Making plans for the 2026 cruising season? Be sure to purchase the latest edition of the Waggoner Cruising Guide, available online at www.waggonerbooks.com and at your local marine supply stores. Waggoner will be at the upcoming boat shows too! Stop by and say hello.
Boaters often refer to the Waggoner Cruising Guide as the bible for Northwest boating. They look to Waggoner to find the latest information for anchorages and marinas, refer to dock diagrams for their slip assignment, and use Waggoner reference maps for trip planning, including fuel stops. Each year the Waggoner Guide includes new maps, diagrams, and local knowledge notations to help boaters discover important navigation tips, and learn about the latest customs requirements and wildlife regulations.
When planning for the season’s adventures, boaters are quick to ask us about the latest happenings at Echo Bay, Gorge Harbour, and status of moorage at Oyster Bay Marina, or inquire about the new docks at Manana Marina. What about the new restaurant and pub on Hornby Island? When is the new breakwater going to be in place at Port Orchard? And other questions like the start of development for a new restaurant and accommodations at Silva Bay, or news about the ground breaking for a new store and fuel dock at Squirrel Cove. What’s happening at Rosario Resort and Port Browning? And where do I stay when visiting the City of Vancouver? Find the answers to these questions and news about many other boating destinations in the 2026 Waggoner Cruising Guide. As always, the Waggoner editors and field correspondents ply the waters of the Pacific Northwest for the latest changes and news for the convenience of our readers.
Waggoner Guide readers will discover that West Coast Vancouver Island has been completely updated and rewritten, with new discoveries included in the 2026 edition of Waggoner. You will also find many changes and updates in the Broughton Archipelago and Northern BC, too. What about water, power, showers, and other amenities? You will find the latest amenities listed under the writeup for each marina destination as well as local attractions. Whether you’re cruising the marine waters of Washington State, British Columbia, or Southeast Alaska, you’ll want the latest edition of the Waggoner Cruising Guide. And you won’t want to miss the entertaining sidebar articles about nautical pet escapades, our theme for 2026.
The 2026 Waggoner Guides have rolled off the presses and are on their way to Waggoner Headquarters. Give the Waggoner Office a call for last-minute holiday gift giving arrivals. You can pre-order your copy at www.waggonerbooks.com. We appreciate everyone’s continued support for Waggoner through your purchases, communications, and shared enthusiasm. We wish you all a wonderful 2026 boating season!
