Boating

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!!!

Let me inform you of the truth. This is Larry Meyer and I make a promise to my yacht owners that i will never let their yachts leave dock on charter without being satisfied that the skipper is competent, will not place their yacht at risk of damage. You are required to present your first day's route plan on a chart or iPad, tell me what winds you wind experience on the route and the tides and currents. I make no excuse for being direct, show me you have the skill and the orientation will be short and sweet. Kurt started by indicating that he was in Tsehum habour and not Port Sidney, so he did not take the time to know where he was, drew a straight line across to Bedwell over Dock island. That never goes down well and i told him to take his time and do a planned route and returned after an hour. This time he started by going in between to red markers and could not work out what was wrong. That's when I asked my instructor Bill Boyce to step in and evaluate if Kurt could recover. Bill took his time and eventually got Kurt to realize that he was unable to plan with lots of time and that this mandated that we could not allow him to do route planning while he was skipper. Bill planned the full week's route and I reluctantly allowed Kurt to continue his charter. Kurt, your skills are simply not up to standard to be in control of a yacht with crew that you should take care of. Try building your skills so that you know which throttle to use to rotate a catamaran. Staying at anchor because you lack the skill to handle the yacht in close quarters is not our standard. You are not welcome back to our fleet. My owners can concur. DAVID HENDERSON Here is the truth. David thought he ordered a washer dryer with his Leopard 44 in Feb 2015. Well he did not and i will attach his options sheet he approved. When he got to the yacht in Cape Town re ranted about this and I and Leopard catamarans did our best to have one fitted but there was no stock and he would not wait for a unit to arrive from Europe. i went out and shopped on my credit card for all the supplies for his yacht to do an Atlantic crossing with, that's when David refused to pay for the goods, told me i was cheating him when I charged him at cost. He priced each item on the net and i had overcharged him. I then discounted my at cost price to get resolution, still he refused to pay. That's when I logged a small claims suit and after a year, David finally paid after he never arrived to defend the case. I would let you know that David's behaviour in Cape Town was disgusting, the things he got up to are not what a President of a business should ever do. Nothing low class was out of the question. I never expected to stoop so low while entertaining clients. I never expected to be dealing with a cheat, after all i had handled close to CAD1M of his money during the purchase. Ask my boat owners if they ever felt at risk. I spent $12k on my card for his boat and it took 18 months to get refunded. Guess who the cheat is See image of his options sheet which does not even have a washer dryer offered under plumbing. We never agreed to install it as part of his purchase. We run an organisation that respects our clients but mostly delivered on the promise to our boat owners. If you cannot respect our owners wishes, no problem, there are other charter outfits, feel free to take your business there. Take a look at our fleet, ask our owners for a reference, ask many of our clients for a reference. Ask our insurance company about our history. But don't believe all the reviews as many times its only those people that are trouble that take the effort to write a review.

When you unknowingly park in their park I g spot your tires get slashed. Obviously great members of the community.

The owner, Peter, is very knowledgeable and helpful. If he doesn’t have what you require in stock he will order it and often it can be there by the next day. As a one man shop, he does need the occasional day or two off and will bring in staff to keep the shop open when he is away. Once or twice these staff have been a little off-putting but Peter has been quick to realize this and change them out. I highly recommend this chandlery for service and friendliness.

Beautiful day at the Gorge Park

Super helpful.

Really interesting store and terrific service. I'm a casual kayaker and don't fish but was absolutely amazed by the selection of everything-marine related including for power, sail, and all types of fishing. If you wanted to fix something on a yacht or anything smaller, I'm pretty sure you could get everything you needed here. I went in to get a handheld marine radio. Not only were their prices almost as low as Amazon (who else can say that), the staff pointed me toward a manufacturer's $40 USD mail in rebate that made it an even better deal than anything I found online. Will definitely keep this place in mind for future hardware and outdoor clothing shopping, too.

Very helpful. Precise. Answered all my questions.

Great place to rent! Relaxed atmosphere, professional staff and great value. Thanks again for making our day great!
