Toba Wilderness Marina
About
One of the most remote and spectacular marina stops on the BC coast — a floating dock facility operated by the Klahoose First Nation at the head of Toba Inlet, 30 nm north of Desolation Sound. No roads, no noise, no light pollution. Black bears on the shoreline, bald eagles overhead, spot prawns 100 feet below. Toba Wilderness Marina is the turnaround point for boats that make the extra push north from Prideaux Haven, and it rewards that push completely.

Anchoring in Pacific Northwest Waters
Twelve-foot tides, four-knot current in the passes, kelp on every shoreline, and a wind that can shift through three quadrants while you sleep. PNW anchoring is its own discipline.
