One of the most common questions we receive is whether we accept new customers.
The answer is yes.

What Makes Shuswap Marina Different?
The answer is simple.
We are a marina.
Unlike many marine repair facilities that operate away from the water, we have direct access to Shuswap Lake.
This allows us to test boats on the water, evaluate real-world performance, verify repairs under actual operating conditions, and diagnose issues that may not appear while a boat is sitting on a trailer.
Many mechanical and performance-related problems only reveal themselves when a boat is operating under load and on the water.
Having direct lake access gives our technicians a significant advantage when troubleshooting and verifying repairs.
We don’t just repair boats;
We make sure they perform properly where it matters most—on the water.
