McNeill Fuel Dock Now North Island Marina

North Island Marina

Port McNeill Fuel Dock has a new name – North Island Marina – that reflects its growth from a fuel stop into a full-
service marina and a major port of call for cruisers in the Broughton Islands and Queen Charlotte Strait or en route to BC’s north coast.

“We are now much more than just a fuel dock. We offer 2,100 feet of transient moorage for boats from 28’ to 285’, in-berth refueling and full concierge services for our yacht customers,” says general manager Steve Jackman. “We found many of our customers want more than just moorage. We can help with provisioning, dinner reservations in Port McNeill, or side trips to local attractions including helicopter tours, fishing charters, whale-watching or golf.”

North Island Marina has float plane service from the dock to and from Vancouver and Seattle, or airline service from Port Hardy Airport, just a few miles away by courtesy shuttle van. This gives cruisers the option of leaving their boats at the marina for a week or more while commuting quickly to and from major population centres.

The marina can assist with repairs and arrange for a mechanic for major work; parts can also be air-shipped easily to the docks. And boating groups can use the hospitality tent on the dock, a convenient spot for impromptu happy hours.
For moorage or details, phone 855-767-8622 or email info@portmcneill.com.

Pontoon boats began in the early 1950s as basically four steel drums lashed to a frame. They were not unlike the log rafts of ancient cultures and not much more sophisticated at first.

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?).
