Moorage Rates

The Port of Bellingham is pleased to offer quality moorage at a competitive rate.  Please keep in mind that your vessel’s total overall length, including bow pulpit or sprit, swim step, dinghy davits, and tipped-up outboards, is taken into consideration when assigning moorage. For customers choosing to pay moorage for the entire year in advance, we offer an annual rate.
