The Shilshole Liveaboard Assoc. manages the Port of Seattle’s Dock Captain Program at Shilshole. Every dock with liveaboards has a person that has been designated “Dock Captain” who is a liaison between the Port of Seattle/Marina and his/her dock mates. They attend quarterly meetings with the Port/Marina to share issues on their docks and to relate the Port’s news back to their docks. They must know the rules and regulations of the Marina so they can provide a source of education to their fellow boaters regarding Required Best Management Practices like garbage/recycling/hazmat disposal, boat washing/repair and pier cleanliness.

If you have any questions or concerns about your dock, security, or procedures, please contact your Dock Captain whose information is posted on your gate’s bulletin board.

Here are the 2024 Dock Captain meeting dates, 7-8:30pm at the Jibe Cafe. All dock captains are required to attend and if you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Dock Captain administrator at SLA.dock.captain at gmail.com (use the @ sign)
