Desolation Sound Yacht Charter | Explore Vancouver Island by Superyacht

Sail north along the spectacular coastline of Vancouver Island and into the protected paradise of Desolation Sound — one of the Pacific Northwest’s most awe-inspiring and peaceful cruising grounds.

This charter is for those who crave wild landscapes, calm anchorages, and rare access to places unreachable by land. With Shana, you’ll explore secluded inlets, glacial fjords, warm swimming waters, and remote island chains — all in comfort, privacy, and style.

Desolation Sound is only fully accessible by water, and few vessels provide the comfort and flexibility of Shana. Unlike tours or ferries, your private charter allows you to stop at hidden coves, adjust your itinerary, and explore at your own rhythm — all while enjoying fine dining, first-class amenities, and five-star service.

• Desolation Sound Marine Park
  Known for having the warmest waters north of Mexico, this area is perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, and kayaking among forested islands and steep cliffs.
• Remote Fjords & Anchorages
  Discover towering granite cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and pristine coves only accessible by yacht.
• Wildlife Encounters
  Keep an eye out for bears foraging onshore, bald eagles overhead, and seals sunbathing on quiet rocks. This area is a haven for photographers and nature lovers.
• Village Stops & Culture
  Stop in charming coastal villages such as Lund or Refuge Cove to experience local art, seafood, and Indigenous history.
• Island Solitude
  Find total privacy — no crowds, no cruise ships, just you and the stunning Canadian wilderness.
