"Everybody who comes to my place goes straight to this map I’ve got framed up on the wall, total conversation starter. Great for dreaming up trips and getting the big picture. Stoked!"

Ilja: Surfer, BC

"We love pointing out all the places we’ve explored along the inside passage on our sailboat. It’s such a fun way to relive and share our stories."

Judy: Sailor, Washington

"Most maps of BC and Vancouver Island gloss over the ocean. Courtney’s maps show the continental shelf and key ocean features, so you really see what makes this coast special.”

Tristan: Marine Biologist, BC

How You Use the Coast

Maybe you chase swell. Maybe you follow tides. Maybe you live by the seasons. Or maybe you just need to see the whole coast at once:

Why These Maps Exist

A paper map lets you see the whole story at once: where you’ve been, where you’re going, and what’s next.

You use them to plan routes with your hands. To trace coastlines, spark conversations, and relive trips long after you’re back on land.

Each map is carefully designed and printed on archival paper so it can live on your wall, in your workspace, or aboard your boat. Part practical planning tool, part lasting artwork. A map you don’t just look at, but use, revisit, and build stories around for years.

Wall maps and charts are so captivating. I find myself dreaming and plotting new adventures whilst looking at them. Looking at and studying a nice large map is so different than looking at maps on any screen

WELL THIS IS COOL

One thing I noticed is how often I stop to just look at the coast as a whole. Then think of where we still want to go exploring. Big fan of this map.

I LOVE the map! It’s beautiful and on such nice, thick, quality paper. I’m thinking about mounting it on something magnetic so we can use magnets to show the places we’ve been (I don’t want to put holes in it!).

All the maps of coastal BC I can find gloss over the ocean and oceanographic features. These maps show significant features like the continental shelf, highlighting what makes this coast so amazing!
