Lake Erie’s expansive waters beckon to sailing enthusiasts, and Port Dover Harbour stands as Norfolk County’s premier gateway to some of the Great Lakes’ finest sailing experiences. As the deepest harbour in the region, Port Dover Harbour Marina welcomes sailboats with drafts up to six feet, making it an ideal destination for sailors seeking both seasonal moorage and transient docking in the heart of Ontario’s Garden.
Port Dover Harbour’s strategic location offers sailors the perfect balance of protected moorage and easy access to Lake Erie’s open waters. The harbour’s depth accommodates sailboats with deeper drafts that many smaller marinas cannot handle, while still maintaining the intimate, community-focused atmosphere that makes Norfolk County special. Seasonal slip rentals provide sailors with a home base for exploring the lake’s diverse coastline and charming lakeside communities.
