A great marina. Great staff. Boaters lounge was comfortable. Bathrooms are tied with the marina a Orillia for the best we have ever experienced. Free laundry with soap and drier sheet. If you have a 40+ foot boat as for a slip near the end of "I" dock - finger docks are about 8' longer.

Fantastic stop! Free laundry and very clean, new and private showers with clean bath mats provided. Restaurants are very close by. Cute town with grocery store near by that you can bring the cart back to the marina and grocery picks up!

The crew of Living the Dream (Larry & Mary Bailey) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Trent Port Marina. We had originally intended to stay only one night, then extended to 2 nights, and ultimately stayed 4 nights. The town of Trenton, ON is wonderful and welcoming. We visited the Farmers Market, local groceries for provisions, several restaurants, the cinema, the Chamber of Commerce, the local Bank, and other local businesses. The marina itself is 'like new' condition, spotlessly clean, luxury showers, and excellent WiFi. Marina staff were all very welcoming and helpful. Amenities at the marina included outdoor gas grills, picnic tables, and as well as a marine supply store with on duty mechanic (which we used for some much-needed repairs; Watercraft Marine Dave Gartshore was the awesome!!) We'll be back if we travel this way again!

Save yourself some time and look for any other marina in the area unless you have $2,000,000 liability coverage which is a requirement at this marina in 2021.

WG Editor Comment:
Update from Marina Management:
'We have discussed the issue of liability insurance with our insurers and the municipality that owns Trent Port Marina and we are prepared to handle insurance on a case by case basis. In the case of American flagged boats, we will be happy to make an exception and accept $1 Million liability. We sincerely apologize for the confusion this has caused. We were unaware that our policy had presented issues for American vessels. We hope to welcome you to Trent Port Marina soon.'

Marina Response:

Trent Port Marina requires $2 Million liability from all of its seasonal boaters. It's standard in Canada and our boaters have no issue obtaining it. The cost increase from $1 Million is only about $25 in most cases. However, since we implemented the $2 Million liability policy, the CanadaI/US borders have been closed and we were unaware that our American friends are unable to easily obtain that coverage. We are working with the City's insurance department to come to a solution so everyone coming from the US can visit us as soon as possible. We will have more information very soon so please watch this space! In the meantime, we apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Thanks for the opportunity to respond.

I agree with everyones' positive reviews of this facility. Showers that are spotlessly clean: big enough to swing a cat in, glass wall so you don't get the spins as badly, and water temp controls mounted out of the range of the shower head so you don't get soaked turning them on. Very knowledge dock hands who are trained by some of the resident boaters. It is also a handy spot to leave your boat to travel to Toronto or Montreal by train as the train station is only a few miles away. They will receive shipments, including from the Online Rope Store which is just to the north.

Awesome facilities. Beautiful gardens that are well maintained. Marina facilities are spotless, user friendly and include so many little extras. Walking distance to downtown (shops and restaurants). Quiet at night. Super break water system. Docks are solid although floating. Gated docks. Staff offer the best customer service we’ve experienced. By far the best marina we’ve lived at for the season.

In addition to everything said above, we want to add, and this is important as year round liveaboards, the docks are secure and so well engineered that even with water levels 4 to 5 feet above normal we actually notice No Effects from the Spring high water levels.

This is by far the cleanest marina I have seen in all my years of boating. The amenities are top of the line and the service is over the top. There are many little touches that are pleasant surprises such as large capacity laundry that is free and an herb garden for everybody’s use. I will recommend this marina to every boater I know.

Trent Port Marina is top notch! Knowledgeable, friendly staff, secure docks, boaters' showers are the nicest I've seen anywhere. Short walk to the grocery store. They even have Kawartha Dairies ice cream on site!

This Marina is the best on Lake Ontario. Clean upscale amenities galore - wifi that works - great laundry, bathrooms and showers. And managed by Craig. Consummate professional. Hard working and incredibly knowledgable. You owe it to yourself to check it out.

This place KNOWS WHATS UP! Let me start by telling you that this facility is BEAUTIFUL. The town has clearly pumped a lot of money and effort into the area and it is not to be missed. They have wi-fi that ACTUALLY works, FREE laundry (including Tide Pods) and even coffee/muffins in the AM. Even after mentioning all of this...the bathrooms are seriously the highlight. They are individual rooms (as a live aboard boater, this is sooo luxurious) and they are not only posh but kept incredibly clean.
There is also a Metro (literally) across the street and plenty of dining options within walking distance. PERFECT spot to provision before heading up the Trent Severn Waterway.
