Swantown Boatworks

Overview


Swantown Boatworks boatyard is owned and operated by the Port of Olympia. Serving our boating community since 1999, we operate a 82 ton Marine Travel-Lift, hauling vessels from 17' to 80' in length and up to 21’ wide. Our jib crane has a 10,000 pound capacity. Forklift and crane services are also available on site.

The 3.6 acre yard is fenced, lighted and has the capacity to store up to 60 vessels, and includes a mast storage area, security, and a public restroom. To keep our waterways clean, we also feature a state of the art wash down and water treatment facility for boats that are pressure washed.
