40 foot SAILBOAT   |   with SKIPPER   |   near VANCOUVER BC

Brilliant time to see why Vancouver is one of the top cities in the world. 
I can't say enough about how fantastic both Skipper Tony and the sailing experience were. Firstly, I only had four days in Vancouver and wanted to see the highlights of the city but was short on time. I wanted to do something leisurely that also gave me a taste of Canada's natural beautiful scenery. 
Sailing seemed to fit the description and Tony was the best skipper I could have asked for. He was patient in communicating with me over multiple emails, he was willing to work with my tight timeline and he has a great personality. I can't thank him enough for his patience as I was asking many questions and he answered them all one by one.
We sailed in the morning from Gibsons after I took a ferry over from Horseshoe Bay. I felt we were in safe hands for the entire time. We had to end the sailing slightly early and Tony was generous and took us to some local sights so that we didn't have excessive hours waiting for the return ferry trip.
I would certainly do this again when I am next in Vancouver. It is a great way to see the city if you have 6-8 hours for a short day trip out of Vancouver. My family and I had a great time and many wonderful photos to remember the trip.

It's been a little more than two weeks now since we're back home and we’re still grinning from ear to ear going through the photos and videos again and again; everyone agreed that the sailing was the best highlight of the trip! We were so happy that Skipper Tony was able to accommodate us for a 4-hour charter when the 8-hour was not available on the date we requested. We were able to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and our birthdays with a sunset cruise surrounded with endless views of absolutely stunning, picturesque mountains and gorgeous shades of blue sky painted with cotton ball clouds as the bright sun kept playing peek-a-boo. What an amazing time we had aboard  Sailor’s Midnight. She deserves an applause, too! She is absolutely sleek and beautiful, especially when the sun slowly bid farewell and disappeared for the evening, providing a calm golden reflection that bounced off the still water. What a lovely backdrop! What a view! Truly a blessing!
Thank you for making us feel at home! We loved sharing adventure stories with you and learning all about the region over wine and cheese. We laughed, drank and nibbled, laughed, and sang, laughed, and danced, and laughed some more. Truly a memorable experience, one to cherish for years to come! You’ve encouraged us to look forward to retirement! Sail on... until we meet again!

An outstanding birthday for my girlfriend, thanks to Skipper Tony and his boat! It was kept as a surprise for her until the very last minute, and Tony did a great job helping surprise my girlfriend by wishing her a happy birthday as we were randomly strolling along the dock in Gibsons! My girlfriend's surprise and joy was immense when she realized that we were boarding Tony's beautiful 40ft sailboat for four delightful hours! Her best birthday celebration, she said!
Tony is a fantastic guy! A great professional, genuinely kind, personable, and really funny! There were so many memorable moments during this four-hour cruise! Learned the basics of sailing, went swimming as we stopped by Keats Island, saw some wildlife etc... We felt ecstatic the whole time! We loved this day and will remember this experience for the rest of our lives! Big thumbs up!
