Location and Parking
PLEASE NOTE - WHEN SAILING WITH US: We recommend leaving extra time to park, get to the dock, and find restrooms before boarding if needed.
There are a few parking options available, but most of the parking options do charge a fee.
There is a paid parking lot adjacent to the dock - on the loop where Pine Avenue ends - that is also used for the many restaurants there. It is valet only on the weekends, but the same rate as self-parking any other time. Keep in mind that it gets very busy on weekends, so leaving extra time will be an added benefit if you park here!
The Aquarium/Queensway Garage and Shoreline Village Lots are also located on either side of Pine Avenue Pier, a short walk to the dock. Click here for more information.
