Customs

Vessels coming to Canada from foreign waters must clear Customs. The Canada Customs float in Victoria is located between the Wharf Street facility and the float plane terminals, at the foot of a 3-storey pink brick building. You must clear Customs PRIOR to arranging a birth for you vessel. A 24-hour direct phone live is available on the Customs float. Once you have cleared Customs, you may hail the GVHA on VHF 66A to request moorage.

The Canada Customs office is located at 816 Government Street on the corner of Government Street and Wharf Street. Canada Customs can be reached by phone at 1-800-461-9999. 

Please note: the Customs dock can accommodate vessels up to 70'/21m in length. If your vessel is over 70'/21m, contact Customs and the GVHA to make alternate arrangements.
