Marinas and Boat Launches

The City is replacing one of the two day docks located at the end of Johnson St. in Confederation Basin with a commercial transfer dock, as the current day dock is at the end of its service life.

The new commercial dock will support small- to medium-sized tour boat and passenger operations. It will be 50 ft. long and 12 ft. wide, available for local commercial vessels to rent on an hourly basis. Contact us for more details about this opportunity.

The new dock is expected to open by June 12.

The second public day dock in Confederation Basin remains open, with daytime capacity for pleasure craft and visitors accessing the downtown.

Kingston's stunning waterfront offers a scenic setting for recreational boating, scuba diving, sailing on Lake Ontario and much more.
