Marina & Turning Basin

Petaluma Marina & Turning Basin

The City of Petaluma offers services for boaters at the Marina, located next to the Sheraton Hotel at 781 Baywood Drive, Petaluma CA.

Please note that the Marina has not been dredged for some time and all tenant vessels sit in the mud at low tide.

Transient berthing is only available in the Turning-Basin, which is located in downtown Petaluma.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to silt buildup under the transient docks in the Turning-Basin, the surface of the docks may be sloped up to 20° at a low or negative tide. Please use extreme caution when utilizing the dock. Wearing a personal flotation device is recommended. 

TURNING-BASIN DOCK NOTICE

 


TURNING BASIN DOCK REPLACEMENT PROJECT RESUMES!

 

We are thrilled to announce we are resuming the replacement of our Turning Basin docks! The new docks will provide increased river access for our community, improved docking amenities, increased safety via a new fire suppression system, and more. After a brief hiatus to accommodate an environmental permit window, replacement of the Turning Basin docks is set to resume in mid-June. Construction is expected to last from June 2024 – September 2024.

 

What to expect during dock replacement construction:

  • D STREET BRIDGE: Periodic openings June thru Sept = potential traffic delays.
  • PETALUMA SMALL CRAFT CENTER (PSCC) - THE FLOATHOUSE: We are working with PSCC to temporarily relocate their docks during the project.  Visit thefloathousepetaluma.org/ for updates.
  • NOISE & VIBRATION: Will occur in the area in June & July.

We will be sending Nixle alerts ahead of days when there will be multiple openings of the D Street Bridge to allow the community to plan to avoid traffic in the area. To register for Nixle, click HERE or text your zip code to 888777.

The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) dredging of the Petaluma River will begin shortly after the dock replacement is completed in fall 2024.
