Moorage

If you are literally the captain of your own ship, you are welcome to moor your vessel with us!

With berthing facilities for more than 50 boats available at the island, moorage is both convenient and affordable. Private boat owners have a choice of tying up to the dock at Mark Bay, or using one of many mooring buoys to secure your boat for up to two weeks. Boaters can reference marine chart #3447 (Nanaimo Harbour) for more information on this area.
