Treazure is moored at Point Roberts Marina USA. Moorage space and slip availability is one of the biggest concerns on the west coast. Crescent Beach Marina (our first choice) has had a two year wait for years, as do all Vancouver area marinas. After the initial excitement of purchasing Treazure we were in a bit of a quandry. Finally we had our boat but nowhere to put her. After much inquiry, we heard about Point Roberts Marina, checked it out before delivery and we were happy with what we saw. It has continued to be a great choice with great service and facilities!
* Note : Point Roberts currently has slip availability for 3o ft. * Call the office at (360) 945-2255 for information.
The Marina's close proximity to the Gulf Islands and San Juans is a huge benefit. It is popular with sailboats for precisely that reason. On a flat calm day our cruiser can be at the entrance to Active Pass in 35 minutes, Montague Harbour in 45 minutes, peaceful Patos Island under 20 minutes, and Suchia Island under 30 minutes. Fantastic!
Wide concrete docks, the most spotlessly clean bathrooms and showers ever, laundry, friendly dockmates, good dog walking for Daisy, and excellent storm protection make me happy.
Broadband Express makes Laura happy.
The fuel dock (gas, diesel, propane) which sells fishing licences, bait, beer, ice, and pop, the pump out station, a full service repair and chandlery with haulout, great fish and chips at the Dockside Cafe all make John happy.
Taunya and Jackie at the marina office are super friendly and helpful.
Last year they gave us good advice about the different docks and let us choose our slip.
Ben and Sheila Lazarus just purchased Westwind Marine Services last fall and are combining the full service chandlery with their previous marine canvas business. Ben is very helpful, and has patiently answered all our questions. Good luck to them both.
The Marina Club has great facilities as well as reciprocals at numerous other docks (last count 70) - more about that later.
The Canadian and US border crossing can add alittle wait time to your trip. Also, anchoring or docking in Canadian waters takes some planning. A Nexus Pass will alleviate much of the rigmarole. The conveniences and facilities of the marina far outweigh this.
Point Roberts is a great marina with great services. Don't hesitate to check it out.
