Chéticamp Marina
Currently under construction, Chéticamp Marine Centre and Marina is a five million dollar project located on 60 acres of prime Cape Breton ocean front property. By summer, 2014, the Centre will have two wharves and a marine travel lift capable of lifting vessels weighing up to 200 tons. Large fishing boats as well as yachts and sailboats from around the world will be be accommodated in the spacious boat yard or storage building.
Our Chéticamp Marine Centre’s boat travel lift can handle trawlers, fishing boats, yachts, and sail boats up to 200 tons. The Cheticamp Marine Centre travel lift is the perfect solution for winterizing trawlers and fishing boats operating in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The lift will be in operation end of summer 2013.
Chéticamp’s Marine Centre and Marina will feature two wharves and outdoor space big enough to hold an estimated 500 boats of various size and tonnage. A large building where repairs or overhauls can be made will also be part of the facility. Cheticamp Boatbuilders are located near the Cheticamp Marine Centre and Marina and are a professional resource for those requiring specialized repairs to their boats. More on boat repairs and other services will be announced as the project develops in the months ahead.
