Home / About us
Connecting people to Vancouver's waters since 1999
Unforgettable experiences that connect people to the ocean, for first-time sailors, seasoned adventurers and families looking for summer camps.
Who we are
Something for everyone
Our team of passionate, certified instructors makes every lesson safe, fun and tailored to your goals. Based at Jericho Beach, we have the perfect backdrop to explore the freedom and beauty of Vancouver's waterfront.
In addition to sailing, we now offer exclusive yacht tours, so you can experience the elegance of cruising along Vancouver's coastline. Our programs also include cruising, marine ecology, canoeing and beach sports: a complete waterfront adventure.
Through our partnerships with Parks Canada and Ocean Wise, we blend education, sustainability and adventure to inspire a lifelong connection to the ocean.
