Squirrel Cove is one of the most spectacular and well-protected destinations in Desolation Sound, offering boaters a perfect combination of natural beauty, sheltered waters and easy access to some of British Columbia’s most stunning cruising grounds. Located on Cortes Island, the cove provides excellent protection from prevailing winds and is a popular anchorage for anyone working their way along the Inside Passage or just exploring Desolation Sound.

One of the most exhilarating experiences for boaters in British Columbia is taking a day trip from anchor to a 6000’ picnic. The YachtingBC team recently had a day to remember with 49 North Helicopters while filming for our next episode of PowerBoat Television Based in Campbell River, 49 North definitely exceeds expectations when it comes to “creating unique and memorable experiences” Boating in BC sometimes includes going from one magic carpet ride to another.

One of the most unique islands along the Inside Passage, Savary Island, located just north of the Strait of Georgia is a must visit, laid back, off-grid destination for boaters. With its pristine beaches, this narrow sandy island feels more like a tropical escape than a typical Pacific Northwest destination. A little island soul this Friday.

This 2004 Zodiac Hurricane inflatable with a jet drive is an exceptional vessel for exploring the rugged and remote wilderness of British Columbia. Built with military-grade durability, its heavy-duty Hypalon tubes and rigid hull offer strength, buoyancy, and safety even in unpredictable coastal or river conditions. The compact design allows easy trailering and launching from remote beaches, forest access points, or shallow tidal creeks that larger boats can’t reach. The jet drive propulsion delivers outstanding maneuverability and safety in shallow or debris-filled waters such as estuaries, glacial rivers, and inlet backchannels. Without an exposed propeller, it can glide over submerged logs or rocky shoals that define much of BC’s wild coastline and freshwater systems. This makes it ideal for wilderness photographers, anglers, or adventurers seeking hidden coves and untouched terrain. Lightweight yet incredibly stable, the Zodiac handles swells and chop efficiently, while its fast planing performance reduces travel time between remote anchorages. The simple, low-draft setup also requires minimal maintenance compared to traditional boats. Whether navigating the misty fjords of the North Coast, the salmon-rich rivers of Haida Gwaii, or the serene stillness of Desolation Sound, the 2004 Zodiac Hurricane jet offers unmatched versatility and confidence in Canada’s wild waters. The pontoons were serviced in 2022, with new VHF, AIS, chart plotter, and radar installed as well. The boat also includes a triple-access trailer.
