6 DAYS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA

Begin in English Bay with a composed embarkation and a calm introduction to the yacht’s rhythm. The city skyline provides a polished backdrop while your crew finalises provisions, sets guest preferences, and prepares for coastal cruising. Spend the afternoon with an easy harbour run and a relaxed swim platform moment, then settle into dinner as the light softens across Vancouver’s waterfront. This is an ideal first day to confirm your pace for the week and enjoy the comfort of a steady anchorage before the itinerary turns north into quieter waters. Overnight cruise to Indian Arm.

Indian Arm feels immediately removed from the city, even though the passage is short. The inlet narrows into still, reflective water framed by steep, evergreen slopes, creating a natural setting for an unhurried day on board. Enjoy paddleboarding in calm conditions, tender along the shoreline, or simply take in the sense of scale from the aft deck. With protected water, your crew can set up water toys with ease and keep the day flexible around your preferences. As evening arrives, the anchorage settles into near silence, perfect for a refined dinner and early night if you choose. Anchor the night in this sheltered inlet.

Today’s longer coastal leg is part of the pleasure, a satisfying run through island dotted waterways before arriving in Desolation Sound. The region is known for calm bays, clear water, and a protected feel that suits relaxed swim days and confident anchoring. Spend the afternoon exploring by tender, choosing a quiet cove for swimming, or taking a slow shoreline cruise where the landscape feels untouched. Desolation Sound also rewards an elegant onboard lunch that stretches into the afternoon, with the yacht steady and the scenery doing the work. As the sun drops, your captain positions for maximum calm and privacy. Anchor the night in this secluded cove.

Cruising into Jervis Inlet shifts the tone from island scenery to true fjord scale. The water deepens, the shoreline rises, and the sense of distance becomes part of the luxury. You will enjoy a clean, steady passage with opportunities to spot wildlife along the edges of the inlet and to pause for a quiet swim where conditions allow. This leg suits guests who appreciate the technical beauty of coastal navigation, narrow passages, precise turns, and protected anchor choices. The afternoon invites a slower pace, with time on deck and a relaxed dinner as the mountains darken against the sky. Overnight cruise to Princess Louisa Inlet.

Arriving at Princess Louisa Inlet feels like entering a private world. Steep mountain walls surround the water, and the atmosphere becomes still and almost theatrical in its quiet. Your crew will guide the yacht carefully into position, choosing an anchorage that keeps you comfortable while preserving the sense of complete seclusion. Spend the day with tender exploration, paddleboarding in glass calm water, and an unhurried lunch served with a view that never demands embellishment. This is the defining night of the voyage, where the landscape and the silence become the experience. Anchor the night in this remote fjord anchorage.

The final leg returns you toward Vancouver Island with a satisfying open water passage and a sense of completion. Nanaimo offers a practical and comfortable finish, with easy marina access, shore dining options, and a calm harbour arrival. Use the afternoon to enjoy a final swim if conditions permit, then dress for a closing evening that feels polished and unhurried. Your crew will handle docking, logistics, and a seamless disembarkation plan, leaving you free to simply enjoy the last moments on board. Anchor the night in this sheltered harbour.
