Fourteen people are safe after a harrowing incident off Gabriola Island just east of Nanaimo.

An eight-metre boat began taking on water near Pilot Bay yesterday.

A BC Ferry running between Nanaimo and Horseshoe Bay was one of the many vessels that responded to the call.

All 14 people were rescued while their crippled boat was towed to Nanaimo for repairs.

BC Ferries on Twitter:

#ServiceNotice UPDATE #Tsawwassen - #DukePoint #QueenOfAlberni is currently delayed 30 minutes due to assisting in a marine rescue for a vessel in distress.
