Your Guide to Boating and Lake Life at Chelan Bay Marina

Chelan Bay Marina will open for the 2026 season on May 15, offering boat rentals, transient moorage, and curated boat sales on the shores of Lake Chelan.

If you're searching for adventures in Lake Chelan that combine adrenaline, luxury, and incredible scenery, there is one experience that stands out above the rest: getting out on the water. Lake Chelan’s deep blue water, mountain backdrop, and endless sunshine make it one of Washington’s most photogenic destinations. And for travelers looking for Instagram-worthy activities in Lake Chelan, nothing compares to spending the day wake surfing, tubing, and cruising the lake with friends.

Chelan Bay Marina is now closed for the 2025 season but we’re not gone. Our temporary trailer office is coming down this fall, and we’ll be back next spring with even more to offer.

A boutique marina offers a calm, private alternative to the busy docks — no lines, no crowds, and everything you need for your perfect Lake Chelan day.

Join us for the Sip & Surf Launch Party at Chelan Bay Marina on July 19 — a full day of surf demos, music, wine, and boutique lakefront vibes.
