Our staff has worked hard to ensure the environmental best practices we have put in place are adhered to, and increasing our rating by 2 anchors is a real testament to our commitment to protect the environment. We’re looking forward to working with GSA to attain a 5-Anchor rating in the near future.”

Recreational boaters can also access the Clean Marine BC Clean Boating Program to find facilities, services and information that support minimizing the impacts of recreational boating on the environment.
Boat Pressure Wash Station
Vessels Pressure Wash is available at Shelter Island Marina and Boatyard. Vessels are pressure washed in our Environmental Water Treatment Pit and our experienced staff are extremely professional when it comes to cleaning hulls.
This Environmental Water Treatment Pit system which was constructed in 2008 contains the contaminants from the hull of the vessel which helps keep the boat yard environmentally friendly. The water is recycled and the system collects the contaminants into holding tanks through a drainage system which is then hauled away for proper disposal.
Clean Marine B.C. Program
Pressure washing vessels and Boat recycling/demolition at Shelter Island Marina is all part of our ongoing environmental practices, ensuring our 4 anchor eco marina rating with the Clean Marine B.C. program by The Georgia Strait Alliance.
Boat Recycling/Demolition
The recently launched boat recycling program at Shelter Island Marina has helped to gain us a 4 Anchor Eco Marina Rating with the Clean Marine BC program.
When boats are recycled, hazardous materials such as gasoline, diesel, heavy fuels, lubricating oils, battery acids and paints containing lead or copper are removed.
During the preparation process, our 4,000-litre tanks collect wastewater to be stored, treated and reused for various jobs such as pressure washing.
We're capable of hauling boats up to 130 feet and 220 tons into our yard to be wrecked for recycling.
