There are a large number of marinas in the area around Vancouver, known as Lower Mainland. Those in False Creek and Burrard Inlet are convenient for downtown and allow you to be in the centre of the action!.
For major repairs and hauling out, the area to the south, around Richmond provides a greater choice of suppliers and services. For a quieter life and impressive scenery, West or North Vancouver (Howe Sound) is a useful base, while still within reach of the city via the ferries.
Short term anchoring is permitted in Vancouver's downtown area at False Creek, but boats need to get a permit when anchoring here. See this Anchoring Map for False Creek.
Permits are free of charge and available at Heather Civic Marina. Further information is available on the City of Vancouver website. However, access to shore is limited due to private development of the shore facilities.
