It is a shame that I have to give this marina only 2 stars when I think the problem is with the municipality. The prices here are excessive for what you get. $2.25 ft/day for 50 amp dockage (there are only two 50 amp plugs so confirm availability and placement unless you have a very long cord). The marina is ok, but not worth that price. Diesel was $2.60 litre! When I asked them about the high cost since we just paid $2.30 litre 2 days prior in Victoria Harbour, and everywhere else on the bay seemed to be $2.45 or less, they stated "things get pricey as you go north"! Not true as we travelled 60 miles north to Tobermory and the diesel was $2.20 litre there the same day, and dockage was $2.00. Nicer marina to boot. It always amazes me how short sighted some municipalities are. Charge to much and the boaters (customers) will just go somewhere else to spend their money at the stores and restaurants. Maybe the township just doesn't care. I cared enough to move on. I hope you are paying attention Wiarton.

Wiarton is a great stop, not too far down Colpoy Bay off of Georgian Bay and a nice days trip from Collingwood or Christian Island area. A great marina, nice deep water docks and friendly helpful staff. Promptly answered phone calls and VHF and provided great assistance into the slip.
There is an amazing chandlery on site with almost everything you could need. Excellent grocery store ten minute walk, banks, shops all within walking distance. Our first time up the west shore, we'll be back!
