Best in Class 50ft Private Yacht Downtown Vancouver for up to 12 Passengers
My friends and I booked with Rod for Canada Day and it couldn't have been better! Booking was super easy, and Rod was quick and efficient in replying to any questions we had. David and Melissa were the crew for our boat and they were absolutely amazing! They were extremely kind and lots of fun. The boat itself is a great size, and we fit 11 people on it easily, and still had plenty of room.

30ft Luxury Boho Yachtini in Vancouver W/Firepit
We had the best time celebrating my partner’s birthday thanks to our amazing boat captain, Orianna! She was absolutely fantastic, attentive, fun, and just the sweetest energy to be around. She made sure we had everything we needed, kept the vibes high and even found us the perfect spot to swim and float around with inflatables. Orianna really went above and beyond to make the day special, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend! 💛⚓🌊

40ft Luxury Yacht Female Operated for charter in Vancouver, Canada
Our trip with Orianna was literally the best. We booked a bachelorette and she was totally dialled in. She took tons of group shots for us and videos and had the perfect playlist. The boat was a great size for our group of 11 and we could have even had a few more. I will definitely book again!

45ft Yacht with a Professional Photographer | Affordable Luxury
For those that are wondering, Dima and Ana are true professionals through and through. They are true experts in knowing how to create “moments” and that moment came when I proposed to my future wife. The ship is spotless with lots of room for company and or parties, the Captain is well versed in providing a comfortable ride along the waves, and the Photographer brings out the best in everyone and connects so well to get those amazing photos of any experience. I highly recommend to all to not miss the opportunities to create as you work with them. I highly recommend! 10/10 Would come back again.
