Pier 3

Pier 3

Located at river mile 13 at the mouth of the Columbia, the Port of Astoria's haul-out facility and boatyard are ideally situated for access to the Columbia River basin. Upland storage, long-term boat storage and trailer parking are available at rates significantly below those in urban areas.

The facility includes an 88-ton TravelLift®, offering excellent lift efficiency and providing greater versatility when placing the vessel ashore for storage or repairs. A wash down system makes it easier to remove algae and barnacles from a boat bottom and dispose of this material properly. Boat owners may contract for repair work with an on-site marine repair business, or lease boatyard space for do-it-yourself work. Haul-Out Reservations are required, and may be made by calling the Boatyard Supervisor from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday at 503-791-7730 or 503-791-7731.

Amenities at the Haul-out/Boatyard include:

  • 88-ton TravelLift® Services Now Available.
  • Long-Term Boat & Trailer Parking
  • In-Water & Upland Vessel Storage
  • Barge Ramp
  • Marine Repair Businesses
