slips. 
 
We beleive that once the word gets out letting people know that parking is available FREE of charge it will bring positive results and our slips will fill up faster. 
 
Please help us spread the word!
