By Boat:
Once you have entered False Creek via English

the Granville Island area is situated right underneath the bridge. Make your way around
the north side of the Island to public moorage in front of the Public Market and the Arts
Centre. Our office is located directly south, across the big parking lot and in a blue
building next to the marina; within 2 min. walking distance.
To the Office & Parking:
Our office is located on Duranleau Street at
the west end of Granville Island;as you enter the island area, make the loop around toward
the market. We are in a blue building, beside the marina & red barn -- just south of
the big yellow Bridge’s Restaurant. You will need to locate one of the four covered
parking garages to purchase parking (recommend 6 to 7 hrs.); the cost is $1.50 per hour
(credit card or coins accepted). Outside parking is free but limited to a 3 hr. maximum so
this will not provide sufficient time for most charters.
The
GRANVILLE ISLAND area is under the Granville Street Bridge (South End), just five
minutes from downtown Vancouver.
