Corporate team building on a boat in Vancouver

A day on the water takes a team out of the office and into something they'll share for years. In Vancouver it can be a few hours after a conference, a full team day, or an evening with clients — on a private boat with a local captain.

Tell us your group size, the date and what the day is for. A person on our team plans it with you — which boat, where you leave from, food and drinks on board, and anything else your group needs — and stays your one contact until the day is done.

Boats range from smaller boats for a leadership team to yachts that take a larger group. Each boat's page says how many it takes.

For your company

  • Private boats for your group, with a local captain
  • Shaped around your day — we plan it with you
  • One person on our team, start to finish
  • Tell us what paperwork your company needs, and we'll sort it before your day is confirmed

Almost any day on the water here can be booked by the seat or as a whole boat — and we can arrange food, stays and anything else around it, so you have as little to sort out as possible. If you don't see what you want, ask: a person replies, and we'll find a way.

Questions people ask

How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer and holiday-season dates. Tell us your date and we'll tell you what's open.
Can we bring our own food or a caterer?
Often yes on a private boat. Tell us when you ask and we'll confirm it with the boat.
