Review for Roberta Bondar Transient Marina

Reviewed by: Lance Williamson on Jul 13, 2023
Vessel Type: Power
LOA: 40'
Draft: 3.8'

Rating: 4

The Roberta Bondar Marina is an easy place to enter Canada. The marina looks to be fairly new. The finger docks are quite narrow and tippy. The finger docks are also short (our 40' boat was 8' longer than the finger dock). There is a long side-tie dock at the far end of the marina but it had very few dock cleats! Speaking of dock cleats, the dock cleats are mounted on a track that runs the length of the finger docks. The cleats are movable - use a hex wrench to loosen and tighten. Someone had loosened the cleat the the dock hand was using on our spring line. The cleat moved 3 or 4 feet before I was made aware of the situation! The dock hand got a wrench from the office and tightened the cleat.
There are many events and concerts that occur at the park adjacent to the marina. Good washrooms and laundry room. Marina staff was very friendly and helpful. No grocery store near the marina. It is a short walk to the bush plane museum. We enjoyed our stay at this marina.
