Maritime Welcome Center

The Maritime Welcome Center is the ocean gateway to the Ala Wai Small Boat Harbor. It is the part of the Harbor that visiting boats first see upon arrival from their voyages. This site, therefore, houses several harbor functions and acts as a community space for liveaboards, boaters, and other users. The proposed building complex contains the Harbor Master’s Quarters, a Convenience Store, Laundromat, Pump Out Station, Mailboxes, Public Comfort Station, and Lanai Cafe. It is elevated on a deck above the projected three-foot sea level rise. The deck and rooftop lanai provide spaces for users to socialize and watch races and regattas, surf session, and the sunset. Upon arrival, visiting boats may moor at the proposed floating Fuel Dock, check in with the Harbor Master, and receive inspection.
