42ft Exclusive Luxury Yacht Downtown Vancouver
We had an incredible experience booking with Go Get My Boat on May 10, departing from Science World and cruising through English Bay and around Stanley Park. Captain Freddy was professional, friendly, and made us feel completely at ease from start to finish. The yacht was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped for a relaxing evening on the water. One of the highlights was catching a truly breathtaking sunset—absolutely unforgettable! Whether you’re looking for a relaxing cruise, sightseeing, or just a unique way to enjoy Vancouver from the water, I highly recommend this experience. We’ll definitely be booking again!

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!!!
