Sneak Peek: Watch for CB October

September 11, 2025

Canadian Boating’s October issue is on its way celebrating your jam-packed summer some  blue-water sailing, Canadian history, and comprehensive power reviews, all in one magazine! Our favourite boating personality Steven Bull (Waterways TV) takes us on an intriguing historical tour of Canadian canals.

CB contributor Zuzana Prochazka gives us a glimpse into the timeless beauty and culture of an iconic Pacific charter destination. Find out why Tahiti’s mountains, markets and island-to-island sailing keep sailors coming back year after year. Then, Katherine Stone takes us on a tour of the BVIs best anchorages, destinations and local watering holes, including where to find the best rum painkiller.

Our power review by Andy Adams features the Scout 400 LXF – not just a top-tier fishing machine, it’s also a premium adventure day boat and comfortable overnighter with fold out on-deck galley and 60+ miles-per-hour performance.

The Chapparal 26 Surf is a performance surf boat and premium bowrider with patented surf-features and accessories and tow-sports driven performance. Read Matthew Channing’s Okanagon Lake run report to see why the Chapparal 26 Surf could be your next best-ever boat.

This issue, we’re kicking off Canadian Boating’s new Gear we Love column. It’s as simple—and as good—as it sounds. Great gear, and why we love it. Last page, Crossing the Line, is back –  boat crime is everywhere (yikes), but don’t worry, the skilled detectives of the Special Boating Unit are on the case!
