Cruising Guide

Cruising Georgian Bay and the Thirty Thousand Islands

Georgian Bay is well known as a cruiser’s paradise for good reason. From the cliffs of the Bruce Peninsula to the busy harbours of off Severn Sound to the winding Small Craft Route up the eastern shore, Georgian Bay offers variety, scenery and adventure for the cruising boater. This webinar explores Georgian Bay’s beautiful anchorages as well as the towns and small settlements that serve the boating community along its shores.

This webinar takes a tour around Georgian Bay first exploring the towns and anchorages along Georgian Bay’s western shore on the Bruce Peninsula. We then head over to the 30,000 Islands along the eastern shore of Georgian Bay and take a journey along the small craft route visiting anchorages and communities from Penetanguishene to Byng Inlet. Follow our presenter, GLCC Rear Commodore Dave Spencer as he guides us through anchorages, provisioning ports and navigation challenges that may be faced by the cruising boater. This webinar is jam packed with up to date information that is sure to be useful for experienced Georgian Bay boaters as well as those new to the area.
