Navigational Directions
- The entrance to Swantown Marina begins as you enter Budd Inlet through a mile-wide passage between Dofflemyer Point and Cooper Point, approximately 5.5 miles north of Swantown Marina.
- Approaching from the north, simply round Dofflemyer Point and head south towards Olympia, prominently marked by the State Capital building in the background.
- Continue past Olympia Shoal (preferably on your port side) and pick up the 28-foot dredged and buoyed channel that leads towards Olympia. A spoil bank from channel dredging lies east of the entrance to Olympia Harbor.
- At the junction channel marker, a piling marker with a square green over red day marker, follow the east (left) leg to Swantown Marina and Boatworks.
- The entrance channel is marked by a series of piling mounted day markers and narrows as you approach the first floating structure, the breakwater.
