The Business and Infrastructure plan, completed by CBCL in January 2018, highlights the Port of Digby's substantial economic impact and strategic importance to the regional economy. Managed by the Digby Harbour Port Association (DHPA), the Port of Digby Fishermen’s Wharf, situated in the Annapolis Basin, serves as vital berthage and loading/unloading facilities for the largest fishing fleet on the Bay of Fundy.

At the Port of Digby, we proudly accommodate cruise ships and yacht visits with a dedicated Marine Facility Security Officer ensuring vessel security and Transport Canada compliance. Over the years, we've welcomed notable vessels like the MV Balmoral and MV Quest for Adventure, facilitating passenger landings in our community. Smaller "pocket" cruise vessels, including those from Blount Small Ship Adventures and the MV Hebridean Sky, dock alongside to explore the charming Town of Digby.
