Marina

John Henry’s marina is located near the entrance to Pender Harbour, in Garden Bay BC. We are ideally located to serve mariners travelling north and south from visits to: Princess Louisa Inlet, Desolation Sound, the Broughtons or travelling further to Alaska.

We are the largest private marina in Hospital Bay, Pender Harbour. Our location offers both shelter and solitude. We’re also located close to fishing and crabbing grounds.

The marina can accommodate very small vessels to larger vessels to a maximum of 150 feet. It features 31 slips, ranging in size from 15 to 70 feet, and also has a long, 400 foot long dock suitable for larger vessels, plus other alongside dock space. We offer substantial transient and limited seasonal and annual moorage. During our busy summer season, and especially in July and August, we highly recommend reservations because there are many days when our transient moorage space is completely sold out.

When you’re near the entrance to Pender Harbour, please hail us on 66A so we can provide your slip assignment.
