News: GBL Boat Club: Securing Boating Access to Cottages on Southern Georgian Bay

GBL Blue

June 26, 2025

Georgian Bay Landing, a trusted marina serving the region for over 60 years, has entered a new chapter. The property has been successfully purchased by a group of dedicated marina users and officially renamed GBL Boat Club.

GBL Boat Club, a member-owned, not-for-profit corporation, will start operations at the beginning of 2026. It ensures long-term boat access to cottages in southern Georgian Bay including in the Honey Harbour, Cognashene, and Go Home Bay areas. With 200 boat slips and ample parking, the Club provides its members with permanent slip ownership—ensuring peace of mind for cottagers who rely on boat access.

Key Member Benefits

• Permanent Slip Ownership – Membership provides a lifetime guarantee of slip access—an essential resource for boat-only-access properties.

• Member Governance – The Club is fully governed by its members, with an elected Board of Directors.

• Reinvestment in Infrastructure – As a not-for-profit, revenue will be reinvested into marina improvements—such as dock upgrades, boat sheds, and amenities.

How to Join

Membership is open to cottagers seeking summer dockage and winter storage. With a majority of slips already committed, limited spots remain. Interested cottagers are encouraged to reach out soon to secure their place.

Story and photos by Jennifer M. Smith

We’d been north before on a short two-week cruise. At the time, we were unprepared for the isolation, the lack of cell phone coverage, and the spotty VHF reception. Since then we’ve repowered, installed Starlink, and retired from work. Now, with confidence in our engine and our connectivity and more time to sail, we were Superior-ready.
