SIDNEY, BC.  World-class yachting facility, Van Isle Marina of Sidney BC continues to enhance its marina experience with the July opening of its ‘Yacht Park’, a storage and maintenance facility.

The Yacht Park spans approximately four acres including 200 feet of dedicated service dock and boasts a 45-ton self-propelled submersible haul-out trailer, one of the first of its kind on the west coast.  Full-service yacht maintenance and repair will be conducted with personal attention to detail in a superbly maintained facility surrounded by landscaped grounds.

The new facility has been constructed to the highest environmental standards and provides high security for yacht storage and maintenance.”
