Based on some research I did a couple of years back when Starry Horizons was looking for a haul-out, the following may help. Final choice would depend on how long you want to be out for. The question, though was around a Helia, so a couple of feet narrower than yours. This might impact the travel lifts, not the railways or crane


Lunenburg Foundry have a 75 tonne travel lift
Gold River Marina, Chester can do with a crane

Sampsons Boatyard in Isle Madame. They are on the east coast of Nova Scotia near the entrance to the Bras D’Or lakes. They have a 150 tonne Travelift. Samson Enterprises Ltd.
