I'll get specific. Anyone out there live in Sydney/Saanich. I heard
Maple Bay was nice. Comment?

I'm going out for the weekend to check it out. We are definately not
the Urban types.

You might actually want to look at Sidney. The other one is quite some
distance. I live in Alberta, but I sail out of Tsehum Harbour in Sidney.
Check out Van Isle Marina (http://www.vanislemarina.com/), Westport Marina
(http://www.thunderbirdmarine.com/westprt.htm), Canoe Cove
(http://www.boattravel.com/canoecove/) and Marina Park Marina. Port Sidney
is very upscale. (http://www.scratchpatch.com/portsid/fees.htm)

Maple Bay (http://www.maplebaymarina.com/) is nice. It is about an hour
away from Sidney. If you want really inexpensive, you should check out the
marina in Genoa Bay (http://www.genoabaymarina.com/). It is just south of
Maple Bay. I do know that there are a number of live aboards there.

Here is a listing you might like:

I hope that this helps.

...also check out Brentwood Bay Marina ...Small (inexpensive) marina on the
west side of Saanicton Peninsula and directly across from Sidney. Brentwood
Bay is a small town with services within walking distance from the marina.

I keep my boat in North Saanich Marina and while I don't live aboard, many
people do.

I used to keep Mistaya moored in Maple Bay. Visited again last fall.
It's the first real marina north of Vic that feels like a busy anchorage
instead of a frantic parking lot. All the necessary amenities and Duncan
is 15 minutes away.
