What to expect

Not a tour. More like a crew.

01

Real sailing at golden hour

Wind-powered when conditions allow. Take the helm if you like, or sit back and watch the light change.

02

Nine guests at most

Small enough to feel personal, big enough for good company. Not a crowd: a crew.

03

Local knowledge

Stories about the coastline, the city and what lives out here.

Skipper Maren at the helm
The yacht and your skipper

Spacious, stable, and in good hands.

You share Wingaway, a 40 ft Beneteau Oceanis, with a small group of people who wanted to get on the water. The mood is relaxed; the coast does most of the work.

Maren grew up racing dinghies, lived aboard for stretches, and once sailed his family to Mexico. These days he skippers harbour and evening sails, and cruises the Gulf Islands when he isn’t. He knows these waters well enough that the wildlife, the tides and the best evening light are all part of the same conversation.

Coming with a group? Book the whole boat.

A private sail is one price for the whole boat, up to 9 guests, so for bigger groups it can cost less per person than seats, and the boat is all yours.

“Unbelievable experience and best way to see Vancouver. Maren the captain was fantastic, friendly and super knowledgeable. Would highly recommend for both locals and tourists.”

Common questions

Before you sail.

Do I need sailing experience?

No. Your skipper sails the boat, and you’re welcome to take the helm. Just show up.

Will my sail go ahead?

Shared sails run with 4 or more guests. We confirm each sail 48 hours before. If it doesn’t reach 4, we’ll offer you another date, an upgrade to a private sail, or a full refund. Once confirmed, seats sell until 2 hours before departure.

Who else will be on board?

Nine guests at most, usually a mix of visitors, locals and couples. Small enough that you’ll meet everyone.

Can I bring a friend?

Yes. Book several seats on the same departure and you’ll sail together.

What if the weather changes?

We sail in typical coastal weather. If conditions are unsafe, we contact you in advance with options, including a reschedule or a full refund.

Is it suitable for kids?

Yes, for older children comfortable on boats. Ask us about a specific age.

What should I wear?

Bring a warm layer: it can be cool on the water even in summer. A light windproof jacket, flat soft-soled shoes and sunglasses are best.

Something else? Get in touch or call (778) 200-9277.
