The state rooms are only $60 and sleep 4 guys with a private shower in the room , it's way cheaper than a hotel and feels pretty damn good after a day of driving . You wake up grab a coffee and breakfast and unload at 6 AM in Haida Gwaii . I'll leave Vancouver and my dad will leave Calgary and we meet at the ferry . His drive is slightly quicker than mine .

That sounds like a great idea! And a guy doesn't miss a day of fishing.
When does the Ferry leave Haidi Gwaii for the run home?

I have a 26' boat that I will trailer so not interested in going over to the Island at this point. It's not a cabin cruiser so would be day trips. Hopefully a destination that I can get to in one day. Possibly even leave the boat there for the season to return several times.

Call it $1,000 return with just basic accomodation
Your total length will be different.
Add in tax as well

Jamie your numbers seam pretty close to what I remember paying when I took my last boat up . We split it 4 ways so it wasn't to bad .
