Double Rainbow as we tie up Yes Please at Deer Harbor Marina.
Deer Harbor Marina is a delightful destination located in the smallest and western-most bay on Orcas Island. I had often seen boats coming in and out of Deer Harbor, but had never stopped to see what was there. Boy, was I missing out.
Heading South from Patos Island on a rather stormy day, we decided to poke our head in at Deer Harbor and see if they had room. The Marina Staff went out of their way to find a spot for us and met us at the slip as we backed in to help with the lines. Deer Harbor is an older Marina, but is maintained beautifully and offers outstanding amenities for visiting boaters.

The Hotel across the street is no longer associated with the Marina (so no pool any more) and the Restaurant has been closed and turned over to the Marina for remodeling. I suspect it will be a great place to eat once finished as the little cafe out on the dock makes some of the best burgers I’ve ever tasted. Mmmmm!
The weekend-only restaurant at Deer Harbor Cottages is worth the hike down the road, offering excellent food in a very historic old building.
We spent a great couple of days at Deer Harbor and I was continually impressed by the Marina Staff. They will take great care of you, take pride in their work and we will definitely be back again.
