The full service marina, built in 1982, has over 100 slips, which can be rented on either a daily or seasonal basis. The North Slip of the harbor underwent renovation in 1998, this created additional transient slip space in the marina. Visiting mariners from all parts of Lake Michigan have come to enjoy the convenience of the North slip, which puts downtown Port Washington within a block's walking distance of the marina. Downtown Port Washington offers visitors a wide selection of eating establishments both in taste and in price range. A handful of specialty shops also line the main street.
Lodging is also available immediately in downtown.
Port Washington also has a fleet of charter boats for those looking for a day or half-day Lake Michigan fishing excursion. Book early as charters have a tendency of filling up fast. Exit 100 will bring you in on the North side of the city. Proceed south for approximately a mile and a half to downtown. Exit 96 provides a western entrance to Port Washington on state highway 33.
