OLD SALTS AND NEW FRIENDS

Cruising is about seeing new places and meeting new people. Here you’ll mingle with seasoned sailors and seasonal vacationers alike. You’ll gather around the grill to share stories from sailing around the world to paddling across the pond. There’s nothing more satisfying than the camaraderie of kindred spirits nurtured by nature.

Love this place. We come back every year. Friendly staff, clean washrooms. The pizza is delicious and fruits of the forest pie, amazing crust! Call ahead at least an hour before arriving by boat to order the food.

We love the new owners! They are so friendly, welcoming and hospitable. They enjoy sharing their space with others and getting to know people. The baked goods are delicious, as is the fantastic coffee! They had a nice peach sorbet last visit with actual peach chunks. I love the little gift shop with unique and practical items that are of great quality.

The property is beautiful, with lovely grass and shade trees, swings and yard games. A great place to enjoy a relaxed afternoon. I want to spend a future visit checking out the intertidal area! 

Also love the little Saturday community market and store just down the road!! So many of the things that, to me, feel like an ideal island visit!

Very friendly marina with a helpful staff. Very well protected. Be sure to order freshly baked baguettes and grab some coffee. There is a farm stand just down the road with some nice baked goods (pies, brownies, bread, cinnamon rolls), pick up some in-season produce and shop from a freezer loaded with lamb and cheese.

Our favourite marina! The new owners are incredible and have changed everything for the better. Fresh produce, incredible coffee, delicious sandwiches and treats! Couldn’t find better people and a more beautiful place to stop for a couple of nights. The lawn games are a blast and we’re a big fan of the entertainment. 10/10, we love it here!

STOPOVER AND STAYOVER

When the brood is eager for a break from the boat and it’s time to moor for more than one night, you’ll find everything you need to interrupt your cruise with a few days of adventure ashore.

OFFSEASON – EXTEND YOUR STAY ON US

Visit us during the week (October – May), and Enjoy three days’ moorage for the price of two. Give yourself more time to enjoy all our marina and our Thetis Island home have to offer.

THE OFF-SEASON ADVANTAGE

Time is of the essence. Which is what makes winter moorage At Telegraph Harbour Marina so attractive. Here your Gulf Island vacation starts on day one following a short Seair flight from Vancouver or a brief ferry ride from Chemainus. We’ll have your boat prepped and stocked, including fresh produce from select local farms. The only decision left to you is whether to sail north or south.

CHARACTER AND CHARACTERS

Some of the most interesting people on the planet are drawn to Telegraph Harbour. It’s what makes us a popular choice for one-make rendezvous. Cruisers who love a particular brand of boat love our brand of hospitality. We promise the company of a bevy of boaters with stories to tell and time to share. We’re also a popular meeting place for a creative community of Thetis Island locals.

We had a lovely visit to this marina recently.  It’s under new ownership and we found all the staff to be very friendly and welcoming. The cafe has ice cream (big hit with our kids!) and lots of other tasty treats and beautiful merchandise. The location is gorgeous and the new owners are excited to make this place welcoming for everyone to enjoy. It’s really cool to see a family so committed to making a special spot loved by locals and travellers alike. Definitely worth stopping in for a visit when in the area.

Authentic Gulf Islands marina that’s great for kids and adults alike. Cafe with coffee, pastries and ice cream. A small selection of essential fishing gear. Beautiful open lawn foreshore with room for kids to run.

New owner Jaime is super hard-working and friendly. A completely full marina with a large group on our first night, and he made it all work with a smile and extreme competence. Local goodies in the cafe, and yummy ice cream. Much nicer layout and much better condition than the other nearby locations. Highly recommended if you are staying in Telegraph Harbor. Limited water (as with all island marinas). No fuel. 30-amp power fine. Good (free) WiFi. Docks can accommodate fairly large boats.

My new favourite marina! Very friendly owners (Jaime and Jen) they will make you feel like family. There is plenty to do for kids since this is a kids friendly place. There are laundry facilities, and a cafe place with ice cream, fresh baked goods and of course coffee. The new owners have great plans for the future by opening a full-service restaurant and several activities throughout the month.
