Sounds a lot like desolate. 
Just teasing. It's whatever one enjoys. I'd be fine in that level of remoteness for about 24 hours.

An isolated anchorage with 13 other boats there? My goodness, I don't have 13 people that live within a mile of me.
Every anchorage I stay in is remote. Generally 50 NM or more to the nearest marina.
Here in Alaska we rarely will stay in an anchorage where another boat is. There are just so many georgous places to set the hook for the night and so few other boaters that we almost never have to share.
Our area is so remote that google earth doesn't even have close up imagery.
Long bay or hidden bay? Northwest PWS

Greetings,
Mr. ASD. "Is there really any other set of criteria other than western BC and Alaska!!" I can appreciate the beauty of the area but I strongly suspect western BC and Alaska are NOT the center of everyone's the boating universe. Scandinavia, Northeastern Canada, Australia and New Zealand to name but a few, ALL have comparable cruising grounds I'm quite sure.

Well RT there are very beautiful places throughout the world and some maybe remote, but BC and Alaska, the pearl gem of remote cruising!

Lot's of remote anchorages in the Bahamas. And you can actually swim there and catch a fish that pulls harder than a sodden tube sock. Reefs and palm trees are good things.
Also, some really nice remote areas in the big bend and eastern panhandle of Florida.
Second the opinion on the 10,000 islands as well.

Remote anchorages are wonderful things and we enjoyed them greatly in the US, Canada and the Bahamas.
Once further south and east in the Caribbean the conventional wisdom is to avoid any isolated situation for security reasons. Noon Site reports all the attacks against cruisers in the Caribbean and those who intend to travel there should become familiar with its information.
