ABOUT THIS REGION  SAILING TOURS & CRUISES

Scenic sailing charters on Vancouver Island

Explore the beautiful coast off Vancouver Island on one of these sailing charters into the Gulf Islands. Full day and evening tours are available as a single day option. For the 1 day/1 night tour you will meet in Ladysmith, BC at 3:00 pm, and after a brief safety lesson you will cast off and sail (wind permitting) to Thetis Island, approx. 2 hrs. Your guide will then set the anchor, and guests can use two kayaks, or take the 10' tender with a 4hp, 4 stroke engine and cruise around the island bays. You will enjoy hors d'oeuvres and sit down to a full course dinner served with wine. After dinner you can relax on deck, watch the sun go down or go for a moon light swim. The anchor will be set for the night. In the morning you will enjoy a continental breakfast with hot coffee, tea, or expresso. Around 9:30 am you wil head back to Ladysmith Harbour.

Scenic sailing charters on Vancouver Island

For the 2 day/1 night tour, you will depart Thetis Island on the second day around 12:00 pm and sail for Wallace Island. Marilyn Monroe used to come to Wallace Island to relax when her life was too hectic. This beautiful island is situated between Trincomali Channel and Houston Passage. Jeremiah Chivers settled on Wallace Island after spending some time searching for gold during the Gold Rush Days in the mid to late 1800's. Gulf Island Lore has it that gold may still be buried on Wallace Island".
