Cliff Richardson Boats Ltd. is a full service Marina located at Meaford, Ontario, on Georgian Bay. Their staff has the training and experience to make sure you have a pleasant and trouble-free season on the bay, and confidence that your boat is carefully prepared and stored during the off season, and ready to go again in the spring.
In 1933, Cliff Richardson founded Richardson Boats. During the winter months, boats were built in Meaford, and the spring, summer and fall were spent at the family marina in Point Au Baril, Ontario.
In 1939, Richardson Boats began full time operation in Meaford building pleasure and commercial watercraft.
In 1941, helping with the war effort, Richardson Boats started building whalers and diesel cutters for the Department Of Defense.
Post war – Pleasure and commercial water crafts constructed of wood, steel and aluminum became the mainstay until the early 1980′s.
Present day – Cliff Richardson Boats Ltd. now offers a full service Marina facility including fuel, repairs, pump-outs, and winter storage.
Meaford Harbour
Few Ontario harbours are as beautiful as the one you will find in Meaford. This harbour has a cobblestone path, a wheelchair accessible ramp to the lookout, a marine museum, a long breakwall perfect for walks, a pavilion for picnics, eating establishments, fishing charters, and of course a full service marina. Near the Dockmaster’s office you will find washrooms, showers and a lounge/ meeting room for boaters. Cliff Richardson’s Boat Works, also located at the harbour, boasts 70 years of boat building, storage, service and repair. While at the harbour, a visit to the Canadian Coast Guard Cutter Spume is a must.
