This Great Bear Rainforest map balances the grit of the working mariner with the spirit of the ocean adventurer:

  • Colours that capture foggy channels, granite headlands, and steel-blue seas
  • Ocean-first design with features that matter to waterpeople
  • Labeled like a nautical chart
  • Captures remote communities and provisioning spots
  • Includes detailed water depth shading
  • Printed maps show you the whole story all at once
  • Made for storytelling and adventure planning

These are waters that define you. Thousands of miles where every corner brings the chance for something new. From the narrow band of the Inside Passage, to the exposed waters of Hecate Strait, and up into the fjords that bite deep into the Coast Mountains around Bella Coola, this high-quality print lets you keep the North Coast of BC on your wall even when you’re tied to the dock.

It’s for mariners who know that some of the best stories happen north of Cape Caution.
Map Purpose

These maps are for anyone who likes the ocean: sailors, surfers, fisherman, paddlers, divers, coastal hikers; people who hike up that hill for a sunset over the water, and anyone who loves a good tidepool. PSST...they also make a great gift :)
People who see the map can walk up to it and start asking questions and you start telling stories you forgot you had. You dream bigger. You plan BIGGER. You remember that being on the water matters to you so you do it more.
These maps are from an ocean perspective. The labels are similar to what's one a marine chart: bays, inlets, channels, seas. The towns are good stops for provisions or places to start an adventure. The colours feel like the place feels. It's from a mariners perspective. It's a map for waterpeople made by a waterperson.
An analogue, paper map is pure magic. It let's you see everything all at once. It lets you understand the big picture and easily switch to the details. And! Unlike a phone, everyone can look at the same thing at the same time, which makes for much better stories.
Nope. A nautical chart is a very specific, standardized, tool for safe navigation. A chart helps you keep your boat floating and lets you find your way at sea.These maps are not for navigation. They are for decoration, general trip planning , dreaming, and storytelling,

Yup. My boat is a Kelly Peterson 44 called Whisky Jack II. Because I live on a boat, when you place an order, your map is printed by my professional photography and fine art print partners.

Why I made this map

This was a request from friends: “If you make maps for a living, why don’t we have one of the Central Coast yet?” When you run your own business there’s really only one answer to that question. So here it is - the print I kept wishing existed, for the crew that kept nudging me to make it real.

If you live there you probably think of it as the Central Coast and the North Coast. If you live down south in the Lower Mainland or Victoria, you probably call everything north of Vancouver Island "the North Coast."

I spent 5 seasons of good-weather months working on BC's Central Coast, tracing the same channels over and over until the names on the chart felt like neighbours. Long days riding the ebb through narrow inlets, standing anchor watch in strange anchorages, and timing crossings when Hecate decided to play nice. This map is a way of hanging all those passages, crossings, and near-misses in one place.

Hecate Strait is famously fickle, but it is also a fascinating inland(ish) sea; a shallow, wind-swept bowl that sits between big mountains and big swell. I wanted a map that shows it as more than just the scary gap between the mainland and the islands; a place where science, weather, and intuition all meet in the pit of your stomach.

In the end, I made this map for the people who know the North Coast as more than a line on the way to somewhere else. The skippers counting on one more weather window. The friends sharing coffee at the dock in Prince Rupert. The dreamers tracing routes with a finger and wondering what it would feel like to cross “that” strait.
