The Harbour Authority of Cortes Island
The Harbour Authority of Cortes Island manages five locations, Cortes Bay, Squirrel Cove Dock, Gorge Harbour Government Dock, Manson’s Landing Dock and Whaletown Dock. All provide safe well-maintained moorage facilities for a wide-ranging group of marine users year round. Each is surrounded by a small community providing plenty of services (except Cortes Bay which has no service) and many things to see and do.
Reservations are required prior to using our docks.
Our 2023 Summer Moorage package can be downloaded here, or can be picked up in paper format from the Cortes Market. Applications for moorage will be accepted in the order they are received, starting April 1st, and can be submitted via email to hacimgr@gmail.com, or by mail to PO Box 329, Manson’s Landing, V0P 1K0.
