Make Victoria International Marina Your Winter Home Port
When the summer cruising season starts to wind down, one of the biggest questions for owners and captains is simple: where will the yacht spend the winter?
This year, a limited number of winter berths have become available at Victoria International Marina for yachts from 65′ to 120′, with availability beginning October 1.
For anyone still making winter plans, Victoria offers a pretty compelling option: a secure home port, a dedicated marina team, easy access to the city, and some of the Pacific Northwest’s best cruising right outside the harbour.
Why choose Victoria International Marina for winter moorage?
Victoria is one of those places that works well both on and off the water.
You’re close to the Gulf Islands, the Salish Sea, Vancouver Island and routes north toward the Inside Passage, but you’re also minutes from downtown Victoria, restaurants, hotels, shopping and services.
That makes it a practical winter base for owners, captains and crew, especially if the yacht will still be used periodically through the colder months.
Victoria International Marina is purpose-built for larger yachts and offers nightly, monthly, annual and long-term moorage options.
A marina designed around how you actually use your yacht
Winter moorage is about more than finding an open slip.
It’s about knowing the yacht is somewhere secure, well-supported and easy to return to when you need it.
At Victoria International Marina, owners, captains and crew have access to:
- Secure moorage
- Shore power
- High-speed fibre Wi-Fi
- Slip-side pump-out
- Water connections
- Crew facilities
- Professional marina operations
- Concierge support
The marina team can also help with practical needs like provisioning, transportation, dining reservations, crew changes and other logistics.
More than somewhere to leave the yacht
One of the advantages of choosing Victoria as a winter home port is that you’re not simply parking the vessel and walking away.
You have a marina team nearby, a city within easy reach and access to local marine services if something comes up during the season.
And when the weather cooperates, you’re already positioned for some of the most beautiful cruising in the Pacific Northwest.
That combination of convenience, support and location is what makes Victoria such a strong winter base.
Limited winter moorage available October 1
A small number of slips are currently available for yachts between 65′ and 120′.
Because moorage for larger yachts on the West Coast can be difficult to secure, owners, captains and yacht managers who are still finalizing winter plans are encouraged to reach out early.
If Victoria is part of your plans this winter, we’d be happy to talk through vessel size, dates and current availability.
