BCCA Owners/ Members in good standing can enjoy a secure, well-equipped marina with a professionally built floating dock, moorage for 20 boats, with fresh water available at the moorage level, as well as the upper landing cleaning station. There are ten 30 ft. slips on the south side of the dock, ten 20 ft. slips on the north side, and space for one or two guest vessels at the eastern end. On the docks there are four water hoses and reels for use to clean, etc., the dock and vessels.
