Great staff here. Arrived in windy conditions and the staff was on the spot in helping and securing the boat safely. Stable docks with good potable water and good electric power. Well equipped store.

Smaller Marina with floating docks. Clean restrooms and friendly staff. Restrictive garbage policy due to wild animals so have clear plastic bags and separate recyclables if you plan to drop off. Good and helpful group of seasonal boaters that call this port their own. It's a walk to limited menu options limited to pizza, burgers and ice cream. Good stop to get off Georgian Bay

We very much enjoyed our stay at Wright's Marina. Don met us on the docks - very personable- and introduced us the the young ladies catching our lines at the fuel dock and slip. They were fantastic and ensured that we had all the information on facilities. Only stayed one night but would enjoy a longer stay at this secluded spot.

We arrived early afternoon and for being close to the middle of nowhere, there sure are a lot of small motorboats going by! I'm sure that will stop once the sun goes down. Easy in/out, nice dock and friendly staff. The $10/bag garbage disposal is to keep the bears away and is taken away nightly. This made for a nice stop between Killbear and Killarney for us.

They were having issues with electricity on the docks while we were there. Had new GFCI work done on one dock, which wreaked havoc on the adjacent dock. Staff however was very attentive and had their electrician onsite troubleshooting. We had power overnight for charging, cooking, etc. Staff will drive you to the next marina up the inlet (St. Amants) where there is a small general store, but you could also walk or ride bike. Decent washrooms, key locked. Laundry 3.25 Canadian $ (2023). Pretty protected from winds and waves. Dock hands helpful in docking. No restaurant nearby. $10 to dispose of a bag of trash. Gasoline, diesel and Pumpout.

This is an extremely well run marina. The dock help is outstanding. Tracey in particular went above and beyond to help in any way she could. She will take you to the general store/ LCBO about a mile away. There is a close ice cream store too. Showers and laundry are located in a building behind the office/store. Fishing is excellent too! There are gas grills, chairs and picnic tables available too.

Wright's Marina is a wonderful marina! The entrance into Byng Inlet from Georgian Bay is well marked. It is a nice trip from the entrance of the inlet to the marina. Many of the cottages are far nicer than our land-base home. Wright's Marina is the first Marina (before you get to the island) on the left bank. The marina has diesel and gas, a ships store, repair shop, washrooms and showers, and laundry facilities. The staff are super friendly and accommodating. It is a short walk to the ice cream shack. It is one mile to the grocery/LCBO/hardware store. The marina staff will take you to the store and back, or if you walk to the store they will pick you up. This is a great little marina!

Wrights Marina, Byng Inlet, 17 August 2022. The scenic approach is well marked and should be followed without distraction. Wrights marina is the first along the inlet. It includes a fuel dock, marine store, and repair facility. There are no accessible stores or eateries. Locals advise to mind your walk since water snakes, rattlesnakes and bears can be present.

We stayed for 2 nights at Wrights Marina. It's a nice stop, with floating docks, clean bathrooms, showers, and laundry. They have a good price for diesel and a choice of free pump out or $20 off/night with AGLCA membership. A golf cart is available for a 1 mile drive to a small grocery store. There is also an ice cream shop within walking distance.

Have stopped here a few times. Very friendly helpful owners and staff. In fact they remembered our boat as it was berthed there previously. Just sold to Hindson's another family owned marina business in Georgian Bay. New docks this year. Showers, laundry, mechanic, swimming, small store on sight. Larger store in town ( 1 km) with LCBO.

This is a must-stop for boaters. It is a great place to hide from bad weather before heading out on Georgian Bay toward the Bustards and Collins Inlet. But, more so, it is just a great place to be. Wright's is family operated, with a most welcoming environment. The grounds are beautiful and the people helpful.

A really pleasant small marina in a quiet inlet. The staff are very helpful and there is a good restaurant about 1 mile up the road. We left our boat here for winterizing and storage, and were impressed by the obvious capability of the staff.
