Prepare yourself for an adventure that balances the thrill of sailing Howe Sound's legendary winds with the breathtaking views of the Coastal and Tantalus mountain ranges.
We will depart from the docks in Squamish (about 40 minutes north of Vancouver on the highway to Whistler) and raise the sails as we pass beneath the legendary Stawamus Chief granite monolith and Shannon Falls.
Regardless of expertise or ability, you will learn about sailing and experience unbounded excitement as the wind fills our sails and accelerates our 40' sailboat across the waters of Canada's southernmost fjord. Take a turn at the helm or grind a winch to trim sails - the more involved you become, the more fun you will have.
We will explore the northern section of the Howe Sound fjord and promise many photo opportunities that will stand amongst the highlights of your trip.
With a little luck, we may even sight a pod of dolphins or Orcas!
Welcome aboard - let's have some fun.

5.00The last time we sailed was in Cabo, and after sailing in Squamish, I’m not even sure that counted as real sailing anymore. In Squamish, we truly experienced what sailing without using the motor actually means — just the wind, the water, and the boat. It was an absolutely fantastic, once-in-a-lifetime experience that exceeded all our expectations. Of course, none of it would have been possible without David and Kirstie — our amazing crew. Thank you for making this adventure so unforgettable! What made it even more special was the opportunity to learn more about sailing, sailboat navigation, and how everything works out on the water. We’re already looking forward to coming back and doing it again this summer!
Trust me- book it!

5.00What a perfect day!!! 100/10 recommend to anyone wanting to see the Squamish landscape from (in my opinion & yours too after this) the best point of view. David is such a great dude who made our day all the more enjoyable. The fjords, the mountains, the sun— and you’re on a beautiful boat. Bring kids! Bring sunscreen! Bring a camera!
Charisma and humor

5.00Everyone should experience sailing at least once in a lifetime. This is the trip to take. We booked the afternoon sail from Squamish BC. Rebecca and David were wonderful. They shared their knowledge about the area as well as teaching us all about sailing their beautiful boat. No worries about catching a good wind because it is always there!! The experience is perfect for families, couples, or singles. All of the passengers got to take a turn at the captain’s wheel which was exhilarating!!! It is a must if you are visiting Squamish.
Just book it!

5.00This was, without a doubt, the highlight of a week-long road trip. The experience felt like stepping onto a beautiful sailboat with familiar family friends. Being able to help maneuver the boat and having such a hands-on experience really added a lot to the experience. The hosts were incredibly knowledgeable about the surrounding areas and pointed out numerous places of interest. Opportunities for swimming, wildlife spotting, relaxing in the sun, and great conversation really stepped up the overall experience. If you are on the fence about booking, JUST DO IT!
Sailing in the sunshine!

4.00This was hands down one of my favourite experiences of all time! Epic views, salty air and pure sunshine but what made the entire trip was the crew! Ollie and David were sooooo fun and down to earth. My girlfriend and I literally didn’t want to leave the boat! I think I’m ready to invest in a sailboat. This one will be in our memory books forever. 🙌🏽

5.00This was a fantastic experience! David and Oli did everything to make us comfortable while inviting us to participate in the actual sailing. I appreciated them answering questions and informing us about the area. I have visited Squamish for years but to see it from the water is truly special. I would highly recommend this unique experience.
Great fun

5.00David and Becky make you feel like old friends hanging out for a day of sailing. Engaging conversation, sharing local knowledge and a good sense of humor!

5.00A wonderful experience! My partner and I had an amazing time on this sailing adventure, the weather was perfect and we even saw orcas! David and Ollie were wonderful hosts who created a fun and knowledgeable experience. They are also incredibly generous as my partner and I had missed our afternoon sail but were fortunate enough to join the sunset sail thanks to David! I would definitely love to go sailing again!
