Marinas

Overview

Water is a way of life in Cowichan. Between our lakes, rivers, and the Salish Sea, water has been deeply intertwined with human life in the Cowichan region for thousands of years.

The magnificent Cowichan coastline and its many surrounding islets, harbours, secluded bays (and lakes) are dotted with dozens of well-provisioned places to tie up, refresh and refuel – both you and your craft. Many marinas have pubs and fine dining restaurants, which have become destinations for both boaters and the public at large. Notable stops to add to your itinerary include Mill Bay Marina (home to Bridgemans Bistro), Maple Bay Marina (home to Shipyard Restaurant & Pub), and Genoa Bay Marina (home to Genoa Bay Cafe).

Whether you’re cruising for the day or planning a multi-day trip there are plenty of places to explore by boat. For more information on planning a boating trip to British Columbia (including an interactive coastal map), please visit Ahoy BC.
