Discover the beauty of sailing
in Desolation Sound

We had a great trip with Calma Sailing. Dominik was an excellent instructor with comprehensive coverage of the Sail Canada Basic Cruising Skills course. He was also an excellent host during off-hours offering delicious food and interesting conversation. The scenery was spectacular. I would highly recommend this trip for anyone wishing to experience Desolation Sound by sailboat.

Dominik is a great teacher and full of knowledge! Before taking his lessons, I was pretty nervous about sailing and being out on the water. Dominik helped me become a more confident, capable sailor. I highly recommend him for anyone wanting to learn how to sail or to learn more about sailing!

It was truly an amazing experience from start to finish. Dominik, the instructor, was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, making the learning process enjoyable and stress-free… On top of that, the gourmet food provided by Calma Sailing was simply outstanding, adding a touch of luxury to the entire journey. I highly recommend Calma Sailing and Dominik as an instructor for anyone looking to learn how to sail while enjoying delicious meals along the way.

We have the most beautiful memories from our trip with Dominik. He was a wonderful captain, and gave us an unforgettable tour through desolation sound… We are eternally grateful for our time in desolation sound and the absolute beauty we were lucky enough to experience. Also, the food was OUTSTANDING!

Dominik and Ania were both attentive and communicated proactively to ensure our family would have a great experience. The four of us had a mix of sailing experience and expectations which Dominik adapted to in our 5 day course. The food was exceptional and the boat is comfortable and clean. Calma Sailing exceeded our expectations at every step of the trip planning and our tour of Desolation Sound. Thank you Dominik and Ania from Grant, Angie, Arden and Sage!!!!

I just spent 5 days on a liveaboard course with Calma Sailing and it was the BEST! Dominik is an excellent instructor and I felt that we were in the best care on the trip. The Discovery Islands is an incredible place to learn to sail – we saw pods of humpback whales, orca, and he showed us so many magnificent wilderness gems around the islands – it was the most amazing classroom on the water! I feel so much more confident to sail my own boat and will absolutely be coming back for more courses and tours with Calma.

Just back from the 5-day cruise… a fantastic trip! We wanted to experience sailing in Desolation Sound and it was everything we hoped it would be… great scenery, sailing, conversation and food. Dominik was an amazing host and made each day special… Desolation Sound is not to be missed, especially with only the sound of wind in the sails. Really spectacular nature, solitude and quiet, a much needed respite from urban living. We will be back!

This was something I have been wanting to do for a long time and it was the experience of a lifetime! Breathtakingly beautiful and very professional, I would thoroughly recommend Calma Sailing.
