Hello! As a Vancouver native, I'm excited to offer you a unique and premium opportunity to experience my beautiful city from the water. I bring an authentic and deep understanding of our local waterways, honed not only here at home but also from my time operating international charter tours in Malta. My charter business is my full-time passion, which means I have great flexibility to create the perfect private tour for your schedule. My operation is fully licensed and professional, ensuring your safety and comfort are my top priorities. The centerpiece of my service is my classic 1962 Monk McQueen motor yacht. This beautifully refurbished 40-foot vessel is licensed for up to 12 passengers and comes fully equipped with amenities like a kitchen and bathroom to make you feel right at home during our excursion. I offer a variety of private tour themes, all with a minimum duration of four hours. We can embark on a sightseeing journey to admire the city's impressive skyline from a new perspective, take an immersive nature tour up our stunning local fjords to seek out wildlife, or even try our hands at a fun marine adventure like crabbing. I provide all the necessary licenses! On every trip, I will be your personal captain, accompanied by a first mate to ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience. While I don't offer hotel pick-ups, I provide convenient meeting points at public wharves, including one right next to the Cactus Club, which is ideal for anyone arriving on a cruise ship. I look forward to welcoming you aboard!

Your Vancouver tour itinerary

Start your day with hotel pickup in downtown Vancouver, then head straight to the water. We will depart from Granville Island and set our crab traps in the waters near Spanish Bank or Stanley Park. While the traps soak, you’ll cruise toward the productive fishing grounds off the coastline of West Vancouver towards Bowen Island. We'll drop our fishing lines and leisurely troll for multiple salmon species for approximately two and a half hours. We will then store our fishing gear and go and retrieve our crab pots. If you like the harvested seafood and be cleaned and prepared onboard for a fresh meal.
