Welcome aboard!

Avoid the crowds and enjoy the complete control of a private sailboat charter.

Located at the tip of British Columbia’s southern-most fjord and a short distance from Vancouver and Whistler, we are humbled by the number of panoramic mountain vistas, glaciers, waterfalls, marine-life and shorelines to explore. This geography combined with predictable steady winds and sheltered waters makes Squamish one of the best places in the world to experience a private sailing charter.

It’s a privilege to be part of your special occasion and we are eager to customize an unforgettable afternoon or evening for your girls' getaway, wedding anniversary, or family gathering. Our team will help design a fabulous day on the water that is guaranteed to create life-long memories for you and your crew.

It’s difficult to improve on perfection, but time on the water can work up an appetite. Add a catered or self-catered meal to your private sailboat tour and become a hero to your friends and colleagues.

Our sailing adventures are the perfect solution for multi-generational families and groups that desire varied levels of activity and participation. Friends and colleagues who prefer a hands-on experience can join our crew to sail the vessel, and those appreciating luxury are invited to lay back, enjoy the scenery and encourage others to do the work!

We look forward to having you aboard!

What's Included

Safety equipment.

Your safety is important to us! We follow Transport Canada regulations and have everything needed for guests of all ages, shapes and sizes to enjoy a safe and fun sail.

Vessel and Crew

Your group will enjoy the exclusive use of our 40' sailboat and two well trained, talented and good humoured crew members.

What to Bring

Feel free to bring along anything that you may want to enjoy while underway, such as snacks, meals or water, but avoid breakable glass and single use plastics whenever possible, please.

Summer is a beautiful time in BC, but weather can always be variable. It’s a good idea to check the forecast and dress accordingly, noting that it can be a few degrees cooler on the water. We have lots of room on board, so pack a bag with extra layers for warmth and wind/rain protection.

Don’t forget the sunscreen! The sun’s rays are reflected by the water, so a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen are highly recommended, even on an overcast day.

Please wear soft soled non-marking shoes while on-board (like tennis or skate shoes). Boots, shoes with heavy soles and heels can cause damage, are a safety hazard, and are therefore not allowed.

Finally, bring along your friends, your camera, your favourite playlist and a great sense of humour!

Vancouver 27

Vancouver 27 is a 27 ′ 0 ″ / 8.2 m monohull sailboat designed by Robert B. Harris and built by Tradewind Yachts, Seair Marine Ltd (British Columbia, Canada), Philbrook's Boatyard, Pheon Yachts Ltd., and Northshore Yachts starting in 1972.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

From BlueWaterBoats.org :

The first in the Vancouver Yacht series, the Vancouver 27 is a ‘go anywhere’ pocket cruiser designed by Canadian Robert Harris in 1972. This sturdy 27-foot cutter was squarely aimed for couples looking to sail the world’s oceans. Purpose built for exactly this purpose, the first boat sailed successfully from British Columbia to New Zealand and back. The solid good-looking design attracted enough attention that molds were made from the second boat built. Various versions went on to be produced in Canada and in England and more than 250 have been built in total including the extended 28 foot version, the Vancouver 28, which is still being made in England today. Canadian production ended when the molds were destroyed by a storm in 1988.

Though small and relatively heavy, she’s uncompromising with few concessions to speed and performance. Under the waterline there’s a full keel with a cutaway forefoot which gives her a stable helm and good balance on all points of sail. In the UK the design was tweaked by adding three inches to the beam at the waterline to stiffen her up, the result being a pronounced tumblehome in the hull which the Canadian boats don’t have.

In breaking seas her high freeboard, neat cockpit and built in bridge deck help prevent water below. Her propeller and rudder are protected from grounding and fouling damage by the set-up of her keel, skeg and stern-post. Lots of headroom, plenty of stowage space and ease of handling are characteristic. As would be expected by the design she’s not fast nor particularly close winded but she’s easy to handle in all conditions and ideal for a short-handed crew. English sailor Rona House can testify to this having completed a solo circumnavigation in her Vancouver 27. The cutter rig gives maximum sail plan versatility and the outboard rudder allows for use of self-steering mechanisms that are a cruiser’s best friend on long passages. Experience has shown that her traditional hull design copes easily with the rigors of offshore passages, even when chock full of cruising gear.

Inside the Vancouver 27 is a sensible small-boat layout just made for a couple at sea with three berths being the norm, although a four berth layout was also available. The three berth version has no berth forward but instead has the third berth aft in the saloon leaving plenty room for stowage up front as well as space for a generously sized quarter berth, galley and chart table. 6′ 6″ of headroom heads up the comfort factor inside.

Buyer’s Notes

The majority of boats are to be found in the UK although some can still be found in North America.  New boat prices can be obtained from Northshore yachts and a current search of the used boat market reveals prices for these boats between 12,200 – 26,600 Pounds Sterling or 19,500- 41,500 Canadian dollars depending on age and condition. Although no major problems have been discovered, the heel of the rudder is one weak point that needs careful inspection.

Five of the Best Boats to Book on Airbnb in Vancouver

We highlight some of the best boats you can book and stay in through Airbnb in the city of Vancouver.

With thousands of choices for short term rentals in Vancouver you may have overlooked a fun and relaxing option, a boat. We’re highlighting some of the best and most charming boat stays for your next visit to Vancouver. From luxurious private rooms and cruises on Coal Harbour’s waters to more rustic stays on a classic tug boat, if you’ve been looking to spend a night on the water then this list is for you. 

Classic 1940 Tug Boat Experience

$164 per night.

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/37815105

This 1948 tug boat used to tow logs across the water but has now been repurposed into an adorable Airbnb stay. When booking you’ll have the entire tug boat to yourself, which has a cosy downstairs living space with a sofa that turns into a queen-sized bed along with a full kitchen and table. On the rooftop deck of the boat, there is a barbeque and a hot tub to relax and soak in the gorgeous views of downtown Vancouver . 

This beautiful 1940’s tug boat is located in False Creek right near Granville Island, and when you book this boat you’ll be picked up and dropped off in a shuttle boat from Granville Island. Guests will also have access to a dinghy for complete independence to get back to shore. While this boat has essentials and amenities like heating and cooking materials, it doesn’t have wifi, so be sure to bring some old school entertainment for when you’re out on the water!

Sailboat Experience with Downtown Vancouver View

$178 per night.

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/37463793

Anchored in False Creek right by downtown Vancouver and Granville Island, this 43 foot sailboat built in France offers a gorgeous stay on the water for up to six guests. With two bedrooms equipped with a queen sized and double bed, the spacious sailboat also has two bathrooms and a fully functional kitchen with a refrigerator. Guests also have access to an outdoor barbeque grill on the top of the boat, where they can relax and enjoy the tranquility of the water around them.

Guests will have free pickup and drop-off to the boat from any public dock, and can choose between various anchoring locations for free or be docked at Granville Island Marine for an additional fee. Keep in mind that while there is power on board, it shouldn’t be used for much more than the boat’s lighting, charging phones and laptops, and powering an indoor or outdoor stereo system. Along with this, the sailboat doesn’t have central heating or wifi, so be sure to bring an extra layer and book to enjoy for when you’re out on the water.

Vancouver Lazy River Retreat

$109 per night.

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/39108160

One of the great things about this stay is the private dock, allowing easy access to local hiking trails. Kayaks are provided to paddle around the Fraser River if your feeling adventurous. This boat stay also comes with the luxury of wifi, so you can still Netflix and chill, while relaxing on the water.

$76 per night.

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/37326164

Located in False Creek by downtown Vancouver, this cosy sailboat gives yourself and 3 guests a comfortable stay on the water and under the stars. The gorgeous space indoors has a wood stove so you can warm up in case it starts to get a bit chilly at sea. Along with the wood stove, guests have access to a barbeque right by the outdoor cockpit, so they can cook something up something to eat while they enjoy the beautiful views of downtown Vancouver and Granville Island.

The boat is anchored, so your inner viking will be required to row a dinghy for about five minutes to get to the boat. The Solar-powered boat let’s you keep your phone powered along with any other devices you need to charge or power. There is a stove but no fridge, so you have to plan on frequent trips on the dinghy to replenish perishables.

How Much Does an Alaska Cruise Cost in 2024?

I f you're planning a cruise to Alaska this year, you may be enticed by low prices (in the hundreds) for a weeklong cruise. However, it's important to know that those fares are just the beginning of the cost for the entire trip.

Typically, the lowest advertised prices with mainstream cruise lines don't include taxes and port fees, specialty dining costs, alcoholic or nonalcoholic drinks, shore excursions , Wi-Fi access, gratuities and other expenses. On top of that, bargain fares usually refer to inside cabins with no windows. In a picturesque, bucket list destination like Alaska, you will realistically want a room with a private balcony so you can take in the spectacular scenery from the comfort of your room.

When to cruise to Alaska depends on what you're interested in seeing and doing during your vacation , but summer is typically the best time to visit The Great Land. Between mid-May and mid-July, you can experience 24 hours of daylight. This period is also an optimal time for wildlife viewing; you can see bears feasting on salmon, humpback whales and orcas, furry baby moose and thousands of nesting bald eagles. Cruise lines often reserve their lowest prices for sailings early or late in the Alaska cruising season , but it's still possible to find deals in the middle of the summer.

With all of this in mind, we've listed both the lowest interior cabin fares and the average total costs for a balcony stateroom across eight popular cruise lines for weeklong itineraries in June 2024. (Note: All fares quoted are per person, double occupancy, unless otherwise noted. Prices were accurate at the time of writing.)

This June, Holland America 's lowest-priced itinerary is the 7-Day Glacier Discovery Southbound voyage departing from Whittier, Alaska, on June 23, 2024, aboard Nieuw Amsterdam . The voyage features scenic cruising in Hubbard Glacier, Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve and the Inside Passage. You'll also stop in the Alaska towns of Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan, before disembarking in Vancouver, British Columbia . The starting price is $409 per person for an inside cabin, and veranda staterooms start at $2,114 per person (cruise-only fare).

For this sailing, there is a $291 charge per person for taxes, fees and port expenses. Specialty dining, alcoholic drinks (and many nonalcoholic beverages, such as bottled water and specialty coffees), excursions, Wi-Fi access, gratuities and some other amenities cost extra.

Instead of paying for these extras individually, you can book Holland America's "Have It All" package.

For a limited time, you can also receive a $200 onboard credit per stateroom. A veranda stateroom plus the package starts at $2,569 per person.

If you purchase the "Have It All" package with the veranda stateroom, select the location of your cabin yourself (an additional $90), add in the port taxes and fees ($291) and include crew gratuities at $17 per guest, per day for non-suite staterooms ($119), the total cost is about $3,000 per person.

Bottom line

The low base fares for Alaska cruises on larger cruise lines may grab your attention, but as you click through to see what's included and make your booking, you'll find additional costs on nearly every page.

Before making a reservation, be sure to read the fine print and find out exactly what's included (and not included) in your cruise fare.
