Toronto Island Marina has over 350 berths to accommodate everyone. However, they like to think of their marina as much more than a place to tie up your craft. While most marinas may offer similar services to the Toronto Island Marina, they are certain that none offer the quality of our environment! Nestled between picturesque Centre and Muggs Islands in Toronto's inner harbour, it's intimate and calm; not just another liquid parking lot. The air is fresh and everywhere you look there is green. To the north, within an easy ferry ride, is Toronto one of the great cities in the world.

 
We ended the day at a rooftop pool party where an actual DJ was spinning some tracks. At night time we all went to Biermarkt on King Street for some delicious beers and eats.

Hail skipper. Sailing on Lake Ontario definitely makes for fantastic times with friends or family. Especially during the warm Ontario summers. It is important to reserve a boat before you go sailing, on a nice sunny day you can expect everything to be rented out. We had to wait for 2 hours while relaxing in the grass for a boat to return but once on the lake all was forgotten and the adventure could begin. Our friend Paul sailed the Caribbean for almost a year and taught us quite some tricks on the water. We encountered some serious problems initially since we had no idea which ropes to pull and we almost capsized the boat.

We rented the boat from Queens Quay Sailing and Powerboating, which I highly recommend.

They are conveniently located on Queen’s Quay, immediately south

of the Rogers Centre (Skydome) – easily accessible from Downtown

Toronto by foot, bicycle or car. There is lots of public parking

and the TTC stops right outside our door.

LOCATION: 275, Queens Quay West, Toronto, Ontario. M5V 1A2.
