Ours are voyages of discovery for those who wish to experience coastal BC… not just see it from a passing liner.

Ever dream of running away to sea? Pack your bags… your curiosity and sense of humour. Nourish your body, mind and spirit as we journey back in time to peace and solitude…to a bygone era less hurried. Welcome aboard our historic coastal classic, the MV Chelsea II.

Explore the Inside Passage from Victoria / Vancouver to the Great Bear Rainforest aboard our 48ft. luxury mothership, in comfort and safety. The Chelsea II, inspected and certified by the Canadian Coast Guard, complies with Canada Steamship Passenger Regulations. Her captain is CSI certified, her crew; experienced and competent.

Our eco-tours began in 1986. Exploring by kayak and ship's tender, fishing, bear and whale watching fill our days. Always mindful of safety and respect for the forces of nature, paddling excursions are planned with guest comfort in mind. The 17 ft. rigid inflatable is the workhorse of our fleet…its 90hp 4-stroke Honda is whisper quiet. Whether fishing, exploring Native cultural sites or picnicking ashore, it is safe, fast and comfortable. A single and three double kayaks are carried aboard.

Voyaging with only a handful of other co-adventurers aboard an historic wooden luxury mothership is unique. It’s an ideal way to experience our pristine and diverse eco systems…among the most beautiful on earth. Our guests, like ourselves, want the beaches and forests beneath their feet, not viewed from the rail of a passing cruise ship.

Princess Louisa Inlet, Desolation Sound, the Gulf Islands, Broughton Archipelago or the Great Bear Rainforest: choose your yacht charter destination. Make our luxury mothership your home as we explore BC’s spectacular coastal wilderness.
