LUND HARBOUR AUTHORITY

What LUND HARBOUR AUTHORITY does

Lund Harbour Authority operates a single-location, year-round Small Craft Harbour in the village of Lund, BC, on the Sunshine Coast north of Vancouver, positioned as the Gateway to Desolation Sound and the Discovery Islands. The facility serves two customer groups on a strictly first-come, first-served basis with no reservations accepted: recreational boaters (pleasure craft and cruising vessels up to 65 feet LOA) and commercial fishing vessels operating in the surrounding waters, with rafting required at all times. Core services are moorage on tiered daily, monthly, and seasonal rate schedules, complemented by electricity hookups (20/30/50 amp), sewer pump-out, showers, boat launch access (single-use or annual pass), free WiFi, and per-hour environmental response services.

The underlying operation is intentionally low-tech: berth assignment is handled via VHF Channel 73 radio by on-site staff, utility consumption is metered manually, and the public information interface is a WordPress site publishing rates, policies, and customer comments. The harbour enforces a "Dead Slow" wake zone and a designated "No Anchor Zone" between Sevilla Island and One Tree Island for environmental protection, with floating breakwaters that do not attenuate wake. The website was established in 2013 and a new email domain (lundbc.com) was adopted in January 2024, suggesting closer alignment with the broader Lund, BC municipal identity.

Revenue is generated entirely at the harbour on a transactional basis: per-foot moorage (recreational $1.30-$1.50/ft daily, $5.25/ft monthly, $4.75/ft seasonal; commercial $0.23/ft daily, $1.80/ft monthly, $1.55/ft seasonal), electricity surcharges, pump-out ($10.50), showers ($2.00 for 5 minutes), boat launch ($4 single-use or $57.75-$262.50 annual), and environmental response ($73.50 per staff per hour plus expenses), with 5% GST applied across the schedule. Catamarans pay double the standard rate, vessels over 65 feet are not accepted, and the authority operates as a public/municipal-tier entity with no disclosed parent organization, no private capital, and no publicly reported financials.
