Getting Here by Sea
The myriad bays, coves, and passages of Pender Harbour are convoluted but well protected. Visitors from Alaska to Mexico (and sometimes much further) arrive in balmy Pender Harbour, by water, year-round.
Seafarers are pleased that Pender Harbour has numerous marinas, marine parks, four government wharves and several waterfront pubs and restaurants. Several yacht clubs maintain outstations in Pender Harbour.
