Moorage in British Columbia

[Ernest Skublics]

Hello, Friends,
I am just about despairing of finding a spot in BC to keep a boat that I can actually afford. Does anybody know of a marina where a boat could live, summer and winter, in the water and, preferably, on hard in the winter, for a total cost under $2,000? Let's call it a 26-foot boat. I'm not buying until I find such a place, whether on the coast or on some decent lake. I hope somebody out there knows of this hidden treasure.

Look into Squamish, or just near it (before it). Hope that helps. Best

with those parameters you are looking at paying less that $7 / foot / month. Not including tax and charges and hauling in/out if on the hard.
In BC that is a near impossibility.
imho cheapest moorage in BC will be found northern part of Vancouver Island or sunshine coast, and maybe Ladner/fraser river delta.
There are cheaper possibilities in Washingtom state, down to $5/foot/month
I am kinda in the same boat as you. The cheapest option for keeping a boat here is either on a trailer or on a private mooring - these pop up for sale every once in a while for $1500 - $2500. You can have one installed for 2-3K I believe for a 26 footer.

I have no idea about interior BC...

You can always keep it down here on the Columbia for 2-3 dollars/foot/month. Plenty of small berths open in my marina. Or a 26 footer you might just trailer it.
