Boatingbc.com was created after realizing that the recreational boating market in BC was being underserviced on the internet. What websites do exist, are generally run by a company promoting a product, and tend to be narrow in their focus.

Our idea is to bring as much information together in one place as a 'single stop shop' for mariners, to provide impartial information, to be specific to our province and region, and to cut down on the countless hours spent searching the internet for information.

Also, we are introducing our Interactive Guides, an idea which we think makes the most practical use of the internet, as an online resource for information sharing between boaters. In addition to providing information on destinations, marinas, services and more, our guides also allow YOU, the BC Boater, to contribute - by adding your reviews, opinions, or even publishing your tips to share with your fellow boaters in the community.

The website is hosted by, and created by TTS Automation Inc., of Port Moody, BC, at no cost. However, there are certain costs associated with hosting this site, so there is a small amount of advertising space available to interested commercial parties. We will maintain this advertising to a bare minimum to offset our direct costs only - this is not a profit making venture ! There will NEVER be a subscription cost for this website, however, as this website represents potential access to a market of 250,000 BC Boaters, we are hoping that commercial companies will support us through the limited advertising we are making available on the site.

AND we are inviting EVERYONE to contribute to the site in any form that they feel would benefit their fellow boaters ! Write a boat review, send in pictures, provide maintenance or repair tips, introduce us to your favorite destination ! Nothing can compare to getting different and varied opinions on the very subjective topic of recreational boating in our beautiful BC waters.

The value of this website relies heavily on contributions from everyone...and we look forward to hearing from you with your input and/or suggestions.
