"Sneak aboard" moorage in Vancouver/Lower Mainland?

[Carogan]

Hello all!

I live in the Lower Mainland in British Columbia (Vancouver, BC area) and wondered if anyone could tell me if there are any marinas that freely offer "sneak aboard" moorage?

I'm well aware that liveaboard is very difficult to find here - I haven't had much success finding anything that advertises liveaboard.

But I'm wondering if there are any marinas that offer moorage but don't advertise liveaboard but who clearly allow liveaboards to stay in their marina if they have nice, clean boats and are clearly an asset to the marina community as opposed to a pain in the rear. A "don't ask, don't tell" culture where living aboard isn't against the marina culture even though it isn't openly solicited?

(and feel free to pm me if you don't want to post the information too!!)

Thank you to all who contribute!

My advice is to casually ask employee's at marina's and not at there office. Port Moody, Deep Cove or Fraser River would be your best bet.
