Scudder Marina
Scudder Marina is a municipally operated marina, and is the only marina on Pelee Island. The Marina is located in the north bay of the island and has around 100 slips. The marina can accommodate boats up to 65 feet (only two boats this size will fit in the marina at once and must be docked at the end of the piers on the “T”). There are non-serviced slips along the eastern breakwall of the marina, and serviced slips (mostly 30 amp with a small handful of 50 amp) on the middle and west piers. Most of the fingers on the middle and west piers are 30 - 35 feet in length. The marina is typically quite deep (7-9+ feet at most docks) and rarely has issues accommodating boats with deep drafts.
Scudder Marina monitors VHF channel 68. The marina is an official Canadian point of entry and travellers coming from out of the country must bring their passports. While there are customs agents located on the island, those arriving at Scudder Marina from out of the country must call in their arrival to Canadian Customs at 1-888-226-7277. The captain of the vessel must be the one to call, and everyone must stay on board the boat until clearance has been given by a customs officer stating everyone may depart the boat. The only exception to this is for the boat captain to leave the boat to use the office phone or payphone to call in their arrival.
Reservations are not required at Scudder Marina but are highly encouraged, especially on Canadian and American long weekends and holidays as it is not uncommon for the entire marina to fill up.
