Very friendly marina with great facilities. Restaurant was very good and reasonably priced. No surrounding community for walking but only 30min to Sidney. Highly recommend!

Port de Caraquet is a great overnight stop on the way to PEI! Well protected, great floating docks, 30 Amp power. Comfortable depth for 5' draft. Fuel next door in the commercial harbor. Some cool artisan shops and small restaurants right at the marina. Walk to nice grocery and additional shops along with regional hospital. Easy English speaking. Highly recommend!

Marina Review for Safe Harbor Shelburne Shipyard

Had a great experience with Safe Harbor Shelburne! On short notice Andrew had scheduled us in for an oil and filter change. When I was checking pod oil I found water in one pod transmission. Andrew got us hauled out almost immediately for inspection. A propshaft test showed both were out of spec and some evidence of oil seep on the one side. There are limited larger boat services in the are and Andrew took care of getting the props custom delivered and picked up for balance and tuning. They called in a very professional local independent (Mike at Lake Champlain Yacht Service). Mike is Volvo trained and certified. He replaced both shafts and seals and had us on our way within 10days of haul out. We bought the boat used and now we know how smooth it should run! Great staff and experience all around!

Well kept marina with good power, water and facilities. Don't miss Croton Dam and Fallsif you have the time. Steve, the dockmaster will do whatever he can to help out!
