Book Dreamspeaker Cruising Guide The Broughtons Volume 5

The Broughtons region lies along the eastern fringe of Queen Charlotte Strait, between the coastal mainland and northeast Vancouver Island. On the northeast shore of Vancouver Island, Port McNeill serves as the cruising boater’s gateway to the Broughtons. Acclaimed for its dramatic mountain backdrops, wild beauty, and First Nations history, the Broughton Archipelago and surrounding islands offer sheltered anchorages linked by family marine resorts that provide moorage and opportunities to socialize with other boaters. Some resorts also offer fuel, provisions, and hiking trails.

This guide covers the waters of Mayne Passage and Blind Channel on the northern east coast of Vancouver Island. It provides information on the best sailing routes and helpful advice for planning, including fuel/water stops, markets for replenishing provisions (often with fresh produce), local events, and cruising services.
