Overview

I have been living aboard full time for the past 10 years, sailing the Vancouver waterways for over 45 years. I have raced competitively for 20 of those, have extensive sailing and local knowledge, 12 years experience volunteering as a Coxswain with the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue, have my Marine Advance First Aid Certificate and 4 other transport Canada certifications.

I have a passion for being on the water and love to share the experience with travelers from around the world.

    Chris and Michal were terrific. The weather was gorgeous and we couldn't ask for a better way to explore the waters around Vancouver on a sunny October afternoon!

    This was such a great experience, being out on the water and enjoying the sights of the downtown, Stanley Island, under the Liongate Bridge, and animals such as seals and porpoises. Hosts couldn't be more friendly.

    Wonderful cathartic trip after a 12 hour plane ride the day before. Megan and Chris are charming, knowledgeable hosts and Frederick, the British short-haired cat is fascinating. Would book again in a skinny minute!

    Chris & Michal are very pleasant and informative hosts, and their cat Frederick is so cute. The sailing boat is beautiful and very comfortable. I had a lot of fun on this tour and I've learned a few things about sailing. It was an awesome experience! Thank you Chris & Michal!
