Sea to Sky Afternoon Sail

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.

5.00This 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!
Great fun
