Oak Bay Marina
1327 Beach Drive, Victoria, BC
About Oak Bay Marina
Oak Bay Marina is the main full-service facility on Victoria's east side, with permanent and transient moorage, a fuel dock, a chandlery, launch ramp, and on-site restaurant. It's a common starting point for salmon-fishing trips into Haro Strait and for cruisers heading to the Southern Gulf Islands.
Marina overview
Oak Bay Marina is located at 1327 Beach Drive in Victoria, on the eastern side of the Saanich Peninsula. It has been a fixture of the Oak Bay waterfront for many years. Its official website publishes information about moorage, its fuel dock, ship repair, parking, and visitor services.
The marina sits in the Oak Bay village area, a short distance from local restaurants, shops, and the golf and residential neighbourhoods that give this side of Victoria its distinct character. Many boaters depart from here for Discovery Island, Chatham Islands, and the waters off Cadboro Bay.
Location and boating area
Oak Bay opens directly onto Haro Strait and faces the San Juan Islands across the international boundary. The nearshore waters include reefs, kelp, and strong tidal currents in and around the Chain Islets and Discovery Island. Local knowledge and current chart data matter here.
Boaters should check tide and current predictions for Baynes Channel, Haro Strait, and Trial Island, along with current Notices to Mariners, before they depart. See our live marine weather and boating safety pages, and the Oak Bay area guide.
