desolation sound yacht charters

• Desolation Sound Pacific Playground

Cut by powerful glaciers eons ago, the sharp granite peaks of the Coast Mountains rise into the clouds. Jump aboard to explore mountainous, forest-covered islands and majestic fjords of stunning Desolation Sound; your very own Pacific Playground. This expedition is terrific for multi-generational families and friends to have fun and chill out together.

Creating Memories

This secluded environment is ripe with wild beauty. We’ll anchor in deserted coves, perfect for small craft exploration, and peer inside pools teeming with aquatic life. Swim in secret lagoons and discover marine parks alive in vibrant colours.

Dive in or slide down our 40” inflatable slide into the warmest Pacific waters North of Mexico. Swim over to bounce on our inflatable trampolines or take our water skis and wakeboards for a ride. Kayak or paddle to hidden coves and get up close with intertidal life.

Keep your eyes peeled for local sea creatures and land mammals: bears, wolves, eagles, orca whales, humpback whales, Dall’s porpoises, Steller sea lions and Pacific white-sided dolphins.

Our 3 tenders take you ashore to explore on foot or go farther into the forests on our mountain bikes or off-road scooters. We’ll create a custom trip for you based on your interests. Maybe you want to visit historical settlements, a remote “hippy” town, or an oyster farm. Or take a dip in a mountain lake. We’ll share our favourite local hangouts and secret fishing spots with you.

LEWIS CHANNEL

Refuge Cove  is a unique coastal co-op with a small store, liquor outlet and some mouth-watering homemade cinnamon buns.

Grace Harbour 

is a long and narrow sheltered bay located on Gifford Peninsula in Malaspina Inlet. The inner part of Grace Harbour is completely protected from all winds and seas whish is perfect for anchoring your charter boat. There are a series of hiking trails at the end of the bay. Follow the trail at the northern end of the harbour to a small, peaceful, freshwater lake created by beavers. Galley Bay and Isabel Bay provide anchorage for cruising boats. Isabel Bay 

is situated in Lancelot Inlet and only limited anchorage for a few charter boats can be found here. A small cove at the lower end of the bay, along with two tiny nooks for one or two boats can be found behind Madge Island at its northern end. Clams and oysters abound. It may be necessary to tie a stern line to shore.

Wootton Bay has several temporary anchorages with most of them being near the head of the bay.  These spots provide good protection from the night time westerly winds but are somewhat exposed to any wind from the south or southeast.  Theodosia Inlet is almost like a lagoon as the shallow entrance channel inhibits the entrance of salt water but also permits freshwater outflow from the Theodosia River.  The current runs quite quickly through the narrow twisting channel which opens up inside Theodosia Inlet.  The Inlet at the entrance of Theodosia is often used as a picnic area and there are flat areas suitable for camping.  A shallow bay on the East side of the inlet can be used for beaching a canoe or kayak. Other good anchorage spots can also be found throughout Theodosia Inlet. Outside the Inlet, anchorage is possible near Grail Point behind Susan Inlet. An old orchard is a landmark. Mink Island

 is private property, however it provides one of the most popular anchorages in Desolation Sound.  The outer anchorage is fairly deep, but a shallower more protected anchorage is possible behind a small islet near the head of the cove.  Depths are 10-20 feet. Galley Bay 

offers good anchorage in the western most nook, or behind the island in the eastern part of the bay. Caution must be exercised in the central part of the bay, because there are two dangerously drying rocks. The one near the centre dries three feet and the one farther in dries 12 feet. It's also exposed to north easterly winds. A stern line to shore is recommended. Tenedos Bay 

is known as the "Deep Bay" and caution must be exercised in setting anchor here as depths can reach over 300 feet in the central bay.  There are however many small coves and crannies shallow enough for small charter yachts to find anchorage.  The largest, most protected anchorage area is in the extreme northern end of the bay.  Despite its partial exposure to westerly winds, the eastern most cove in Tenedos Bay is usually the busiest. Here you can anchor and walk a trail which leads up to Unwin Lake.  The lake is only five minutes by trail from the sea and halfway along the trail it is possible to cut through the woods to a stream where gentle rapids and deep pools provide an ideal secluded place to swim.  When a westerly wind arises, it whistles through this area.  Unmarked rocks extend from this island in several places. Ha'thayim (Von Dunop)

Marine Provincial Park in the Discovery Islands, with its long, narrow sheltered inlet, is a popular anchorage for charter yachts.  Located on the northwestern tip of Cortes Island, the inlet can be entered from northern Sutil Channel. Otter Island is only large enough for a few boats and is an almost totally secluded anchorage for charter boats.  The passage separating Otter Island from the mainland, although extremely narrow, is deep enough for most small craft to safely navigate.  Sky Pilot Rock, one of the most dangerous hazards in the area, is located north of Otter Island.  It waits menacingly out in mid-channel, unmarked, and only a few feet under water at high tide.  Favour the Otter Island Shore. Prideaux Haven 

is known as one of the most scenically outstanding anchorages anywhere. This well protected harbour has enough arms and interconnecting coves and passageways to safely accommodate hundreds of charter boats. Entrance to Prideaux Haven is from Homfray Channel to the east of Eveleigh Island. Caution should be exercised when entering the area and the reef in the center of the channel should be kept to the port. From July to August, Prideaux Haven has the reputation of being one for the most crowded anchorages on the BC coast. The warm waters of this area make it a perfect spot for swimming and water skiing. Teakerne Arm

Provincial Marine Park is a beautiful 128-hectare area off Lewis Channel on the west side of West Redonda Island in Desolation Sound, BC.  The park features features forested uplands and the amazing 30-metre high Cassel Falls.  Follow the hiking trails to Cassel Lake, perfect for a picnic and a swim in one of the best swimming spots in Desolation Sound, BC.  Most charter boats anchor in the bay immediately to the west of the falls, with plenty of anchor rode out in the deep bay and a stern line fastened ashore.  Teakerne Arm Provincial Marine Park has a dinghy landing dock and is a perfect area to include in your sailboat charter vacation. Walsh Cove 

is a small 85-hectare sheltered anchorage at Walsh Cove Provincial Marine Park, a favourite among Desolation Sound charter boats, is located on the east side of West Redonda Island, off Waddington Channel.  After anchoring in the secure and compact little cove, sailors can take their dinghy and explore the undeveloped shoreline, hike the trails and look for ancient native pictographs on the rock cliffs at Doctor Bay.

• Desolation Sound

Considered by sailors as one of the most beautiful sailboat cruising areas in the world due to the snow topped mountains, spectacular fjords, and wildlife; Desolation Sound Provincial Marine Park has earned the name of Canada’s Premier Sailing Playground.

Desolation Sound was first inhabited by the Salish people prior to European arrival. In 1792, Captain George Vancouver and two Spanish captains worked together and mapped the Desolation Sound. Captain George Vancouver named it “Desolation Sound” because "there was not a single prospect that was pleasing to the eye".

Sailors and cruisers have a different view of Desolation Sound. With sixty miles of breath-taking coastline, intricate waterways, small islands and numerous attractive bays and coves, nooks and crannies - there is enough to delight every sailor and cruiser.

Sea lions and seals can be found sunning and relaxing on the rocks, dolphins are often sighted dancing in your charter boat’s bow wake and you may even see killer whales’ pods that occasionally visit Desolation Sound. Anchor your sailboat or motorboat and enjoy hiking on shore or swim in one of the many warm fresh water mountain lakes. Only your time and imagination will limit the endless variety of places to discover and activities to pursue in this unforgettable marine park, the largest in British Columbia.

6 Amazing Experiences While Chartering A Boat In Desolation Sound, Canada

• Activities and Interests
• British Columbia
• Cruises and Sailing
• Destinations
• Outdoor Activities
• Types of Travel

Desolation Sound is a Pacific Northwest hidden jewel for boaters. Located 95 miles north of Vancouver, British Columbia — past the Sunshine Coast and at the tip of the Strait of Georgia — the area’s deepwater coves and mountainous fjords are a magical backdrop for sailors and motorboaters as well as kayakers. Minimal tidal exchange in the sound contributes to exceptionally warm ocean waters and the numerous freshwater lakes ashore, some with tropical-like white sand and aqua-blue water, simply add to the attraction.

Some people have chosen to jet off on international vacations again, but our group of seven went searching for a bucket-list trip closer to home. We found it in one magical week aboard a 45-foot Bavaria yacht cruising Desolation Sound. Calling beautiful British Columbia home and with a past history of chartering sailboats, we were able to take advantage of a last-minute cancellation, scoring the premier yacht in the charter fleet for our week in early August. 

We chartered out of Comox on Vancouver Island with Desolation Sound Yacht Charters. While boats can be rented in Nanaimo or Vancouver, Comox was the closest departure point.

Savary Island, just short of the entrance to Desolation Sound, looks to have been plucked from the tropics rather than the wilderness of Canada. It is a popular afternoon anchorage for an ocean swim or row to the sandy shore. 

Whether you want to fulfill a high-seas fantasy at the helm of a sailboat or prefer to experience the magic of being at sea with a hired skipper, there are ways to access this ultimate cruising area without owning a boat — and amazing experiences to be had while you’re in the area.

1. The Charter Experience

Will it be a bareboat charter or hired skipper? The answer depends on your experience. Charter companies will require a resume of boating and sailing experience, including coastal navigation and marine radio certification. Be prepared to document proof of competence, complete a navigation quiz, and demonstrate your abilities during an on-the-water boat check-out prior to departure. Having crew with boating experience on board is preferred for yachts greater than 40 feet. You can also hire a certified skipper for the entire charter. Additional fees will apply. Most skippers are fun-loving and amicable with holiday groups. Note that you will need to accommodate for their sleeping arrangements.

2. Places To See

There are numerous must-see destinations in Desolation Sound. This is far from an exhaustive list, but it’s a great place to start.

Teakerne Arm

British explorer Captain George Vancouver first visited Teakerne Arm in 1792 while mapping the area. At the time, he was less than impressed with the remoteness of the area, which now seems laughable as people savor the seclusion and soaring peaks rising from deep fjords, particularly striking within Teakerne Arm. For those who enjoy hiking and swimming, no visit is complete without trekking to and swimming in Cassel Lake above the cliff, and then frolicking in the cascading waterfall below.

Prideaux Haven

Prideaux Haven is undoubtedly one of the most scenic anchorages in Desolation Sound. This well-protected harbor has enough arms and interconnecting coves and passageways to accommodate many boats and still offer space while presenting endless corners for kayaking or exploring by dinghy or SUP.

Manson’s Landing Marine Park And Hague Lake

The 117-acre marine park was established in 1973 to protect the magnificent sand beaches, including 4,000 feet of ocean beach facing Marina Island, 3,400 feet of beach facing the Lagoon, and 1,300 feet of freshwater beach at Hague Lake. Hague Lake’s glistening white sand beach and tropical aqua blue water seem bizarrely transplanted from the tropics.

Roscoe Bay And Black Lake

Roscoe Bay is restricted by tides, but visiting by dinghy or timing it as an overnight stay will give you access to Black Lake, and a short hike to bare rocks ideal for sunbathing or diving into the warm, fresh water.

Refuge Cove

Refuge Cove on Cortes Island is the major supply center for yachts visiting Desolation Sound. Fuel, water, and provisions make it a popular stop. The General Store is also a great place to secure a copy of The Curve of Time by M. Wylie Blanchet – the true story of a young widowed mother cruising coastal British Columbia with her five young children in a 25-foot sailboat during the summer of 1926. Reading the book as you explore the same waters is an immersive experience.

3. Other Desolation Sound Adventures

While good winds are likely to make sailing from Comox to Desolation Sound and back exciting, light winds within the Sound are likely, making fishing, prawning, kayaking, swimming, hiking, stand-up paddleboarding, whale watching, and oyster and mussel harvesting all viable activities. Provided you have secured a fishing license and there are no shellfish warnings, a dinner from the sea to reward your efforts is absolutely possible! So is whale watching. We spotted several orcas rounding Spitsbury Point as we approached Cortes Island.

The setting sun at anchor is a daily reward, but a full moon reflecting over the water at night is a bonus for those who plan their charter with the lunar cycle in mind.

4. Enjoy Your Crew

Half the fun of cruising is the company you share it with! Our crew was game for adventure and took theme nights seriously, allowing for Mexican, Hawaiian, Italian, Western, and Pirate Night to dictate not only food and drinks but also attire. We kicked it off with the pirate theme our first evening in Cortes Bay, complete with sabering several bottles of champagne!

5. Experiencing The Sound In Season

July and August offer the warmest, most stable weather but can be busy with summer holidays. September, a fringe alternative, offers quieter anchorages and lakes still warmed from the heat of the summer. Wildfires in British Columbia and Washington and the possibility of smoke are a consideration, particularly in August, so you’re best to check local conditions before departing. So far, summer 2023 has been nothing but beautiful blue skies in Desolation Sound!

6. Get Excited About Your Itinerary

There are many ways to enjoy Desolation Sound. This was our route:

• Day 1: Comox to Savary Island, anchor for swim and SUP, destination Cortes Bay
• Day 2: Cortes Bay, past Squirrel Cove to Teakern Arm + waterfall (Cassel Lake)
• Day 3: Teakern Arm to Squirrel Cove via Refuge Cove, destination Prideau Haven
• Day 4: Prideau Haven to Roscoe Bay (Black Lake), destination Tenedos Bay (Unwin Lake)
• Day 5: Tenedos Bay to Manson’s Landing (Hague Lake)
• Day 6: Manson’s Landing to Henry Bay (north end Denman Island), 30 miles return
• Day 7: Henry Bay and return to Comox Harbor, 1 hour in the morning

Pro Tips For Cruising Desolation Sound

Staying safe and comfortable.

All charter boats are equipped with PFDs (personal floatation devices). Being on the water, even in the hot summer, can be cool, as can mornings and evenings. It’s best to pack something warm. Bring rain gear with the hope of never needing it. Charters come with basic linens and towels, but having a few extras for fresh and saltwater swimming is nice.

Planning Guides And Charter Recommendation

The Desolation Sound cruising guide by Peter Vassilopoulos is a great resource for not only planning but also interpreting the history of the area. The Dreamspeaker Cruising Guide to Desolation Sound and the Discovery Islands is another respected resource. The Boaters Blue Pages and Marine Guide by Pacific Yachting are indispensable directories of marine services.

When it comes to picking an outfitter, we highly recommend Desolation Sound Yacht Charters out of Comox. All boats come with charts on board, and most newer yachts have electronic navigation, but if you want to mark up a chart and plot courses, you’re best to bring your own.

Eating And Drinking

When sailing, non-greasy food, made easy to eat on the go, is key. But nothing beats fresh oysters shucked off the back of the boat or a fresh catch of salmon. Even if you’re not an angler, you can buy direct from fishing boats in Comox Harbor prior to departure. Boats typically have portable barbecues, cooktops with smaller ovens, and more limited refrigeration, so consider that when meal planning.

Other Cruising Considerations

Bringing charging blocks for cell phones is a good back-up to the yachts charging system, especially since you will be on anchor without shore power most nights. A fishing license is a must if you plan to harvest from the sea. Learn more on this Fisheries and Oceans of Canada page .

Ginger tea or sea sickness bands are good things to have on hand for crew, and sunglasses, sunhat, and sunscreen are a must for the intense reflection off the water. Non-marking white-sole deck shoes will ensure you leave no trace, and frozen water in jugs to keep food cold turns into extra drinking water after it thaws rather than a sloppy mess from an ice block. Canned drinks are always better than bottles to avoid breakage.

The best of all worlds — warm waters, great weather, great scenery

"Natural beauty, sparkling waters. The sort of place that the whole world should be visiting, but thankfully don't" — Captain Drew

Adventure Among Inlets, Coves and Parks

Known as a boater’s paradise, Desolation Sound is your gateway to unparalleled adventure. Located on the edge of remote communities, this region possesses deep water passageways among a maze of islands possessing old growth forests, sparkling waterfalls and sandy shorelines.

Surrounded by BC’s famous coastal mountains, this warm water destination offers a cruising experience through calm, protected waters where hiking and kayaking excursions provide the chance to view an abundance of marine life. As you travel through the inlets and coves, find safe anchorage at scenic points such as Prideaux Haven, Tenedos Bay and Grace Harbour.

If the last couple of years have taught us anything, it is the value of spending time with family and friends. For 2023, we return to explore the wonders and warm waters of Desolation Sound.

From epic star-filled nights, calm waters, majestic scenery, and sightings of local wildlife, this area is bound to inspire, relax and infuse you and your family and friends with memories that will be talked about for a lifetime! For the young at heart, it’s a great place to explore and enjoy watersports galore, go on a rainforest adventure, take a dip in pristine secluded lakes, explore trails, comb the beaches, or you can just chill on the deck with a favourite book and recharge your soul.

First mapped in 1792 by Captain George Vancouver and Spanish explorers Dionisio Galiano and Cayetano Flores, this area has been inhabited by the Tia’amin tribes for thousands of years and falls within the traditional territories of the Klahoose, Tia’amin and Holmalco first nations.

If you are looking for beautiful anchorages, warmer waters and warm sunny days Desolation Sound is arguably the best area on the BC coastline. This area is only accessible by air or water and offers something for everyone.

"The wonderful thing about "small" boat adventures is we have no itinerary. If we're watching something beautiful, we can hang out and watch it. There is no cruise ship itinerary to follow." — Captain Drew

Let's have some fun!

Some of the many activities we can enjoy in Desolation Sound:

• There are many good areas for marine and near-shore mammal viewing
• There are intertidal areas of with profusions of life as well as marine biologist friends to visit, who are studying and working at institutes to preserve the areas that we travel through. These visits are always interesting and add a depth of understanding to the beautiful flora and fauna that we see.
• The Golden beaches of Savary Island at low tide are lovely to explore
• View the island that humans are not allowed on, but we can view the sea lions and birds from the small boat
• Visit the local communities and pick up an ice cream sandwich (our Captain won't take much arm twisting to do this one!)
• Lake swimming and group-appropriate hikes on land. The forest has a wonderful warm rich smell that is quintessentially BC, and swimming in a lake surrounded by forested hills under the sun is a luxury in and of itself
• Picnics on little islands and the beach. Discovering the nature of our unique ecosystems in inlets and islands is a treat

To be represented by Premium Yachts, Ferretti Yachts and Riva , two prestigious brands of the Ferretti Group, will be present at the Moscow International Boat Show 2013, displaying motor yacht Ferretti 530 as well as Riva Iseo yacht tender.

Luxury motor yacht Ferretti 530

Luxury yacht Ferretti 530 was very keen to undertake in collaboration once again with AYT – Advanced Yacht Technology, Ferretti Group Engineering Division and Studio Zuccon International Project . The compact dimensions, 16 meters long and almost 5 meters wide, allow the 530 yacht to deliver grand Italian luxury and cruising immersed in such comfort until now unheard of in a yacht of this size.

Ferretti 530 yacht boasts three revolutionary innovations: the full beam master cabin with chaise longue and two large open view windows that make it a real suite at sea level bathed in light, tones and the natural essences of teak. Moving the galley from the center to the aft section creates a unique open space that includes the saloon, galley, cocktail bar and the dining area, the cockpit area continues thanks to the tilting window. The roll bar free sky lounge and the spoiler allow the 530 a sporty appearance combined with elegantly formal lines.

Ferretti 530 Yacht - Interior

Riva , the iconic Ferretti Group brand, presented a new model at the historical Lake d’Iseo shipyards in July 2011. Featuring elegance and ease of transportation as its distinctive characteristics, Iseo superyacht tender , a 27 foot runabout, is destined to become a must-have for those who love cruising on both lakes and the sea, and, most importantly, design enthusiasts. It is also perfect for anyone wishing to enhance their yacht with an exclusive tender that will never go unnoticed.

Riva Iseo superyacht tender

Due to its ease of manoeuvrability and size, Iseo yacht tender is also ideal as a tender for large yachts. Innovative and elegant, it can also guarantee comfort in bad weather conditions. Besides the electrohydraulic bimini top, it was also designed with a waterproof, automobile-style soft top which protects those on board against water and the wind during cruising.
