Get ready for a great...
Harbour Tours by Appointment
Our popular Harbour Tours will be back in action this summer. Spend time sailing the ocean with friends and family, taking in the sights and sounds of sea life in the water, the sky, and on land. It's an unforgettable experience for adults and children alike.
Picnic and Wooden Rowboats on the Beach
Join us for an old-style picnic at the Transfer Beach. Our fully restored row boats will be available for good times on the water! Bring your family, friends, a picnic blanket, some munchies (or grab a Food Truck lunch) and enjoy a great day on the beach eating, swimming, and rowing!
Date and time coming soon.
Preserving Maritime Heritage
The Ladysmith Maritime Society is a non-profit charitable organization that has been in continuous operation since 1985. Despite the ups and downs during its long tenure in the community, the future looks bright for our organization dedicated to preserving our rich maritime heritage.
In 1985, a small group of sea-loving citizens came together with the dream of building a Tall Ship for the 1986 Expo. The group then turned their efforts to restoring heritage vessels, operating the successful Ladysmith Community Marina, and hosting popular maritime-themed events. This year, we look forward to honoring the past volunteers and members who started the society and made it what it is today.
Despite drastically changed circumstances, our mission remains the same. We are still very much dedicated to providing access to the ocean, sea-life education, and maritime history for the community and the thousands of visitors we welcome every year.
The Society offers:
- Harbour tours during the summer season
- An annual Sea Life Celebration that attracts more than 1000 visitors
- Family-friendly spring and summer events at no cost to the public
- Events throughout the year as Ladysmith Maritime Society partners with local marinas
- A Sea Life Centre at Telegraph Harbour Marina on Thetis Island, providing marine life education
