Pacific Gateway Marina
Sitting inside San Juan Harbour near Port Renfrew, Pacific Gateway Marina is open year-round and can take vessels up to 80 feet, so you've got room whether you're running something serious or something modest. It's a fishing-focused stop with a genuine working-marina feel, well-positioned if you're heading up the west coast of Vancouver Island or exploring the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The wild coastline around Port Renfrew — with the Pacheedaht First Nation territory, the trailheads for the West Coast Trail, and some of the best salmon fishing on the island — makes this more than just a place to tie up.
