boat basin
Sheltered vessel anchorage
A boat basin is a sheltered area of water where boats are moored, typically a small harbor or marina with docks and facilities for recreational vessels.
Unlike natural harbors, boat basins are often constructed or improved spaces within larger bodies of water: The city maintains a boat basin along the river for local boaters.
