About Salmon Bay Marine Center

18 FRESH WATER DOCKS Located in Seattle 1,000 yards from the historic Ballard locks, SBMC is a fresh water marina with moorage that accommodates vessels from 100 feet to 240 feet, offers both covered and uncovered freshwater monthly moorage.. The combination of on-site marine service tenants and adjacent off-site marine service facilities makes SBMC the largest contiguous super yacht marina of its kind on the U.S. west coast “Fresh water…boy does the boat love that! Everything that grows in saltwater dies. Our maintenance is probably cut in half because we moor in fresh water. Nobody thinks about that when they’re globetrotting around.” —Captain Skip Sethmann, 150’ Delta
