Saysutshun Newcastle Island Docks puts you on a provincial marine park island just a short hop from downtown Nanaimo, with overnight dockage running $14 per vessel per night. You can only reach the island by water, so tying up here means you've got the trails, beaches, and historic pavilion essentially to yourself once the day ferry stops running at 8pm. It's a genuinely wild overnight stop with a city skyline in the background — a rare combination you won't find at most marinas.
