Fjord mountains, deep water, islands and forest on a grand scale.
Seals, seabirds, porpoises and, now and then, whales live in these waters.
When the wind allows, we sail rather than motor, for a quieter day.
Time to relax, eat, take photos and simply be on the water.
Wingaway is a 40 ft Beneteau Oceanis with wide decks, cushioned cockpit seating and a cabin below. Comfortable for groups, and well suited to Howe Sound.
Maren grew up racing dinghies, lived aboard for stretches, and once sailed his family to Mexico. These days he skippers harbour and evening sails, and cruises the Gulf Islands when he isn’t. He knows these waters well enough that the wildlife, the tides and the best evening light are all part of the same conversation.
Howe Sound Expeditions fill early: summer dates book several weeks ahead.
