Boaters in Kitsap County have a plethora of options to choose from when it comes to moorage, especially when travelling away from home. Guest moorage can be found at many marinas in Kitsap County, including the Port of Silverdale, Port of Bremerton, Port of Poulsbo, and Liberty Bay.
However, if you are looking for something quiet and off the beaten path, the Brownsville Marina in Bremerton is the place for you!
The Port of Brownsville lies just southeast if Silverdale and north of Bremerton. While picnicking at Brownsville, you can look out over the water at the west side of Bainbridge Island. The views are very nice, 
making you feel miles away from home, even if you have just motored over up from Port Orchard.
Brownsville Marina offers bathrooms, showers, laundry facilities, a deli and mini-mart. Slips include shore power and water, including guest slips. Guest slips can accommodate boats up to 24 feet. There is also a line for guest moorage along the north breakwater.
When we had our 18 foot Mariah, we frequently used the two-lane boat launch at Brownsville. The wait at other boat launches can sometimes be long, and parking has been known to be a problem. However, at Brownsvi
lle, we never had either of those issues.
We would bring a picnic lunch and eat our foot-longs at either the picnic tables in front of one of the parking areas looking out at the mud flats during low tide, or at Overlook Park up the hill, which offers recreational fun like horseshoes as well as an outstanding view.
All boaters visiting Brownsville Marina have use of the pump out station, as well as a full-service fuel station.
When motoring into the marina, be aware that you must enter through the south entrance, and you must stay on the marina side of the green buoys at all times, but especially low tide. If the mudflats don't get you, the sunken boat marked by the white buoy might!
As spring approaches and we have the larger boat, we are anxious to renew our visits with the Brownsville Marina.
