Important Approach & Navigation Notes (Updated 2026)

- Water depth off the harbor entrance is approximately one-inch above standard Chart Datum at approximately six-feet, on a raised shelf, 75-feet west of the gas dock.  Vessels should approach the harbor directly from the West or Northwest ONLY. Do  NOT  approach or depart to the South or Southwest, as this area contains hidden shoals and rocks, with unmarked depths as shallow as 3 feet. Water depth at the fuel dock is approximately 8 feet.

- Slip depths range from 7 feet to under 3 feet depending on location and seasonal fluctuations. Due to draft limits within the harbor and approach, we cannot accommodate deep-keel vessels in the marina.

-The fuel dock is located at the south end of the main dock.

- Temporary tie-ups along the outer south perimeter dock are available with a "$10/Hour Fee" for short day visits to Ephraim. At times, water depth on the south dock may be under 3 feet. Please contact the Harbormaster to check availability via marine radio (Channel 9) or at (920) 854-4014. 

- Please be aware of, and yield right-of-way to, small sailboats frequently operating off the harbor entrance for sailing school activities and races hosted by Ephraim Yacht Club. Please observe and respect the white "No-Wake Markers" along the shoreline.

- Eagle Harbor and surrounding Green Bay waters are known for rocky shorelines and shallow shoals. Boaters are strongly advised to consult current nautical charts, follow all U.S. Coast Guard buoys and markers, and navigate with caution—especially near islands and unfamiliar shoreline areas throughout Door County.
