Hector Quay Visitors Marina
Notice to Public (Update posted October 2024): Currently the marina is closed and undergoing construction and expansion. The project focuses on enhancing the marina’s capacity and services, making it a top destination for boaters in the region. The Hector Quay Visitors Marina will reopen with expanded berths and state-of-the-art amenities, including fueling stations, water and electrical upgrades, and sewage disposal services. Once this project is complete it will position Pictou as a premier maritime hub. The construction project will take 2 years to complete and is anticipated to reopen for 2027 season.
