The map also holds 13 marinas with no name, which is why they are not listed: naming them on OpenStreetMap is the most useful thing a sailor could do for this page. Names are as the map spells them. Source: OpenStreetMap's marinas and named harbours on the island of Newfoundland; drives measured by road on OpenStreetMap from each airport and ferry terminal; distances between harbours in a straight line; read November 10, 2026.
Few, and the map says so. The open map holds named marinas on the northeast coast and the Avalon, one on the south coast and one on the west, at Corner Brook. Where a harbour has a page of its own, the list says what it offers a visiting boat and who to call.
This page draws no passage and states no depth. Each harbour gets the drive from every airport and ferry and the straight-line distance to its neighbours. The chart, forecast and notices are linked below.
Name a marina on the map and the page fills itself.

Before you go
ChartsBefore any passage
The Canadian Hydrographic Service publishes the charts. This page is not a chart. The straight-line distances between harbours are the shortest any passage could be and say nothing about the water between.
charts.gc.ca →Marine forecastEvery day on the water
Environment Canada's marine forecast for the Newfoundland waters is the authority on wind and sea state. Read the area forecast, not the town forecast.
weather.gc.ca →Notices to MarinersMonthly, and as issued
The Canadian Coast Guard's Notices to Mariners carry the chart corrections and current hazards.
notmar.gc.ca →Harbour authoritiesWhere the wharf has one
Most working harbours here are federal Small Craft Harbours run by a local harbour authority. They decide who may tie up, so ask them before a visiting boat does.
dfo-mpo.gc.ca →MooseYear round, worst between dusk and dawn
A harbour visit ends with a drive. The province says the chance of injury in a moose collision is about twice as high between dusk and dawn as in daytime.

Questions
Can this site give me a sailing route?＋
No. A passage is chosen against the chart, the tide, the forecast and the boat, and no open data lets a website draw one. This page gives the harbours and the straight-line distances between them, the shortest any passage could be.
Can I contribute a passage I have sailed?＋
Not yet; it is planned. It would work like the walked and ridden tracks: the original GPX from the boat, checked against its timestamps and a boat's speeds, every point over water, both ends at a harbour the map holds, trimmed to the harbour mouths. The page would show it as one boat's recorded line on one day, not a route. Send one anyway and it waits for the verifier.
Where do I get fuel and a berth?＋
From the harbour itself. Where a harbour has a page of its own, the list below gives what it says, in its words, and its number: the Royal Newfoundland Yacht Club at Long Pond sells gas and diesel on weekdays, booked ahead, and Lewisporte's berths are booked with its marina authority. Most working harbours are federal Small Craft Harbours run by a local harbour authority, who decide who may tie up.
Why is the west coast so thin?＋
Because the open map names one marina there, Allen's Cove in Corner Brook. Several unnamed marinas, counted below the list, sit on the west and south coasts; a shape with no name cannot be listed. Naming them fixes this page.
