Large marina with extensive covered slips and dry stack storage buildings adjacent to residential areas, but no visible parking lots or vehicles.
Day Island Yacht Harbor is nestled in University Place, Washington, along the eastern shore of Puget Sound, a deep, fjord-like inlet of the Pacific Ocean that offers protected waters amidst the rugged Pacific Northwest landscape. This marina serves recreational sailors and boaters who navigate the calm, island-dotted waters of Puget Sound, ideal for leisurely yachting and exploring the region's coastal beauty.
Marinas typically need to separate slip holder parking from day-visitor parking, trailer areas, launch ramps, and secure dock access points. Modern facilities use barrier gate systems to enforce these zones automatically — allowing permitted vehicles through via transponder or keycard while logging all access events.
