Sunset Sailing Cruise Through Vancouver's Harbour, Small Group

Vancouver's harbour and the open bays beyond it, crossed under sail as the day winds down and the light turns gold. No more than eight guests come aboard, which keeps the mood unhurried; an experienced skipper offers light narration while Stanley Park and the North Shore Mountains slide past in the fading sun. Sailing experience counts for nothing here — the trip suits every age and skill level. Light refreshments are provided, and guests are welcome to bring extra food and drinks of their own. Departures leave from the Jericho Sailing Centre, and a private charter can be arranged instead of the shared sailing. Couples marking an occasion, photographers and visitors after a quiet break from the city all fit the format.
