Situated on the northeast coast of Vancouver Island, and adjacent to the Broughton Archipelago in Port McNeill, @northislandmarina caters to yachts up to 285โ. The marina also reflects the convenience of the community as a must-stop for mariners with its in-berth fueling system for its guests. No more pulling into a marina and jockeying for position on the fuel dock before settling after a long day cruising. Just pull into berth with the helpful staff to catch your lines, schedule your fueling for the next day and head right into happy hour. The marina also has its own chandlery and laundromat located right at the head of the dock. Designed with service in mind, North Island Marina and Port McNeill are one of the most convenient stops along the inside passage and โthe Gateway to the Broughton Archipelago.โ

๐ชข Sunday Boat Tip [1/52] ๐ชข Did you know that you can use common cooking oil to keep your boat toiletโs flushing system smooth and easy flushing? Itโs really simple, you just take a tablespoon of the oil you have at hand and pour in into the toilet. Then, in empty mode, you pump a few pumps and then itโs done. Do this 1-2 times every week and youโll soon see a difference! The oil will keep all the internal rubber parts soft and prolong their life span, meaning less shitty maintenance for you ๐ฉ We usually do this in the evening so it can sit for the night ๐ด Extra tip: If you have canned food thatโs preserved in oil (like sun dried tomatoes or mushrooms) itโs perfect to use the oil thatโs left in the can before throwing it out. Be sure to save this post to remember it the next time you see your boat toilet ๐ฝ
