St Peters

Jan 25, 2017

The St. Peter’s Marina, located in the picturesque village of St. Peter’s at the entrance to the beautiful Bras d’Or Lakes is a great place to stay and prepare for a cruise of thee lakes. Some of the finest sailing I the world is done on the lakes with gentle, fog free waters, beautiful anchorages and hundreds of uncrowded coves and islands.

The marina is in a sheltered cove ¼ mile from the St. Peter’s Canal with 64 berths on floating docks and a marina wharf for larger vessels. There are also 10 moorings. Fuel, propane and a pump-out station are available.
