Lake Tapps Marina Rebuild Begins: What Boaters Need to Know

Seattle Boat Company has begun a full rebuild of Lake Tapps Marina. Here’s what customers can expect and how to get service during construction.


A New Chapter For Lake Tapps Marina

Seattle Boat Company Breaks Ground on a Full Marina Rebuild While Keeping Service Open for Customers

On August 1, 2025, Seattle Boat Company officially began construction on an all-new Lake Tapps Marina. This is not just a remodel, but a full rebuild of the facility to better serve the Lake Tapps boating community for years to come.

The project includes a new marina building, modern dry rack storage, improved service flow, and upgraded waterfront access. The grand reopening is currently scheduled for Summer 2026.

Importantly, customers do not have to wait to return for service. Our team is still here, ready to serve you throughout construction.


Why Rebuild the Marina?

Lake Tapps is home to more than 380 waterfront households and over 52,000 residents in the surrounding area. It has long been a central hub for boating in the region. As usage grows and customer needs evolve, this full rebuild allows Seattle Boat Company to create a more functional, more welcoming, and more efficient marina experience.

Key improvements include:

  • A brand-new, purpose-built marina building

  • Modern dry rack storage with improved access and handling

  • Smarter service flow for faster turnaround times

  • Dedicated fuel dock for customer convenience

  • A private-use launch ramp for valet and boat club members

  • New showroom and sales experience

  • The addition of FunShare Boat Club at Lake Tapps

“This is about creating something that honors how people actually use Lake Tapps,” said Jeff Bohling, Co-President at Seattle Boat Company. “We’re building for the future while keeping the values and service our customers count on.”
