Now All Canadian Boaters Get It!

July 9, 2026

It’s a beautiful summer and we have what we feel is some very good news for all of you enjoying your boats. Right across Canada.

Our flagship magazines, Pacific Yachting and Canadian Boating, have teamed up to collaborate on a single, uniting, Canadian-sourced online digest to tie together boaters in every region with information and news from the boating scene.  Whether you’re a power or sailboater, a cruiser or racer, prefer big or small boats, our content buffet will have stories for you. Just like that delightful buffet, it keeps delivering fresh tasty treats twice a month, all year long. And guess what – it’s free! Tell your friends they can subscribe here! 

We all know there are lots of boat publications out there, mostly not from here, but OnBoard is the only online source that brings you 100% Canadian news starring Canadian boaters. Let’s face it – this country is unique with its own way of going about things: different boats (lots from Europe), different histories and traditions, different regulations and specs, and especially different (better) cruising destinations from the BC islands to Georgian Bay to charming Nova Scotia ports.

So, congratulations. As of today, from The Atlantic to the Pacific and all the waters in between, we’re all on the same page. Welcome OnBoard.

The Whitsunday Islands

By Mathew Channer

On my first day as a commercially registered yacht captain, I sailed a Fontaine Pajot 38 catamaran from mainland Australia across the Whitsunday Passage to the western shores of the world-famous Whitsunday islands.

We cruised northeast on a 15-knot beam reach… perfect catamaran sailing conditions, watching the hazy shapes of the islands colourize and morph into crescent beaches, jungled ridgelines and rocky outcrops.
