Marinas

Marina Locations Map Vancouver's temperate climate makes the possibility of year-round sailing a reality! Whether you're just dropping anchor for the night or a resident with sea salt in your veins, moorage near the downtown core is convenient, close and cost-effective.

The beautiful False Creek basin offers a variety of slips for long and short-term stays with a multitude of services. In addition, our marinas are close to one of the world's best public markets offering a vast selection of fresh produce, artisan breads, fish, meats, pastas and more. A variety of craft stores along with cafés, restaurants, coffee bars and theatres rounds out one of Vancouver's "must see" locations.

The City's vibrant downtown is a short walk, cab drive or mini-ferry ride away putting one of the most liveable cities in the world just off your starboard bow.
