Discover Boating Center

Drop by the Discover Boating Centre and
find out why life is better with a boat!

The purpose of the Discover Boating Centre is simple – to help people become boaters. No matter what your level of involvement in boating, there is something for everyone to see, learn and enjoy. If you are planning to buy your first boat, you can speak to our expert staff to learn about different boat types and what boat is right for you and your family. Or, if you have been boating for some time, you may be looking for information on moving up in size, buying new for the first time after buying pre-owned in the past or perhaps getting into a new type of boating altogether. Want to know about boating courses, safety information, boat financing? All your boating questions can be answered at the Discover Boating Centre.
