“I grew up here - the Tischer family and their marina, cabins and Whitney bay in general is the most beautiful place you can find.”

“The owners are wonderful, friendly, helpful people. Cabin #2 seemed more like a spacious two bedroom one bathroom home than a cabin. It was very clean and well kept. Would definitely recommend for anyone coming to the island.”

“We chartered a boat out of this area ( Always an Adventure Charters) and had such a great time. The boat caption and his 1st mate were amazing, to say the least. They treated my kids like family, and we caught our limit of fish in just a few hours. When we are in this area, I will always call on these fine folks to take care of my family”

“Great group of people and very knowledgeable. We needed a 5 pin trailer adapter and extension and owner pulled one out for us that wasn't even on the shelves for sale. Super helpful! Definitely recommend! Thank you!”

“Just bought a 150hp Yamaha outboard. Service was above satisfaction. Blane and his boys went over and beyond installing the new motor. Could not be more pleased. Highly recommended.”

“Today I purchased a new 90 hp Yamaha four stroke motor from Fort Drummond Marine. What a great family business to deal with. I had a 4.5 hour drive to get to Drummond Island to pick up my new motor. As soon as I got there Blaine Jr was already on the fork lift ready to load my motor onto my trailer. His son and father helped us tie it down and Blaine had the paperwork already done. We really appreciated the quick transaction since it was a long drive back home. Rarely do you find a marine business this nice to deal with. I hope for them and their customers sake they have many more successful years in business..”
