From avid sailors, luxury yacht owners and houseboat families to tugboat captains, skilled anglers and camp owners, Northern Harbour has been serving boaters in Sunset Country for over four decades – catering its service to accommodate the diverse range of preferences and interests of its customers.

Incredible People
Northern Harbour is home to an amazing floating community of friendly and fun-loving folks – united by a love of the lake. You won’t find a more kind, caring or helpful crew. A spare hand to grab a rope or carry a heavy load, advice, directions or a cold drink and a good laugh are likely never more than a dock slip away.

Summertime fun is always close at hand whether you’re at the dock or down the lake. From enjoying quality family time to quiet introspection to unwinding & letting loose – whatever lake life means to you, you’ll find it at Northern Harbour. For most of us, it’s a combination and often all points in between, but the end result is the same for everyone, making memories that last forever.
