48ft Luxury Yacht Charter in Downtown Vancouver
Would 100% recommend a charter with Freddy and his team, all crew was so welcoming and helpful, the boat was absolutely amazing. We took a 3hr trip and got to see a beautiful sunset in Kits that we will never forget. Would 100% sail again with Freddy.

45ft Mahogany Luxury Yacht - Vancouver, British Columbia
I rented this boat for my 30th birthday. Ended up having 14 of us and it was so much fun! We departed a little late due to the amount of traffic trying to get into granville island but we stayed out a little extra to make up for it. We didn’t get to go out to the open water because the wind was crazy and the water was too rough, but cruising around science world was still nice and the sun was shining! We all had a great time. Thank you!
