Montague Marina

Montague

Dec 5, 2016

Many boats cruising between Charlottetown and Nova Scotia often bypass what is, in my opinion, one of the nicest areas of PEI. The so called “Three Rivers Region” encompasses the rivers accessed from Cardigan Bay. The approaches are deep and the channels well marked to marinas at Cardigan, Brudenell (bring your golf clubs) and Montague. The Marina at Montague is located conveniently for restaurants, groceries etc. A draft of 10ft can be carried even at low water for the 5 mile trip up river to the marina and manager Andrew Rowe tells us he has accommodated yachts as large as 120ft.

The marina operates form May 1st until October 31st and accommodates approximately 60 boats on floating docks. Six to eight berths are reserved for visiting yachts. Washrooms with showers, premium gasoline and unmarked diesel fuel, a mast crane (for boats up to about 30 ft.), and a concrete launch ramp are on site. Sewage pump-out is available for a $10 fee. There is a night watchman and security gates.

Rates are 1.25 /ft. per day and 6.25/ft. by the week. For all information contact 902-838-2528 or visit: http://www.townofmontaguepei.com/marina

Here’s an aerial view of the marina:

Bennington 22 MSB

By Andy Adams

If you’ve already had firsthand experience with a pontoon, you will easily understand the appeal of the Bennington 22 MSB. But if you haven’t, let’s start by reviewing a few of the reasons why pontoon boats have become top sellers in markets across North America.

Pontoon boats began in the early 1950s as basically four steel drums lashed to a frame. They were not unlike the log rafts of ancient cultures and not much more sophisticated at first.

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
