Keeping Mayne Island Moving: The Lifeline at Active Pass Auto & Marine

ISLAND ESSENTIALS & EVERYDAY LIFE

If you live on Mayne Island or spend any amount of time exploring the Gulf Islands, you quickly learn a golden rule: island life runs on local reliability. When you are miles from the mainland and need to fuel up the car, pick up some fresh water, swap out your propane tank, or grab essential marine and auto supplies, there is one destination that islanders depend on above all others.

Located right in the heart of the community at 424 Fernhill Road, Active Pass Auto & Marine is far more than just a convenience store or a pit stop. Owned and operated by the dynamic duo Brooke and Roxanne, it is a true cornerstone of island infrastructure, serving as our local gas station, propane refill hub, water source, and supply shop, all while housing our community post office.

MORE THAN JUST A PIT STOP

Navigating island life means being prepared for anything. Whether you are stocking up for a weekend project, heading out for a day of fishing on the water, or simply stopping by to collect your mail and say hello to Brooke and Roxanne, Active Pass Auto & Marine is where the community crosses paths.

Having these everyday essentials right here on Mayne Island saves residents countless trips across the water. Instead of planning a major mainland run just to grab supplies or fuel, you can pull right up to Fernhill Road and find what you need from friendly faces who know you by name.
