Chartering your vessel while slipholding here

Haven Harbour Marina Resorts stands out in many ways – from our valued customers and dedicated team members to our picturesque locations. Adding to this distinction are our reputable on-site partners, including Haven Charters. Through their charter management program, our slipholders have the unique opportunity to lease their vessels, allowing them to maximize their investment while sharing the joy of boating with others.

"Whether you set foot on your boat once or a dozen times a season, the fixed costs remain," Dave Fife said, co-owner of Haven Charters with wife Jackie Appleton.

One of the key benefits of the Haven Charters charter management program is the ability to offset the costs of vessel ownership, including seasonal slip rental fees. Additionally, it helps alleviate logistical challenges that may be currently limiting your ability to enjoy your boat as often as you would like. Haven Charters also provides vessel security through the on-site partnership, preforming daily battery and bilge checks along with dock line adjustments and fender placement in extreme tides and wind conditions.

When looking for a vessel to charter, Dave breaks down what their clients enjoy most: "Our customers typically look for well appointed, clean and properly maintained boats. After completing over 6,000 charters we have noted that the common requirements are air conditioning, 12-volt fridge and freezer, GPS and chartplotter, cockpit cushions, as well as a bimini or dodger. A generator is nice, but not necessary."

Haven Charters has been operating from the Haven Harbour Marina property since 1988, with owners Jacki and Dave at the helm of the operation since 2003. Their fleet currently consists of 26 well-equipped sailing vessels ranging from 35 to 51 feet.
