45ft Yacht with a Professional Photographer | Vancouver or Deep Cove
I had the most unforgettable experience that exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning, everything was just as described, but what truly made it special was Captain Dima. He went above and beyond—thoughtful, kind, and in constant communication to make sure every detail was perfect. I booked the yacht to propose, and thanks to their care and attention, it became one of the most beautiful and meaningful moments of my life. It turned out to be an absolute beautiful and memorable moment.

Wilson was a fantastic host. I connected with Wilson early on to coordinate our plans and he was more than accommodating. During our scheduled time our entire party had the best trip and we can’t wait to book with him again.

54ft BRAND NEW - Luxury Yacht in Vancouver
Unforgettable Experience - Highly recommend!!! We rented the yacht for our intimate wedding ceremony and my husband and I are very happy how it all exceeded our expectations. Fabio, the yacht owner, was very accommodating, responsive and professional. The yacht was also beautifully maintained. It was such a smooth sailing experience as we were taken to breathtaking views. The captain was also skilled and made us feel safe. A true 5 star experience!!!
