About Us

 

Vancouver Marina was constructed in 1965, and opened for business in 1967.  The first phase of construction was built at 8211 River Rd in front of what now is Galleon Marine (in those days, the building was home to Richmond Boat & Yacht Sales downstairs, and the famous Surf Club upstairs).

A few years later, we built the second phase of the marina on the north side of the Middle Arm Bridge in front of what once was a Boeing Aircraft seaplane production plant built in the late 1920's.  The building was converted into an office/ restaurant building which is now home to The Boathouse Restaurant and Marine Retailer, West Marine.

Today, Vancouver Marina has 160 slips, of which 114 are covered.  Vancouver Marina is still operated by its original owners. 

 

Why Choose Vancouver Marina?

 

Vancouver Marina is Vancouver's Nicest Covered Moorage Facility, as well, Vancouver Marina is home to Vancouver's Nicest Fuel Dock!

Protect Your Investment - Keep Your Boat Under Cover!

Covered Moorage:  The biggest advantage to mooring your boat at Vancouver Marina is the availability of Covered Moorage.  Mooring your boat in a covered slip is the best way to protect it from the damaging effects of UV rays, as well as keeping it dry.  Individual docking in our covered moorage means that you have a finger float on each side of your boat.

Rock-Solid Concrete Docks :: Safest for You, Your Family, and Your Boat

Concrete Docks:  Vancouver Marina also offers state-of-the-art CONCRETE DOCKS for both our covered and open moorage clients.  Concrete docks are much more stable than wood docks, and is very similar to walking on a sidewalk!  Concrete is also far less slippery when wet, making the facility much safer for you and your family!  

24 Hour Video and Security Surveillance

Security:  Vancouver Marina offers security patrols via foot and boat, and 24 hour video surveillance of our docks and boats, making our marina one of the safest and secure facilities in BC.

Save Your Hull and Drives from Salt Water Growth!

Fresh Water:  The other great advantage of mooring your boat with us, is the fact that we are located in FRESH WATER.  Fresh Water mooring means that your boat won't be affected by salt-water growth such as barnacles, mussels, and worst-of-all, electrolysis.  Salt Water growth can cost you thousands of needless dollars in additional maintenance.  Why not save the money and moor in FRESH WATER?

Metered Electricity :: Only pay for what you use

Electricity: Power service available ranges from a minimum of 15 amps (in smaller slips) up to 80 amps (in larger slips). Use as little or as much power as you want!
