Outer Shores, and many of our expeditions – especially those in Northern Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, and, at times, Haida Gwai – offer exceptional opportunities to travel under wind power.

Whenever conditions are right, we turn off the engine, hoist the sails, and invite guests to experience the simple joy and quiet magic of moving across the water under canvas alone. For those who wish to be hands-on, we’re always delighted to involve guests in the sailing experience, from helping raise and trim sails to spending time at the helm or learning the basics of sailing terminology and technique.

No matter which vessel you’re aboard, sailing with us is an unforgettable part of exploring the BC coast.
