BC Skippered Sailing Charters

Take a voyage of
discovery with us

Join us aboard SV Porpoise, our gracious 58 foot classic sailboat. You will experience the wonders of cruising the safe and beautiful waterways of the Inside Passage, one of the most pristine and spectacular places on earth. We have sailed these waters our whole lives and one of our chief enjoyments is sharing with others this special corner of the world.

A cruise on the Porpoise is possibly a once in a life time custom made experience where you not only go sailing but you also explore the terrain, fish, eat the bounties of the land and learn to sail. Our rates are affordable for the average person when you break it down.

We charge for the boat’s time rather than per head. This is comparable to vacationing on a nice cruise ship yet is a custom experience where you can get out to explore nature first hand. We can take up to six people.

The cost includes all food and use of the recreational equipment. The cost of getting to and from the point of departure is not included nor the cost of sail manuals if desired.

It is our goal that our guests are enabled to get to experience a sailing vacation without the costs and pressure of owning and operating their own boat. Let us take you there.
