Sea to Sky Afternoon Sail
Overview

Mobile ticket
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.

5.00Would highly recommend this excursion. I travel alone with my young son and our guides made this the highlight of his trip (also making it the highlight of mine). The views are stunning, even if no wildlife are spotted and the boat is clean and comfortable. Worth every penny.
Sailing Squamish was stunning!

5.00Breathtaking scenery and a beautiful afternoon sail. David and Ollie were such great hosts keeping us all comfortable and entertained. We had 3 people who had never sailed and I’m sure are now hooked. Thank you! It was truly a sea to sky day.
