A Message From the Manager

What we are all about

The Chief Commanda has been located in the heart of North Bays Marina for more than twenty years. In that time it has operated as a bar restaurant and or tourist attraction under different management following being decommissioned and relocated from Callander Bay.
In 2013 the opportunity presented itself for our team-family to take over the property along with the tired vessel.

We did just that! In 2013 two local brothers along with their experienced food and beverage team took on the challenge to revive the old girl. We kept it simple. Even in name, The Boat North Bay. A family owned local business. Priding itself on being food focused, community sensitive, tourist friendly, with a commitment to provide the best in service, products and experiences.
We are proud of where we come from and where we have gone in our short five seasons. We are conscious of our rich history and strive yearly to ensure our guests have a wonderful visit with us time and time again.

Best place to be in the summer! I have spent the last three summers enjoying the beautiful view, call me bias, but as a customer the service, the food and the drinks are fantastic. I love this place and always will!

Great Venue for many things, from eating to drinking to clubbing. Awesome Staff. Regular spot after coming off the Lake or chilling in the Marina on my own boat.
