Sailing & Cruising Adventures
The Sunshine Coast, Desolation Sound and Gulf Islands areas offer some of the finest sailing anywhere in the world. There are a multitude of unspoiled anchorages and protected bays just waiting to be explored by adventurous boaters. You can either make your own way up the coast with your boat from points south like Vancouver, Seattle, coastal Oregon and California... or better yet, hitch a plane ride and come on up for a fabulous cruise with Gibsons Sailing School.. When you consider the time and cost involved in bringing your own boat, the school’s all-inclusive sailing packages are a steal and come with the benefit of veteran skippers John Roper and Greig Williams who are knowledgeable about our area and the challenges it presents to deep-keeled boats. It's also a great way to introduce yourself to the pleasures and skills of sailing to test whether you're ready to invest in your own boat and make a regular thing out of this terrific recreational activity.
For more information about sailing in our region, please read John Roper's excellent article about the subject. For current specials and getaway packages visit the getaways section of www.bigpacific.com.
