Maple Leaf Marinas proudly announces the re-branding of Spirit Bay Harbour in Bracebridge, to Gordon Bay on Lake Muskoka, effective immediately. This strategic decision marks a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to delivering an unparalleled boating excellence and expanding the services offered to its valued customers. 

With over 60 years of iconic history, the Gordon Bay Marine brand in Muskoka has been synonymous with exceptional quality and service. By extending this esteemed legacy to the now-former Spirit Bay Harbour, Maple Leaf Marinas reaffirms its dedication to providing a first-class marina experience.

 Gordon Bay on Lake Muskoka now features a full-service boat dealership showcasing premium brands such as Malibu/Axis, Bayliner, Harris Pontoons, and the latest addition to the Muskoka Lakes, Key West Boats. This makes Gordon Bay on Lake Muskoka the exclusive Key West Boats dealership for the Muskoka Lakes region. In addition to the boat dealership, a newly constructed, state-of-the-art service maintenance building has been added, allowing for faster, more efficient repairs and maintenance to ensure minimal downtime for boat owners. 

This expansion and name change represents a significant investment by Maple Leaf Marinas, aimed at elevating the marina’s offerings on its sprawling 20+ acre property with over 350 slips (wet and valet dry slips). These enhancements are designed to deliver a superior boating experience to our customers.

Patrons can indulge in delicious fare or beverages on the licensed patio or grab a quick bite from the food truck, promising an unforgettable dining experience by the water. 

According to Dave Rozycki, President of Maple Leaf Marinas, “celebrating the evolution of Spirit Bay Harbour to become Gordon Bay on Lake Muskoka is a testament to our dedication to providing the Ultimate Boating Lifestyle to the region. We are proud to unveil the significant investment we have made to enhance this first-class marina facility. This aligns with the vision we had to unlock its full potential for our customers and Muskoka boaters alike.”
