Features

The Port of Anacortes is characterized by deep waters from the natural bay it enjoys through the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The Strait of Juan de Fuca acts as a direct sea way connecting the Port of Anacortes to the Great Pacific Ocean. This direct seaway favors cargo ships and cruisers a great deal, as it cuts inland for quite a distance. This is advantageous to its trade especially foreign imports and exports.

The deep water port offers a depth of 120 ft. The harbor has well over 200 berths, large enough to accommodate several dozen cargo ships at a go. Thanks to the high cargo and cruise ship traffic it handles all year round, these berths are advantageous to its activities and income. Shipping cars to or from Port of Anacortes is also further facilitated by the existence of this deep harbor and the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

The port of Anacortes also owns and reserves rights to operate the Cap Santé Marina; an affiliate docking spot just next to the Fidalgo Bay. The Cap Santé Marina offers private docks for individual shipments. It includes 950 slips and enough space to accommodate about 200 guest boats. The Cap Santé Marina promotes shipping cars to or from Port of Anacortes especially when the shipment involves luxury, high-end vehicles. The private docks offer elite services for such car shipments. Have a look at our luxury cars services here.
