Whether aboard our classic wooden schooner Passing Cloud or the ketch-rigged Ocean Wayfinder, we love to set sail whenever conditions allow.
Outer Shores expeditions offer outstanding opportunities to travel under wind power, with some of the most rewarding sailing found in Haida Gwaii, alongside Northern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. In places like Haida Gwaii, steady winds, open water, and long passages create ideal conditions for true sail-powered travel.
Whenever conditions allow, we turn off the engine, hoist the sails, and invite guests to experience the quiet satisfaction of moving across the water under canvas alone. For those who wish to be hands-on, our crew is always happy to involve guests in the sailing experience, from raising and trimming sails to time at the helm and learning the fundamentals of sailing technique and terminology.
No matter which vessel you are aboard, sailing with us is a memorable and defining part of exploring the BC coast.
