Port Sandfield Marina has long been hailed as a boating destination for Muskoka mariners, with a convenient gas dock, boat sales, Lake Livin’ boutique, and the Boat House store filled with boating accessories and lifestyle finds. The marina continues to grow and expand its offerings to boaters, making it more than a tourism hub.
“With a heritage spanning over 70 years, Port Sandfield Marina has been a vital part of Muskoka’s boating culture, known for its exceptional service and top-notch facilities,” says Derek Lubert, President of Maple Leaf Marinas, noting that the historic marina joined the Maple Leaf Marinas (MLM) family in 2024.
“This exciting new chapter for the marina builds on its strong foundation, with longtime owners Jonathan and Nada Blair continuing to lead the way.”
Located between Lakes Rosseau and Joseph, Port Sandfield Marina has long been a go-to for summer essentials. It’s also been a trusted destination for Regal Boats—offering a lineup known for comfort, performance, and style. In addition, as part of the Maple Leaf Marinas family, the marina has expanded its offering to include MasterCraft boats, further enhancing its premium selection.
“We’re proud to grow the portfolio at Port Sandfield with two of the industry’s leading brands,” says Steve Tait, VP of Sales for Maple Leaf Marinas.
Maple Leaf Marinas carries 23 boat brands, he adds, and can help clients source other brands to find the perfect boat.
Certified expertsAs the certified dealer of Regal and MasterCraft boats for the region, Port Sandfield Marina is now able to offer customers a broader selection of premium cruisers and tow boats, so they can buy the brands they love where they boat throughout the summer.
“There’s a reason boating experts typically advise you to buy where you boat, as the sales team has in-depth knowledge and boating experience on your specific waterways. We can put you into a boat that matches the waterways you use and accommodates your lifestyle,” says Steve.
There’s more to becoming a certified dealer and technician than receiving a seal of approval from a well-known boat brand, notes Jonathan Blair, General Manager. As certified dealers, the marina’s team has been flown to each brand’s head office to complete specialized training programs.
“Having exclusive selling rights to Regal and MasterCraft doesn’t just give us access to top-tier boats—it gives us the insight and training to better understand each model, so we can help owners take the best possible care of their investment.”
Regal rides“What we love about Regal Boats is their commitment to building world-class, innovative, and luxurious boats that make it easy for families to forge connections with each other through boating,” Jonathan adds.
The brand offers a trifecta of features ideal for Muskoka boaters: refined performance, luxurious comfort, and thoughtful design innovations.
Cruisers like these are ideal for enjoying Muskoka’s lakes, he notes. In fact, Regal has won multiple awards, including the International Marine Trades Exhibit & Conference Innovation Award for its FasTrac Hull design, a stunning 51 National Marine Manufacturers Association Awards for Excellence in Customer Satisfaction, and six J.D. Power and Associates Awards recognizing it as a standard-bearer in customer service.
“Regal stands as the only builder with a patented hull design, which features reverse chines and large lifting strakes that grip the water for greater handling and stability.”
The FasTrac Hull allows up to 26 percent faster speeds and 30 percent greater fuel economy than competitors.
Regal LX2There’s a Regal model for every lake lifestyle. If you want a classic outboard-powered bowrider that can deliver faster speeds without sacrificing fuel efficiency, Regal LX2 is perfect. It packs a signature look, spacious storage, and meticulous craftsmanship into its 22’ 7” package. With multi-position seating and low-to-the-water swim platform, you and your guests can spend more time on the water, cruising, swimming and enjoying each other’s company.
Regal LS4For the boater who loves a luxurious ride, Jonathan says the LS4 is ideal. “With innovation integrated into every element of its design, the Regal LS4 is as smart as it is stunning.” The 24-foot bowrider offers elevated performance and ultimate versatility without compromising space or comfort.
Regal LS6For those who love a balance of leisure and adventure, Regal LS6 is the ultimate cruiser.
“At 26’ 4”, it’s the longest of the three cruisers, but it’s the model’s balance of style, comfort and versatility that really set it apart.”
Despite its size, the LS6’s innovative bow thrusters make operation effortless. These small bow propellers allow you to move laterally for easy docking and stress-free navigation – even in the tightest of waterways.
Its ample lounge area makes it easy for guests to kick back and relax, or clean up after a long day on the water. With a comfortable, private head (or bathroom), your guests can feel refreshed, even after a longer ride.
And for easy swim access, this model’s Underwater PowerPlatform lowers at the touch of the button. The Regal LS6 makes it easy for everyone on board to enjoy the thoughtful, innovative features that take your day to the next level.
More than fuelWhether you’re cruising the lakes or taking your guests into Port Sandfield for a shopping excursion, stop in, see the inventory and even book a test drive.
“Tie up at the slips,” says Jonathan, “and come explore.”
