The Town of Pictou is seeking Expressions of Interest from qualified individuals, organizations or companies interested in managing the newly redeveloped Town of Pictou Waterfront Marina for the 2027 boating season and beyond.
Following a $12.5 million redevelopment of Market Wharf and the marina facilities, this is an exciting opportunity to operate a modern waterfront marina featuring 57 seasonal and transient berths, floating docks, fueling and pump-out facilities, upgraded water and electrical services, and a Marina Hospitality Centre.
The successful operator will provide professional day-to-day marina management while delivering a welcoming, safe and exceptional experience for boaters and visitors.
Expressions of Interest are due by 4:00 p.m. on September 4, 2026. Submissions must be provided in a sealed envelope to the Town of Pictou. Electronic and fax submissions will not be accepted.
For complete details and submission requirements, please review the full Expression of Interest document.
NOTICE: Pictou Waterfront Boat Ramp Closure
- Details
- Published: Thursday, 06 August 2026 16:21
Effective immediately, the public boat launch ramp on the Pictou Waterfront is closed due to ongoing construction at Market Wharf. As work progresses closer to the shoreline, the launch ramp can no longer be safely accessed.
While we understand this may be an inconvenience, this closure marks another important step in the transformation of our waterfront.
The good news is that construction of a new public boat launch ramp is scheduled to begin this fall near Pier B (lands to the right) at the end of Depot Street, with completion anticipated in spring 2027. The new launch ramp will be part of the Town's revitalized waterfront and marina development, providing improved access for boaters for years to come.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue investing in the future of Pictou's waterfront.
For more information, please contact the Town Office at 902-485-4372
