Toronto Trip
 

I am looking at taking my boat to Toronto to see a Blue Jays game.
Just wondering what marina is close to the Rogers Center. I see a few different ones on line. Looking for one with showers, gas dock.
Looking for some advise.

Thanks,
Chris

Chris, Marina Quay West is the nearest facility to the Rogers Center. They accept vessels up to 50 foot long. You can walk to the game from this location. http://www.harbourfrontcentre.com/th...ourmarinas.cfm

Where are you coming in from? When do you plan on making this trip?

There are lots of marinas down there. The cab ride to the Rogers Centre from any of them is minimal.

Try looking online for Ontario Place. See whats there.
Little bit further away but quieter and not subject to ferry traffic and boat slop as at Harbourfront.

If you pick the right day at Harbourfront you could have about 3000 people watching you try to dock in a place filled with lots of in and out traffic.

Heavy police traffic in that area so have everything you need on board.

Lots to look at down there. Enjoy !!!

I boat out of Buffalo NY, Lake Erie, so my plan was to trailer the boat to Wilson and go across Lake Ontario. The games I want to go to are in June.

Toronto's waterfront is a zoo around the city centre on a nice day on the weekend.

Just be mindful of that. What size is your boat ??

AND is it noisey ??? The police are not nice downtown with loud boats.

You are in Blowboater territory.

I have a 388 Hustler Slingshot. I have heard that about the noise, I guess the silent choice will have to be used.
Would I be better off leaving on Friday to avoid the marina madness?
Also the one marine I looked at said they do not take reservation.
With all the traffic I would hate to get there with no place to stay!

Thanks,
Chris

Call Ontario Place. Get a reservation.

Once you get in the area known as inner harbour ( between downtown core and Toronto Islands....entered by Eastern Gap or Western Gap) the police are very active.

There is fuel there and no where near as busy.

And DONT cross without GPS. You can see CN Tower easily to get there EXCEPT that lake is always cold and I've been there numerous times when its so foggy you cant see 100 ft.

There is lots to see and enjoy at the waterfront though.

Ontario Place......4 minute cab ride to downtown....walk to stadium.

Have a great time !!!!!

Thanks for all your help. At the rate the spring is going I will be able to skate to Toronto. I would save on gas!

Thanks again,

Chris

Tell me about it:lolhit:

They announcing on TV this morning that the ski hills 1 hour north of the city are open on this long weekend.:eek:

The weekend you come, PM me and I'll give you some tips for when you get over here by boat.

Happy Easter

Sounds good. I get in contact with you before I leave.
