Holiday like part time royalty aroundVancouver Island on a Sunsail yacht

Charter a yacht from Vancouver Island and enjoy the adventurous sailing on offer from one of the planet’s best cruising grounds. Explore British Columbia on your own terms and sail the Salish Sea in the company of the region’s spectacular wildlife. The freedom to cruise the waters of British Columbia and Washington State at your own pace—ideal for experienced sailors with a taste for adventure.

  • Adventurous sailing
  • Hike Mount Norman
  • Floral displays of Butchart Gardens
  • Stunning natural beauty and wildlife
  • Explore coves, fjords and marine parks
  • Kayaking, hiking, whale watching, fishing

Warm summer winds, changeable weather and a treasure trove of islands, inlets, fjords and rivers to explore mean Vancouver Island sets sailors’ pulses racing. With stunning panoramic vistas providing the backdrop to a blend of island hopping, coastal exploration and ocean-style cruising on the Salish Sea, the Pacific Northwest ranks among the finest cruising grounds on Earth.

Nature-rich Vancouver Island is home to Sunsail’s Canadian partner base. Rugged Vancouver Island offers fantastic hiking on well-maintained trails, spectacular views, and excellent sport fishing. It's also home to wildlife including wolves, black bears and cougars, while offshore sea otters frolic in beds of kelp, pods of orcas hunt for food and migratory whales pass within sight of shore.

Sail out into the Salish Sea from Vancouver Island to visit the marine parks and secluded anchorages of the Gulf Islands, where whales and dolphins are often spotted. Sail into Desolation Sound for isolated fjords, towering mountains and spectacular wildlife. Head east from Vancouver Island and you’ll reach the USA’s fir-covered San Juan Islands. Warm weather, fresh air, soaring bald eagles and cruising killer whales are the islands’ calling cards.
