Philadelphia's Center City Marina The Piers Marina, a short sail up from the C & D Canal or down from Bucks County, is where the quiet of the river meets the convenience of the city. Located on the Penn's Landing waterfront, we're a short walk from Old City and the Historic District but, through our secured entrance, you'll find yourself a world away from the bustle of the city. We offer floating docks, year-round running water and shore-power, private showers, laundry facilities and a world class Italian restaurant overlooking the docks. But you'll be most impressed by what you don't find here: the noise of the city.   We offer a range of slip-rental options and a discount on transient slips for Boat U.S. members.

Philadelphia comes alive during the annual Fourth of July celebration week known as Welcome America. Each year, a host of boats make their way to our marina to take in the spectacular fireworks display staged from a barge just off our breakwater. There's no better seat for this celebration than our marina. The riverfront fireworks and concert this year will be on Saturday, July 5, starting at 6:30 p.m. at the Great Plaza with a performance by Philadelphia's own Boyz II Men. For a full rundown of the week's activities, check out the event web site.
