One of the maintenance workers didn't like that I used the bathroom for water and sat on the picnic table trying to charge my phone and get out of the sun for a minute. The two young female workers are awesome though they didn't mind me getting some water for my water bottle and even let me use the wifi while waiting for the sun to go down a bit.

The Man last name Cameron though was extremely unfriendly thinking I am some sort of criminal. I have been criminally inactive and am no longer on probation the only things the town of port hawkesbury have against was incidents from 9 years ago.

Pretty sure he is just jealous because I'm younger and better looking than him lol 😂

I have some medical issues and have been celebate for 5 years because of it. He drives a blue truck and think he's king of the world because he works maintenance at a yacht club extremely unfriendly if it was just the two friendly students if give 5 out of 5 but he banned me for no good reason so it is what it is.

What a great spot to stop and rest overnight just before crossing the Canso lock. We called ahead and though they were going to close before we got there, they waited for us to arrive and even stayed to let us fill our jerry cans with diesel. They have laundry facilities here and a very nice and clean shower. It was a short walk into town where we ate at A-1 Pizza and had ice cream at the Groovebox. Thank you very much to Jacob and the others for accommodating us and for being so friendly.

This is a beautiful facility for anyone sailing through the area. We stopped in while sailing from Shediac to Halifax, and it was a very convenient port with great facilities. The club house is new, with large and clean bathrooms, and spotless showers.

Shout out to Tia, who was on duty for our weekend stay. She took great care of us, was very friendly and helpful, and gave great advice on places to eat and buy supplies. She even pulled over to give us a drive when she saw us walking on the highway to NAPA when she was off duty. Absolutely amazing person. See you next year Tia!

Small marina with very friendly and helpful staff. Bathroom, showers and laundry area clean and comfortable. Great staging spot coming or going through the Canso Canal Lock. Water and 30amp electric included in the very reasonable trasient rates.

The Strait of Canso Yacht Club was established in 1964. As a member-run facility, the club depends on its members to donate their time and talents to keep the docks in good repair, maintain the clubhouse and even water the flowers.

Members each take about four days throughout the summer months to work a 12 hour shift at the marina. So if you are visiting, you’ll be greeted by a friendly fellow boater and volunteer SCYC member.

The beautiful new Club House is equipped with two computers, Wi-Fi, comfortable sitting areas, clean washrooms, showers and coin laundry facilities. The kitchen has fridge, stove, microwave, coffee maker, dishwasher, dishes, utensils, etc. The Club House is licensed with a full bar. The Club House is also a beautiful spot for group functions.

The SCYC is within walking distance (or a very short drive) to banks, grocery stores, shops, restaurants, and liquor store.

Stretch your legs by taking a stroll on the boardwalk along the waterfront.
If you’re visiting on a summer Sunday night, be sure to check out the Granville Green Concert.

Very nice place. On Sundays they usually have live music which is almost always great. Great prices on alcohol during events.
