Escape to the open waters of Vancouver on a sailing adventure that offers the best of the city’s scenic vistas. This 2.5-3 hour sailing experience takes you through the picturesque False Creek and English Bay, where you’ll be able to take in the views of the city skyline, mountains, and waterfront landmarks.
This is more than just a sightseeing cruise — it’s an authentic West Coast sailing experience led by someone who’s truly at home on the water and teaches you the ropes.
If you’re an adventurer at heart, this sailing journey blends discovery with relaxation, entertainment, and flavours. With a little luck, we may even sight the Dall’s porpoise or a pod of Orcas!
