Explore: Nova Scotia

There is a large number of ports in Nova Scotia but few of them have berthing specifically for yachts. Fishing is the major industry here and the docks are geared for their more robust boats. With permission, it is usually possible to raft alongside a fishing boat but, be warned, if it is the fishing season they will be off very, very early.

Where there are yacht pontoons, they are likely to be removed during the winter (mid-October to mid May) as many harbours can ice up during this time.
