3552 - Seymour Inlet Nautical Chart

The Fjord Explorer: 3552 - Seymour Inlet and Belize Inlet

Journey into the heart of the Coast Mountains with the professional authority of the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS). Chart 3552 is the essential 1:50,000 scale "road map" for mariners, providing the high-resolution data required for navigating the 220 miles of intricate fjords that make up the Seymour and Belize Inlet systems.

Precision for British Columbia’s Deepest Wilderness

Once past the threshold of the Nakwakto Rapids, mariners enter a world of extreme depths and vertical rock faces. CHS Chart 3552 provides the "ground-truth" data required for safe pilotage in this remote landscape:

• Comprehensive Inlet Coverage: Detailed mapping of Seymour Inlet and Belize Inlet, providing the necessary bathymetry to navigate these long, narrow waterways safely.

• Technical Sound Navigation: Offers precise data for Alison Sound, Nugent Sound, and Frederick Sound, where mountains rise thousands of feet directly from the water's edge.

• Essential Shoreline & Anchorage Data: While these inlets are notoriously deep, Chart 3552 identifies the rare and vital spots where anchoring is possible, as well as the drying mudflats near river deltas.

• Hazard & Elevation Mapping: Explicitly marks submerged rocks and coastal characteristics, essential for situational awareness in areas where cellular and GPS signals may be obstructed by high terrain.

The Professional Standard for Remote Coastal Safety

As the primary reference for one of the least visited regions of the BC coast, the reliability of Chart 3552 is paramount. Whether you are a wilderness cruiser, a commercial fisher, or an eco-tourism operator, this official CHS chart delivers the accuracy and detail needed to explore these silent, majestic fjords with total confidence.
