About Sullivan Bay Seaplane Base
Sullivan Bay Seaplane Base (YTG) is a small public water aerodrome serving Sullivan Bay, a remote floating community on North Broughton Island in British Columbia's Broughton Archipelago. It supports floatplane and charter traffic for local residents, boaters and visitors travelling along this part of the BC coast.
The seaplane base is located adjacent to Sullivan Bay and operates from a waterside floatplane dock rather than a conventional terminal complex. Because there is no road access to the community, the water aerodrome is one of the main ways to reach the area alongside private boats and water taxis.
Sullivan Bay lies about 37 km from Port McNeill and roughly 450 km north of Vancouver, although actual travel depends on weather, tides and aircraft or vessel schedules. Connections are typically made by floatplane, water taxi or private boat to Port McNeill, Port Hardy and other coastal communities.
As a small water aerodrome, the site has limited dock and community services rather than full passenger terminal facilities. Travellers should confirm schedules and arrangements with their floatplane or charter operator before departure.
Terminal Overview
Terminals
