Approach and Docking at Okeover Arm BC

approaching and Docking at Okeover Arm Public Dock | Gateway to Desolation Sound | Bayliner 4788

Join us as we approach and tie up at the Okeover Arm Public Dock (government wharf) on British Columbia's Sunshine Coast — a key launch point and staging area for trips into Desolation Sound Marine Park.

Suitability for a Bayliner 4788: Plenty of space for larger vessels when not overcrowded, but plan ahead in peak summer — arrive early, monitor VHF if needed, and consider wind/tide effects on docking (use spring lines and fenders for the 47+ foot length)

Nearby facilities: Adjacent to Okeover Arm Provincial Park (camping, picnic areas), boat launch (tidal limitations — best at high tide), parking, and easy access to Lund for supplies or the pub

Tips for Desolation Sound explorers: Great spot to stage before heading north, with pump-out nearby in Lund if required.

Load up on clams and oysters before heading to Desolation Sound or on your way home.

Okeover Arm is a classic entry point to the warm waters and stunning anchorages of Desolation Sound. Perfect for powerboat cruisers like the Bayliner 4788 looking for protected access and a convenient tie-up.
