Zodiac is delaying her next Voyage to Desolation Sound Cruise to August 2025. This will allow her and her crew to spend more time at her homeport in August 2024 to celebrate her first centennial. We apologize for any inconvenience, but we look forward to returning to British Columbia in 2025 and will begin taking reservations for that cruise in summer of 2024!
The voyage to Desolation Sound is the Schooner Zodiac’s ultimate adventure. Desolation Sound sits at the north end of Canada’s Sunshine Coast and is widely regarded as some of the best saltwater cruising ground in the world, with steep evergreen mountains, deep fjords, and pristine waters.
Previous Desolation Sound guests have referred to the trip as a “summer camp for adults”, and we find this to be an apt description for one of our favorite trips! In addition to taking in some jaw-dropping scenery, Desolation Sound guests enjoy swimming in freshwater lakes, kayaking down secluded basins under 1000’ sheer rock walls, small-boat sailing in stunning fjords, hiking to picturesque overlooks, checking out impressive waterfalls, sometimes impromptu live music on deck (depending on the skills of crew and guests alike), wildlife viewing, spectacular sunsets, rope swings, salmon fishing, slurping down fresh-grilled oysters, and silly events like costume parties, talent shows, scavenger hunts, and maybe some arts and crafts as well! Sailors, fear not although sailing is not the primary emphasis of this trip, we often get a couple days of crackerjack sailing at the beginning and end of the voyage. |

Part of the adventure of sailing is that wind and tide may alter your course. For this reason the Zodiac may deviate from it’s intended route at the captain’s discretion. Bearing this in mind, the captain and crew will always endeavor to give passengers the most incredible experience possible. Already booked and wondering what to pack? See our handy packing list.
“A great experience a total hands on sailing adventure get to learn a lot of different aspects of sailing, hoisting and furling up the sails, taking the helm and standing watches while at sea sailing. The food is second to none all very well prepared and thought out. Lots to do too while at anchor, kayaking, sailing and swimming when possible, also able to learn some knot tying and rope know how..Take your cameras as you will be treated to spectacular scenery and might even catch some whale watching while your are at it. I do plan to go back. Had my first oysters on this trip cooked of course. It is a very entertaining trip.
