Marina
April News and Updates

Ahoy!


Every time I mention something about the weather it all goes hay wire! So no more!

Our new fuel system is primed and ready to go. The store shelves are stocked, the travel lift is fuelled up and ready....so lets get on with it!


More tidbits below...read on!

Operational dates

Currently we are accepting Launch dates from April 29th onwards.

We plan to have the lounge washrooms open starting April 22nd. The North washrooms will follow May 3rd.

WiFi will be available May 3rd.

The store will be open Saturdays starting May 4th. (9 am until 2 pm. closed Sundays again this year)

Spring Launch

As we prepare the Marina for spring launch there are some customer responsibilities as well.

In order to launch your boat, the following must be completed;

  • Your slip must be fully paid up.
  • Your account must be current.
  • We must have on file your current insurance information with a $2 million liability.

About Town

A few changes around town this past winter.

Most notable is there is no longer a gas station in town. Closest one is the UPI in Hepworth. Also, one north of town the UPI in Ferndale. (about 20 min.)

Plan ahead.

The old grocery store has been purchased by the town for future town offices and community centre,

Are you ready for launch?


For our new customers (and the old forgetful ones! :)) we do have a process to launch the boat.

We require a 5-day window from the ready date (when you are ready to launch) to the required date (the date you want the boat in the water by)


Note: There are no owner present launches. Also, no same day launch and mast stepping.


There is a form to fill out. Separate forms for sail and power boats. The form can be found online under... >Services> Wiarton marina order forms. Please make sure you receive a reply back for the online form. Or, you can drop into the office and fill one out. If you are new we suggest filling one out at the store.


If you need your mast stepped we have two formats. We can do it all for you or you do an owner assist lift all day Monday or Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. These must be booked at the store.


Repairs, waxing and painting. As you can appreciate everyone is anxious to launch and we only have certain staff for these jobs. It's important to get your launch and work order in together as soon as you can.

We work backwards from required launch date to get the jobs done.


I'm looking forward to this season again . As I have said before it is in lightening to see everyone coming back to get the boat ready. Everyone expressing a sense of vigour to get the cover off and ready her for launch. As we get things underway here at the Marina for launch we look forward to meeting up again!

As a valued customer we appreciate your business and continued support of the Marina and Yacht Club

See you soon!
