How do you make marina reservations and find contact information in the San Juan Islands?
Marina reservations in the San Juan Islands are typically made by phone or online, especially during the summer when slips fill quickly. Key locations like Cap Sante, Friday Harbor, Roche Harbor, and Deer Harbor accept advance reservations, some use a lottery for 4th of July reservations, and parks and smaller docks remain first-come. Having phone numbers and a call plan improves your chances of securing moorage.
After spending a few nights on the hook somewhere or jostling for dock space at a park that only holds four boats and has no water or shower, I look forward to my guaranteed reservation.
If you have a firm date planned, 4th of July, maybe, you can call or get online and reserve a slip.

Islands Marine Center, (360) 468-3377, is a good alternative to Lopez Islander. They're less expensive and the staff is friendlier. Also quieter, the music from the restaurant at the Islander can get pretty loud on the weekend. I've spent the last two 4th of July's at IMC and highly recommend them.
