Marina Seeking Kids’ Life Jackets

Gig Harbor Marina & Boatyard is Seeking Donations of Kids’ Life Jackets.

For the safety of all who visit our docks, we are looking for child/youth size life jackets to make available at the gates leading down into our marina.

If you have any kids’ personal flotation devices (PFD’s) that you are no longer using — and which are fairly shipshape — we would love to have them. We plan to set up storage lockers of free-to-borrow life jackets at the entrances to our A and B Docks for the safety of kids who visit our docks, said Service Manager Chris Hawke.

“We want to model this as a standard practice, something you automatically do before going out on a dock.” – Gig Harbor Marina & Boatyard Service Manager Chris Hawke

When families come back up the ramp to the boatyard parking lot, they will simply return the borrowed life jacket to the storage locker until the next time they visit the boats.

If you have a life jacket to donate, please drop it by the boatyard office, or call (253) 858-3535 for more information.

Gig Harbor Marina & Boatyard thanks you for helping us keep kids safe!
