Vancouver - General Info

Mar 04, 2023

Description: 

This large city is a must to visit for cruisers exploring the west coast of Canada. A great place for fitting out and provisioning before exploring the more remote areas of the coast.

Cruiser Highlights:

Plenty of marine services and provisioning in nearby areas.  Short term anchoring is permitted in Vancouver's downtown area at False Creek.  However, access to the shore is limited due to private development of the shore facilities.

Entrance Notes and Cautions:

If you need to transit Vancouver Harbour there are some things to be aware of, particularly if you haven't visited the area before.  These include Tides, Vancouver Harbour Traffic and the Second Narrow Bridge.    See the following checklist for some helpful information.
