Marina

For Moorage Reservations please call: 604-883-2336, Ext. 1

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

We are a large privately-owned marina. Our location offers both shelter and solitude. We’re also located close to fishing and crabbing grounds.

The marina can accommodate 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 as well as 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. Limited overflow space may be available on our fuel dock for short overnight stays only.

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