Map of Vancouver Island

$129.00 CAD

An ocean-focused map print of Vancouver Island, the largest island on North America’s west coast. Trace rugged outer-coast shorelines, big sandy beaches, and the communities that tie together ferry trips, logging roads, and surf breaks.

20x30 map professionally printed using archival-quality materials and processes.

This Vancouver Island map balances the grit of the working mariner with the spirit of the ocean adventurer:

  • Colours that capture the rainforest and slate blue seas
  • Ocean-first design with features that matter to waterpeople
  • Labeled like a nautical chart
  • Highlights good provisioning towns
  • Includes water depth shading
  • Paper maps show you the whole story all at once
  • Made for storytelling and adventure planning

Vancouver Island is where salt and stories collide - from the calm waters of the Salish Sea to wild edges of the West Coast. This high-quality print lets you bring the Island's coastline home. Because you deserve more than a faded nautical chart on your wall.

Map Purpose

This map is for dreaming and story-telling. It is not a nautical chart and is not intended for navigation.

Materials

All maps are printed with giclée techniques using fade resistant, archival inks on 240gsm, satin photo paper with a resin coating. The result is a crisp white base with vibrant colours.

All maps are rolled paper prints with a ~0.78" (2cm) white border that makes them ready to mat and frame.

Dimensions: 30x20 inches (77x51 cm) measured to the outside edge of paper.

Print Colour

Every digital screen displays colour differently so please be aware that the actual item may appear to be slightly different in color than what you see on your computer or phone screen.

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,

Why I made this map

A map of Vancouver Island is iconic; But this one is special. It's a tribute to the island that raised me. It's where I learned to swim, snorkel, fish, & surf. I've hiked every coastal trail. It was the first place I had a job at sea. Where I cut my teeth as the captain of my own sailboat.

I love bopping around the Gulf Islands. I live for a long-period swell on the West Coast. Vancouver was the first bridge I ever sailed under. Victoria was my first sailboat vs floatplane experience. Seymour Narrows was, for a long time, the scariest patch of water I'd been in. It's where I learned so much about what seamanship means; what it means to be a waterperson. The risk and the reward.

And you know what? It's just super pretty. That bright green forest smashing into the slate blue sea. The weird and wonderful sea creatures. And all the interesting people living their lives on the rainy west coast.
