Book Your Next Rendezvous — Group Moorage & Waterfront Events in Ladysmith, BC

Mañana was made for gathering. Our Rendezvous program is designed for boating groups who want more than a slip — a full waterfront experience, thoughtfully arranged so your group can move at its own rhythm from arrival to farewell.

Our team has crafted flexible itinerary outlines to help your group make the most of their time on the water and ashore: a garden dinner beneath the lights, a lively evening on the social dock, a morning exploring Ladysmith’s shoreline by kayak. The details are handled — all you need to bring is your crew.
