Boating

The "Perfect Bucket List Boat Charter" In September, 2023, we bareboat chartered Bella Vita, a 53' power yacht out of Desolation Sound Yacht Charters, Comox, and cruised through the Discovery Islands. We have done bareboat charters for our 20 years in many places (Med, Caribbean, Mexico, etc.). This was the best bareboat chapter trip we have experience. DSYC is a 5-star charter company and Bella Vita was the perfect boat. It had Starlink satellite internet (for those in our group who could not resist checking emails and doing Zoom meetings). It also came with 2 SUPs and 2 kayaks - a complete package. The essential electronics, mechanical issues, and appliances all worked great and the engines were very fuel efficient - we only used 364 litters in 7 days! I highly recommend DSYC and in particular, Bella Vita. Take a skipper with you, if you have not done tidal rapids before. This is NOT a place to learn by trial and error. Also we recommend e-biking Quadra Island and touring the Nuyumbalees Cultural Center

Berths are clean and tidy. Fees of $59 covers, berth, electricity, wifi, hot showers and a carpark space if required. Staff are friendly and helpful and the fuel dock is next door. Campbell River is the Salmon fishing capital of Vancouver Island! Place is warmer than Vancouver.

All your boating needs in one place!

They had a good inventory and great staff you working when I was there. I purchased fur ATV tires and got them for almost 35% off retail. Definitely recommend checking them out for any of your outdoor sports purchases.

Awesome sailing experience.

I worked here for a summer it was a great place to work all boats were shown alot of respect and the quality of work was above average

Warm Pacific waters to swim in with many beautiful anchorages. Watch for hidden rocks and very low tides...

Good service, fast and easy to get sailing in a well taken care boat.

Nice little beach shallow water perfect for kids outhouse across the street is clean and lots of public parking

Very helpful this past summer. Great service.

My dad bought a boat from Little River over 20 years ago got it serviced there off and on 20 years . Had great memories and great service. Brought boat in recently in for maintenance and service they said boat is to old and I had to take it elsewhere ! Ya thanks . 👎

Excellent customer service. We booked for a day with the possibilities of a thunderstorm and they continued to contact us in regards to the weather (looking out for our safety). We needed to cancel due to bad weather in the end, and they were extremely accomodating. We would definitely book with Magna Bay Adventure Sports again.

Awesome people. Great time.

couldn't ask for better people or service.

Beautiful park worth the trip for sure.

Almost worth giving it one star so fewer people go, but that’s not fair. Wonderful place. We found it clean, quiet, and very scenic. Dusty road (yes), bumpy (yes), a little risky because of bears? (Yes), but worth it. Clean up after yourself and store food properly.

Great place to get your boat in the water. I even parked in a construction zone next to the launch and the ranger didn't even question me! I'm going back!

The best place to get a flight authority in the Pacific region!!!
