Pierre’s at Echo Bay Under New Management

Pierre and Tove Landry have purchased full ownership of the Echo Bay facility in the Broughton Archipelago. Known as Pierre’s at Echo Bay, this marine resort was previously jointly owned with Lucy and Jerome Rose, who have sold their interest to the Landry’s.

Pierre’s at Echo Bay exhibited at both the Seattle and Vancouver boat shows in partnership with Port McNeil Fuel Dock and Marina – close by the CYW booth. Pierre is excited about future opportunities and looking forward to welcoming returning and new visitors to their fully modernized facility.

Pierre’s operated for a number of successful years in a nearby bay and purchased the Echo Bay property in 2008 from previous owners Bob and Nancy Richter. Famous for their pig roast Saturday nights and events such as a pirate-themed cooperative dinner, Pierre’s is a welcome stop for cruisers in the Broughtons or those on their way further north.

Echo Bay is a full-service marina with fuel, a store and Pierre’s famous banquet and party tent. Over 1,200 feet of new dock space with power on the dock and water close by is available for overnight and transient moorage. Regular float plane service is provided by Pacific Coastal Air from Port McNeil.

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
