Two popular Gulf Island cruising destinations in Sidney and on Pender Island are receiving changes and upgrades. Mill Bay Marine Groups improvements will bring new annual moorage opportunities at Port Browning and Port Sidney.
Complete at Pender Island’s Port Browning Marina Resort
- Installation of concrete wave attenuators. This offers improved wave protection — both in size and strength — and ensures year-round protection within the marina.
- The main docks have been replaced. Throughout Port Browning Marina visitors will now find modern, safe and stable walking platforms.
- Upgraded the power grid - each slip having a minimum of 30 amps and some with 50 amps.
- Improvements to the on-dock fire protection and the WiFi system.
- Addition of the Kraken Theatre offering weekly movies out of the Bridgemans Bistro.
Phase two of the development plan will increase dock space, creating additional moorage. There are also plans for a fuel dock.
“We have been operating the bistro space as an à la carte Bistro service as well as a private group booking space that caters to local groups, wedding guests and large moorage groups” explains Duane Shaw, President of the Mill Bay Marine Group. “Adding in the theatre has brought a unique and fun addition to the property.”
Port Sidney Marina
“There were many things that were operating ok, but not to the standard we wanted,” says Shaw. “We have worked on most aspects of the infrastructure, including improvements to the water, power and WiFi systems. We’ve also replaced most of the washers and dryers, we have new computer systems, barbeques, safety lighting, purchased a golf cart to help transport guests and the list goes on.”
Annual moorage at both locations is currently available. To find out more about annual moorage opportunities please call: 778-356-4303 or email contact@mbmg.ca
