About This Property

The main floor features a full kitchen, open dining area, and a spacious living room with wrap-around windows framing harbour views.

A loft-level storage space along with the new second-floor bedroom retreat with its own private balcony. Professionally built and meticulously maintained on a steel frame with new Envirofloat flotation (2025). The 2025 addition added a full second storey.

Pets are welcome at Fisherman's Wharf — bring the dog and the cat. The community sits in the heart of James Bay, steps from the waterfront walking and cycling paths along Dallas Road, Beacon Hill Park, the Inner Harbour, and some of Victoria's best cafés and restaurants. Water taxis connect you to the rest of the harbour in minutes. Fully furnished. Monthly: Moorage $715 | Float Services $132.60 | Water $18.26 | Propane $123.14 (~$989 total).
