Coordinate is the OSM marina outline. Phone 250-629-2100; VHF 66A is reported. Guest moorage in about 95 slips plus side-tie for boats up to about 30 m (100 ft), 30 amp power. Fuel dock with gas, diesel and ice. Liquor store, cafe with convenience goods, bistro and seasonal fine dining; heated pool, hot tub and coin laundry.
