About Us
Nanaimo's Premier Newcastle Channel Marina Since 1995
Townsite Marina has been part of Nanaimo's waterfront since 1995. Located at the southern entrance to Newcastle Channel, the marina is one of the best-maintained facilities in the harbour, with a full-time onsite manager and secure, well-maintained docks. Rates compare favourably with marinas in both Vancouver and Victoria.
