Loyalist Cove Marina

While enroute to Halifax in our sailboat we experienced engine issues (dirt in diesel tank clogged line). This happened just East of Toronto. Called several marinas and town harbours requesting a diesel mechanic when we got in.....nope not one....and the places we called were very indifferent.
A friend recommended Loyalist Cove if we could sail that far.
I called Brandon and immediately knew I had someone that was dialed in!
We sailed through the night and were welcomed at the dock by Emma who knew her stuff. We got tied up at the service dock and down comes Brendan to introduce the mechanic (Chris) to us. This was Saturday morning! We stayed at a friend's in Kingston and when we got back to the boat Monday Chris has diagnosed and fixed the fuel issue. He then told me about two other issues (one I was aware of but was dragging my feet on). Parts were ordered and as they were going to be a week to get there we took off and sailed the area. Stopped at Confederation Basin for a night (which didn't hold a candle to Loyalist Cove.....sorry Kingston).
Brendan got hold of us and told us to come back in as the parts had arrived. Work was done then by Chris. Chris is no BS and works away. He allowed me to watch and learn, which is VERY unusual and decent. Would you want a customer looking over your shoulder as your working? I kept my mouth shut and eyes open to learn! I won't go over everything he did but full service with an Master Class thrown in. We are ready to go again Eastbound to Halifax. On the land side the clubhouse is brand new with a great lounge area with a new BBQ and kitchen. The washroom/showers are brand new and spotless. An 11 minute walk up the street is a LCBO/Beer agency convenience store right across from a pharmacy. Brendan even loaned us a couple of bikes to get there.
I can't say enough about the Loyalist Cove people. They know their stuff, they actually give a damn and are very friendly.

We had our Beneteau 423 stored at Loyalist Cove Marina this winter and must say the team are amazing. Everything was like clock work during the haul-out and they had the right machinery and experienced staff to make it stress free for the owner. Their facility is also quite impressive as the friendly staff! Thank you LCM!!

We had a great experience at this marina, needed some fibreglass work done on our boat and they were able to get it done and back in the water in a matter of days. Josh is incredibly knowledgeable, a true master of his craft! You can tell that everyone who works here has incredible pride in what they do, it shows in their workmanship. Thanks again for all of your help.

David Hinton and his team at Loyalist Cove are amazing. With an indoor shop just down the road and the ability to handle cruising sailboats up to 50ft the marinas services are top notch. We had our boat in the shop for the winter of 2015-16 for a refit. The work done by Loyalist was all done well and close to the estimates provided. We were able to do much of the work ourselves, using there staff for the more fiddly and skilled fibreglass work we are not good at.

The attitude of the staff is great, they get sailors, moreover they get cruising sailors getting ready for the big trip. Eager to help and take on work as needed and just as happy to enable us to do the work ourselves.

This is the 2nd time I've use the services of Loyalist Cove and the reason I called them was because of the excellent service the first time. The guys have just unstepped my mast, loaded my boat on their trailer and are on their way to storage. The speed and efficiency with which they did this was amazing. VERY competent and knowledgeable. When I used them before, my boat had been hit and had a big hole in it! They fixed it, and you'd never know anything happened. When they noticed the prop shaft looked a bit long, they called the boat designer and spoke to THE ROBERT PERRY himself to get the exact measurements. Incredible. Any boat repairs at all, transport etc - call them. VERY good to work with.

Came from Trenton since there were no reliable mast services anywhere. This was the most organized and best mast stepping I've ever had. True professionals and extremely well executed.

We have had our 38 ft sailboat at Loyalist Cove Marina for three years. The staff are wonderful to deal with and the shop can handle just about any issue you may have with your vessel.

Had my 46' ketch there for a major refit over the past few years. Only professionals on their team - fiberglass, woodwork, mechanics, electrical, .. they know their stuff, and do outstanding work. Marina is a nice community as well, and a great place to be.

Found this hidden gem by accident. The staff here are friendly, helpful and skilled! We moved our haul out location to here and they took great care of us and our boat. So glad we found this place!

Great spot. One of the best run marinas I have seen. Very professional and friendly staff. Very helpful when in need of something. I highly recommend it if you are looking to store your boat.

Lift your spirits and take an early Sunday morning walk on the boardwalks with a coffee👍👌

Wer stopped to pump out and fill up with water. The attendant was very friendly and helpful. The dock was easy to access.

Very good customer service!
