"In our opinion the trip was 'world class'... We love the water, but were looking for more of a personal experience. You far exceeded our expectations. Thank you for making our cruise very special. We look forward to sailing with you again!"..."

Back in 1991 we decided to explore the idea of creating a longer getaway for those searching for more of a wilderness experience. Our search focused on the southern Inside Passage areas of Desolation Sound and Princess Louisa Inlet located along the British Columbia coast. Princess Louisa Inlet offers spectacular 5000 ft fjord-like reaches, distant ice fields and waterfalls that plunge into the sound. It is said by many to be a "Yosemite at sea level."

Desolation Sound is the ultimate destination for many Northwest sailors. Its remote location offers unsurpassed vistas and a variety of world class anchorages. Beautiful mountain scenery and the warmest water for swimming on the northwest coast can be found here. Both of our 12 day sailing adventures offer spectacular scenery and a true wilderness experience aboard the comfort and safety of Northwind.
