Best For
Good To Know
Submitting the reservation request is only the first step; the marina says staff will contact boaters to confirm whether space is available for the requested dates.
The technical data lists no tides, but Courant Ste-Marie current can reach up to 6 knots, so plan the approach rather than treating the basin like a lake marina.
Old Port visitor parking does not solve trailered-boat logistics: vehicles with trailers or motorized caravans are prohibited on the site.
