Sea to Sky to City
Over thirteen days, discover British Columbia’s peaks, waters, and cityscapes. Begin in Whistler at a private alpine estate, where hikes, biking, a via ferrata, and an ice cave tour await. Continue by seaplane to Desolation Sound for days of yachting, kayaking, and paddleboarding in secluded coves. End in Vancouver with a skyline suite, a cycling tour through Stanley Park, Granville Island tastings, and evenings of world-class dining.
Please note: This pricing is based on the assumption that the yacht is already positioned in Desolation Sound. Depending on your preferred travel dates, embarkation location, and the vessel’s location at the time of booking, additional relocation fees may apply.
Other potential cruising grounds include the serene Southern Gulf Islands, where you might explore Saturna and Galiano — weaving between sheltered coves and quiet inlets. Drop crab pots, cast for salmon, or take a morning yoga session on deck before golfing oceanside or sipping local wines. Active Pass offers a scenic channel for seadoos and tender rides. Alternatively, cruise the Sunshine Coast toward Pender Harbour or the dramatic Princess Louisa Inlet, where waterfalls tumble down granite cliffs and forested peaks rise all around. Each route offers a distinct West Coast flavour — from culinary experiences and marine wildlife to remote anchorages and breathtaking coastal scenery.
