Intrepid sailing, rugged landscapes
Established among the world’s finest cruising grounds, the Pacific Northwest is like no other sailing destination on Earth. Thousands of islands large and small, inlets leading into broad, lazy rivers, countless miles of spectacular coastline and enough space to give the impression of open-ocean sailing means Pacific Northwest cruising is a truly unique experience. Changeable weather, warm thermal winds and dramatic scenery present a rewarding challenge for more experienced sailors.
The arresting natural landscapes of Canada’s British Columbia offer brooding, snow-capped mountain ranges, remote fjords, forested shorelines and majestic waterfalls guaranteed to take your breath away. Visit this wildlife haven to follow in the wake of migratory whales and watch hunting orcas, snorkel alongside playful sea otters and pass beneath soaring eagles. Arrive at the right time and you could even witness thousands of wild salmon returning to their ancestral homes to spawn.
