All of our tours can be custom tailored to fit your needs
DESTINATION TRIPS
Vancouver Yacht Tours takes guests beyond the harbour to some of the most breathtaking destinations the West Coast has to offer. From the quiet coves of the Gulf Islands to the dramatic peaks of Howe Sound, every destination trip is designed around where you want to go and how you want to get there.
We depart from Granville Island Public Market near the Aquabus – easy parking and perfect for picking up any last-minute items before you set sail. Every trip includes complimentary ice, bottled water, and sugar-free sodas in a large cooler, along with a full kitchen and B.B.Q. with all the essentials. Fuel is included, and your itinerary stays flexible so the day unfolds exactly the way you want it to.
Where We’ll Take You
(All destinations can be combined, shortened, or extended based on your group’s preferences; no two destination trips look the same.)
Bowen Island
Just a short cruise from Vancouver, Howe Sound offers some of the most dramatic scenery on the coast: steep mountains rising straight from the water, quiet anchorages, and the laid-back charm of Bowen Island waiting at the other end.
The Gulf Islands
A full-day escape to the Gulf Islands means calm waters, hidden beaches, and island time at its finest. Whether it’s a relaxed cruise past Bowen, Gambier, or further out toward the Southern Gulf Islands, this trip is built for guests who want to slow down and soak it all in.
Indian Arm
For a shorter, closer-to-home destination trip, Indian Arm delivers glassy water, towering forested cliffs, and a peaceful fjord-like setting just minutes from downtown Vancouver.
Victoria & Vancouver Island
For guests looking for a longer journey, we can tailor a destination trip across the Strait toward Victoria combining open-water cruising with the charm of BC’s capital city.
