In addition to docking your boat, you can also enjoy off-shore fishing, dragon boat races, and even rent green space for your family reunion, outdoor wedding, or other events.
Crate Marine Belleville is just west of Victoria Park. This full-service marine centre has 220 floating docks with power, water, showers, and high-speed internet. Plus, an all-new 40 slip harbour with floating docks is coming in spring 2020.
