Travel time from PA to Bamfield by boat

[Whole in the Water]

How long does it take to travel from PA to Bamfield in good water conditions?

I know that travel needs to be done in the morning as the wind picks up in the afternoon in the summer

2-4hours depending on your cruise speed. 44nm, according to another member. I end up going in the afternoons 4 hours

I forgot to add my cruising speed. On avg. about 25 mph to keep fuel consumption down. Looks to me about approx. 36 miles by the Navionics Chart Viewer so I guess it could take approx. 1.5 hrs.

Yep. We're all going to be launching out from Port same time if your coming on our trip in August. Don't worry about road bamfield etc. It takes usually hour and 15 up canal unless @chris73 pins it lolol. It's not far at all.

Your rig won't be that much gas.

As others have replied. 1hr 15 min at 25Mph.
The boat ride is part of the experience for me. Beautiful country. Feel the stress of the city fade away as you cruise.
We can leave PA at 6:30 am, check in at lodge and have lines in the water by 8:30.

He passed me a couple months ago coming back in the fog from big bank like I was standing still lol.

If you have a Navionics account and subscription its pretty accurate minus weather on how long it will take you to travel the distance. Will also show fuel economy. Just punch in your boat size and cruising speed
hit route, automatic

His boat does ride nice.
I filled it up once before fuel prices got stupid, it was not fun then. I can't imagine what it costs now.

I've done that trip 100's of times from Clutesi to Bamfield - dock to dock allow 1.5 hours at normal cruise speeds...and watch out for many dead heads and logs in the Alberni end of the canal...plus I would recommend going early (pre-noon) to avoid afternoon winds and waves in Nahmint.
