Approaching the Marina by Boat
Association Island is located southwest of Bass Island, Gull Island
& Lime Barrel Shoal (which has a lighted green buoy). Association
Island has two marinas: the main marina is called the "Olympic Marina"
which has 70 boat slips, and the small marina is called the "GE Marina"
which currently has no boat slips and is currently used for fishing for our
customers. (Plans are underway to install a marina fuel pump in the GE
Marina in the future, date unknown.) There are two man-made openings
to the Olympic Marina, on your port and starboard sides.
For NOAA navigational charts, click here then select
chart #14811 for Chaumont, Henderson and Black River Bays.

Olympic Marina: The green Conference Center and red Black
Catte buildings are landmarks for the west entrance. As you enter
our Olympic Marina, the red Black Catte building will be on your left,
