Sunshine Coast

Cruisers often devote entire vacations exploring the beaches, quaint villages, soaring fjords, and numerous anchorages of this magical, diverse area. 

Howe Sound

 

 

Near Vancouver Island, this region features its own weather report, stunning views of Coastal Mountains, and unlimited areas to explore.

Lasqueti Island & Around

 

 

A frequent stop for cruisers transiting between the Gulf Islands and the Sunshine Coast, a careful eye on the weather will make this worthwhile stop.

Pender Harbour

 

 

The “Venice” of B.C., Pender offers the only all-weather protection, provisioning, hiking, and many pleasant anchorages for all seasons.

Jervis Inlet & Princess Louisa Marine Park

 

 

The fjords of Jervis Inlet is an awesome experience leading cruisers to one of the most beautiful places in the Salish Sea.
