description
Cambridge is the essential technical stopover for sailing boats using the Northwest Passage. You will find very friendly locals, diesel fuel, water, two or three supermarkets or convenience stores, a hardware store, as well as a mechanical workshop.
A slipway allows fishing boats to be hauled out, but it is not really suitable for small to medium-sized sailing boats.
The quay is T-shaped. It is public and free of charge. In case of chop, the best-protected spot is located inside the T, on the east side. Despite its cramped appearance, it allows mooring a sailing boat up to 16 or 17 meters.
Diesel:
For fuel delivery by tanker truck, contact Qillaq at +1 867 983 2818.
The diesel price is 1.6028 CAD per litre (August 2026), plus 525 CAD delivery charges per tanker truck. If fuel is delivered to multiple boats at the same time, these costs can be shared.
It is also possible to transport fuel in jerrycans ("jerry-rigging") by anchoring in front of the petrol station. The distance between the beach and the petrol station is approximately 300 meters.

Want to know how the wind score works? Then you should read this explanation.
The wind forecasts come from yr.no (Norwegian Meteorological Institute), and was last updated -167 minutes ago (Monday 17 August 12:16 AM). The next night score shows you the worst hour between 22:00 and 08:00 the next night. We recommend that you check multiple sources for wind forecasts. windy.com is a good website to show larger wind systems.
The safe wind directions for this harbour has been decided by an algorithm, based on how elevated the land around the harbour is. It's mostly correct, but sometimes the underlying data about elevation levels is not good enough to make correct decisions. It's a great help to other if you can validate or adjust the safe wind directions. You can see the data used by the algorithm to decide the safe wind directions by clicking here.
