Port McNeill, Vancouver Island North’s second-largest community, is known by the cruising yachtsmen as the gateway to The Broughtons. This stop has everything you need to prepare for an adventure to The Broughtons. A regional airport plus a float plane service from Vancouver and Seattle as well as being serviced by BC Ferries, (to Alert Bay and Sointula Harbour) makes this an ideal rendezvous centre. A great place to take in a whale watching tour if time allows
