  Application process

  Intake process (currently paused)

  The intake process begins with an application form that collects your contact information and a description of your vessel. The waitlist is the primary reference document used to assign berths when space becomes available.

  This process applies to both Live Aboard (LAB) and Recreational (REC) users. The marina does not accept applications from commercial operators.

  Information icon The waitlist is currently paused, and we are not accepting new applications at this time.

  How berths are assigned

  When a berth becomes available, we will review the waitlist from the top. They look for a vessel with the right characteristics for the available space.
  Applicants are considered in order, but only if their vessel matches the berth requirements.

  If a vessel is not compatible, we continue down the list until a suitable match is found.

  What makes a vessel compatible

  Vessel compatibility is based on characteristics such as:

  • Length
  • Width
  • Height
  • Draft relative to water depth at low tide
  • Internal and external layout of the berth

  Applicants whose vessels do not meet the berth criteria will not be considered. If a suitable vessel is found, we will contact the applicant.

  Eligibility and requirements

  Vessel eligibility

  Only vessels licensed or registered with Transport Canada External website, opens in new tab are eligible for moorage.

  Insurance and documentation

  Applicants must provide a valid marine survey and current insurance policy with a minimum of $2 million in Protection and Indemnity (Marine Liability) coverage.

  Annual confirmation required

  Waitlist participants must confirm their continued interest each year and update any changes to their vessel’s details. The waitlist is maintained based on the applicant’s continued interest and eligibility for moorage.
