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.

Breathtaking 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.

Great experience, highly recommend. Captain and crew were professional and gracious hosts. Among the three, not one glance at their phones in three hours, how rare is that? Scenery is amazing.
Perfect day

This is the best Viator tour we have ever done. So glad we chose this outing. David and Rebecca are perfect hosts- hospitable, funny, witty and welcoming. The scenery is incredible the boat is stunning and we enjoyed “learning the ropes” a little bit. This is level 1 fun for sure and would highly recommend this experience if you love the worlds best landscapes and the freedom of the wind in your sails and hair!
