Des Moines

The Des Moines Marina provides full-service saltwater access to the East Passage of Puget Sound, making it an excellent launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. Located at 22307 Dock Ave S, the facility features a dedicated boat ramp alongside comprehensive marina amenities including fuel dock, guest moorage for vessels up to 100 feet, and 1,500 feet of guest dock space. The site is well-suited for both day trips and longer excursions into Puget Sound and the surrounding waterways.

Beyond the launch facilities, Des Moines offers paddlers and boaters convenient access to a public fishing pier and waterfront boardwalk for exploring before or after your trip. The marina's full-service infrastructure—including fuel, repairs, and long-term moorage options for 850 vessels—makes it a popular hub for regional boaters.
