Courtenay and Comox, British Columbia, on the East Coast of Vancouver
Island, Canada. A new office building is now completed and we've moved in!

Building Dedication.
Boaters
traveling Georgia Strait,
the
Gulf Islands, and Baynes
Sound will find moorage, marine services and tourist facilities to make
their marine cruise more enjoyable. The Comox dock is just minutes walking from
downtown, a 9-hole golf course, and 2 marine pubs! Fish is often available
directly from the fishermen at the Fish Sales dock.
Both
the Comox Harbour Marina and the Courtenay Slough
Marina are communities in themselves, with plenty to see or do. Mingle
with friendly locals, chat with fishermen getting their boats in order, or just
stroll the new walkway on top of the breakwater for a fabulous view of the Comox
glacier. There is always lots going on.
From
before written history "Comox" has meant 'Place of
Abundance' to the natives that roamed the British Columbia coast. As Vancouver
Island was settled and cultivated by European settlers, this became even more
true. The Comox Valley's ocean, farms, mountains, and rivers give great
diversity to anyone's visit. Today, the classic wooden boats, the multitude of
fishing boats, and the friendly co-existence of pleasure and commercial
boat owners on the Comox marina dock are a part of our marine history and
working heritage.
In summer months the
Comox Harbour commercial fish boats travel to their BC fishing grounds and leave
open docks at the marina for transient vessels passing by Vancouver
Island. Comox has full facilities - including a new pump out station.
