GPS Coordinates: Latitude: 43.63687 Longitude: -79.392038

While guests are aboard, the Boat B & B stays docked in Toronto’s harbour, providing easy access to all that the city has to offer. Nestled in the heart of Marina Quay West along with the award winning Toronto Music Garden, the Boatel is conveniently docked at the foot of Spadina street with easy access to the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) buses and streetcars. Parking is available at the covered marina parking lot. We will send you instructions once you reserve a parking spot. Bicycle access is steps from the Boatel and watertaxi service is available to go to the famous Toronto Islands.
