The Holyrood Marina Park Corporation is an incorporated non-profit organization, and was established in 2005. The HMPC board of directors have been tasked
to provide vision and guidance for the future operation and
development of the Holyrood Marina complex.
To ensure its success, we
depend on
the commitment and support of all its members. Please
encourage other boaters in the local area to
become familiar with the facilities and activities of the Holyrood Marina Park, and to take full advantage of our services.
Gasoline and Diesel Sales
Both gasoline and diesel fuel are available during normal office hours. Boats are not permitted to be fuelled via the use of portable fuel containers while at their normal wet berths. This not only provides an opportunity for an accident, but also risks polluting the marina. All fuel purchases are on a cash basis only, and may be paid by cash, credit card (Visa or Mastercard) or cheque.
Terra Nova Yacht Club is a vibrant and growing Club based within the Holyrood Marina, and offers Clubhouse and other amenities to its members. Click here to visit our website... |

Power Cables and Extension Cords
Members must disconnect all shore-power electrical connections when not aboard their boats for an extended period, especially when away from the boat overnight. The main concern is the fire hazard for those without certified connectors, however, there is also a galvanic problem caused by leaking ground currents getting into the water, causing excessive corrosion. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
The Marina Supervisor has been instructed to unplug any cords deemed to be left unattended. An attempt will be made to notify the boat owner, however, it is the boat owners responsibility to contact the Marina Supervisor if a temporary variance is required.
On October 23, 2006 the HMPC Board of Directors adopted the following as the "minimum" standard for connecting to any Marina electrical receptacles. These cords should be readily available at most commercial electrical outlets or marine stores:
1. It shall be a SJOW extra hard usage type, and;
2. It shall be a minimum of 14AWG, rated for outdoor use - CSA approved
