Sculpted fjords, quiet anchorages, and a symphony of sea and forest
Book Now8 Days | 7 Nights | 235 NM
This eight-day yachting itinerary along the Pacific coast of British Columbia offers a slow travel immersion into wild marine landscapes, ancient forests and serene anchorages. From the bustle of Vancouver Island to the secluded calm of Desolation Sound, you’ll explore coral-framed bays, kayak under cathedral-like cliffs, witness orcas and bald eagles, hike moss-draped trails and dine under stars in remote coves. A journey designed for connection with sea, sky and soul.
Gateway to Pacific Calm
Board in Comox, settle aboard and depart for Savary Island. Anchor beside its white sandy shores, swim in clear Pacific waters, enjoy paddle-boarding or stand-up paddleboard at sunset. Evening aboard with fresh seafood and soft orange twilight.
Fjords & Falls under the Emerald Canopy
Cruise north into Desolation Sound: past Teakerne Arm and Squirrel Cove. Anchor near waterfalls, climb to lake lookout points, swim in alpine lakes, explore narrow inlets by tender. Dinner aboard under a sky bursting with stars.
Hidden Bays & Whispered Waters
Weigh anchor and head to Prideaux Haven. Spend time in Laura Cove or Melanie Cove anchorage. Calm bays, driftwood beaches, kayak around mushroom-shaped rock formations, discover serenity. The evening hush is broken only by distant loons or water lapping on the hull.
Deep Fjords & Secret Lakes
Navigate the channels to reach Walbran or one of the pictograph-adorned inlets. Hike local trails, view ancient rock art, enjoy forests immersed in moss, perhaps catch the sunset on a remote shore far from light pollution. Overnight anchorage in a protected cove.
Outer Islands & Big Water Vista
Venture outward toward the Redonda Islands, entering Homfray Channel. Look for marine mammals, explore deep fjords, anchor in quiet bays. Evening brings dramatic skies and forest silhouettes.
Return Through Echoes of Water & Wood
Begin the homeward leg. Revisit Teakerne Arm for one last swim or waterfall hike. Drop into Refuge Cove to restock, enjoy a favourite meal ashore, share stories of whales and ria soundscapes. Overnight in Ref uge or nearby anchorage.
Gentle Shores & Golden Evenings
Sail to Henry Bay, a peaceful anchorage with sandy beaches, calm waters, ideal for afternoons of reading, light walks or paddle craft. Celebrate the final night aboard with a gourmet dinner under a quiet canopy.
Farewell with Morning Light
Depart early for Comox, enjoying morning light over the Gulf Islands. Arrive in the harbour by midday or early afternoon. Disembark, walk in town, perhaps a local market or a spa to close the voyage.
