Vancouver, nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Coast Mountains, presents an incredibly diverse sailing environment. Here, tranquil inlets and bustling harbours meet towering peaks and verdant forests. This unique blend of landscapes results in a series of sheltered waterways that are perfect for both beginner sailors and experienced mariners.

The city’s location on the Strait of Georgia offers quick access to a wealth of sailing spots. Discover the rich ecosystems of the Gulf Islands, navigate around the bustling Vancouver Harbour, or venture out towards the serene waters of the Sunshine Coast. Each journey presents unique opportunities for wildlife viewing, with sightings of seals, dolphins, and occasionally, majestic whales.

Vancouver also offers a year-round sailing season. While the summer brings extended daylight hours and comfortable cruising conditions, winter sailing presents its own unique charm, with snow-capped mountains and serene, less crowded waterways.

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Vancouver

Whether you are a seasoned sailor or a novice enthusiast, Yachting.Rent offers a fleet of yachts to cater to your unique sailing needs in Vancouver, British Columbia. Our range of vessels includes the classic sailing boat and the versatile catamaran. However, the choice between the two depends on your specific sailing preferences, group size, and intended journey.

Sailing boats, synonymous with traditional seafaring, provide an authentic sailing experience. They are perfect for smaller groups or couples seeking a more intimate experience. Navigate the intricate waterways of Vancouver with the wind as your guide, discover hidden coves, or drop anchor in remote bays for a serene picnic. Their deep hulls make them an excellent choice for open sea exploration and extended cruises.

On the other hand, our catamarans, with their twin hull design, offer stability, comfort, and speed. They are ideal for larger groups or families due to their spacious decks and generous living spaces. Catamarans also boast shallow drafts, allowing you to access shallow waters and secluded beaches that are out of reach for larger vessels. If your journey involves island hopping, a day out on the waves, or simply lounging in the sun with a picturesque view, a catamaran is an excellent choice.

At Yachting.Rent, we understand that every sailor has unique needs. That’s why our team of sailing experts is ready to assist you in choosing the perfect vessel for your adventure. We pride ourselves on our comprehensive knowledge of both sailing boats and catamarans, ensuring your voyage in Vancouver, British Columbia, is an unforgettable experience.

Remember, no matter your choice, be it the classic charm of a sailing boat or the modern comfort of a catamaran, the majesty of Vancouver’s waters awaits you. Embark on your sailing adventure with Yachting.Rent today. The city’s natural splendour, vibrant culture, and rich maritime heritage make every journey an exciting exploration. Sail away with us into the heart of the Pacific Northwest.

Sailing Reviews in Vancouver

Chris and Michelle were fantastic hosts aboard their boat. We had a group of nine, including a baby and it was the perfect way to spend an afternoon in Vancouver. We got to see incredible views of the city during a peaceful sail and enjoyed the company that Chris, Michelle and Frederick (the cat) provided. Strongly recommend and would book with them again.

September, 2022

My fiancée and I had a wonderful time on our recent voyage! The crew were very friendly and accommodating and even helped us with a last minute schedule change due to weather. We enjoyed learning a bit about sailing and can't wait to see all the photos they took for us!

We had the most beautiful day at sea for my boyfriend’s birthday surprise. Every detail was taken care of, and we appreciate all the magic moments the Captain provided throughout this special time. Thank you to the whole team for an unforgettable experience and we will be back again for sure! Lots of love from P&J

September, 2021

We could not have had a better time on our voyage. The Captain was incredibly friendly, very easygoing, and made the trip so comfortable. He was great at reading when we wanted to be alone just the two of us (it was our wedding anniversary), or when to step in and share some fun info about sailing or help us better enjoy ourselves. He even snapped some gorgeous photos of us, taught us about sailing, kept bringing drinks & snacks and was so accommodating when my husband spilled wine all over my shirt 😂 I already have and will continue to recommend this vessel & captain to everyone I know. They also accommodated a very last minute change of dates, which I could not have been more grateful for. 10/10!

The experience we had sailing was like no other. We had high expectations going into it, and our expectations where exceeded! The captain was super nice and helped us explore Vancouver for the first time. There is no better way to discover Vancouver in my opinion. 10/10 would highly recommend

August, 2021

The Captain & Crew provided an amazing sailing experience to make my proposal to my fiancé special and memorable. They connected with me promptly to provide suggestions, and options fir the trip and supported me all the way through with the coordinating catering, flowers, photography and capturing the moment. Even learned a bit about sailing. Thank you so much for making this moment in life unforgettable 💍❤️❤️ 👌🙏🙏🙏

This is truly an experience I would not want to miss!”

Boaters' safety concerns raised after Vancouver seaplane collision

2 people were hospitalized after saturday collision in coal harbour, which involved a harbour air plane.

Seaplane crashes into boat in Vancouver's Coal Harbour

Social sharing.

After multiple people were injured following a collision between a seaplane and a pleasure boat on Saturday, boaters are sharing tips on how to stay safe on Vancouver's waters.

Two people were hospitalized after a Harbour Air seaplane taking off from the nearby Harbour Flight Centre hit a boat  near Stanley Park on Saturday afternoon.

Canada's Transportation Safety Board (TSB) is investigating the collision. The plane's five passengers and pilot were not hurt, but people on the pleasure boat suffered injuries.

The crash has sparked calls for more safety measures in and around Burrard Inlet where the collision occurred, which sees thousands of recreational boaters every summer but also serves as the route for commercial vessels, tugboats and cruise ships. 

The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority is responsible for monitoring ship traffic in the inlet. Its harbour master, Sean Baxter, said anyone going out on the water should check the port's website ahead of time to see what areas they're allowed to access.

"It's important that recreational vessels look and watch out for larger vessels, as well as seaplanes," he said. "These types of port users have limited visibility, so don't assume that they can see you.

"We encourage everyone to listen, including listening for aircraft ... planes landing and taking off need plenty of space."

Who has the right of way?

While the TSB is investigating the exact cause of Saturday's crash, it has led to questions over which vessel has the right of way on the water.

• 2 hospitalized after seaplane goes down in Vancouver: officials

Ian Gilson, director of the Canadian Safe Boating Council, says it comes down to which vessel is more maneuverable.

"The vessel that is least maneuverable is the one that has the right of way," he told Michelle Eliot, host of CBC's  BC Today . "When a floatplane is either landing or taking off, it cannot change its course.

"So any other objects on the water have the responsibility to give way and to stay well clear."

Floatplane or boat: Which has the right of way in Burrard Inlet?

Statistics Canada says almost 6.5 million boating trips were taken between July and September 2021, with Gilson estimating that more than 16 million recreational boating trips are taken each year.

He says that people looking to hit the waters this summer should be mindful of boating safety tips , including wearing a life jacket, as ship traffic increases in and around Vancouver.

Calls for more buoys

Daniel and Candice Hecjman said they had close encounters with two different seaplanes while sailing in Coal Harbour in February 2019.

The couple is calling for more buoys and lights in Burrard Inlet to warn boaters to avoid areas where seaplanes can land.

"If the planes knew exactly where they're supposed to take off and land, then boaters will never go in that zone," Daniel said.

In response to a question about adding more buoys, a spokesperson for the port authority said that it regularly publishes procedures in its port information guide to ensure safety on the waterways.

"Since an active investigation of the incident is currently underway by the [TSB], we will await to receive the outcomes of their findings to determine if any of our procedures need to be updated," the spokesperson wrote.

No licence needed for rentals

Bruce Hayne, the executive director of Boating B.C., says that anyone new to boating should stick to less-populated areas to ensure safety.

"It's just like when you first get your [driving] licence, you probably don't want to hop onto the highway and get into heavy traffic," he said. "You want to start slowly and get comfortable with your vessel."

• Safe Boating Awareness Week aims to keep boaters safe all season

Hayne pointed out that in B.C., residents do not require a pleasure craft operator card if they are simply renting a pleasure boat—although he says there are discussions about changing that.

However, he says boat rental companies must provide safety checklists and demonstrations when renting boats, which should help new boaters operate safely.

Shortly before a collision involving a float plane on Saturday in Vancouver’s Coal Harbour, a tower controller called attention to a westbound pleasure boat approaching the northern end of the takeoff zone, according to an audio recording of communications with the pilot.

“Caution for the westbound boat … takeoff northwest at your discretion,” a controller can be heard saying.

In the aftermath, controllers worked to divert planes away from the area due to an “incident in the harbour.”

“I’m on the phone with everybody right now. If you want to land somewhere else or go to YVR, that is possible,” one controller said.

The Harbour Air float plane collided with the pleasure boat just before 1 p.m., the first such collision in Vancouver’s harbour in a quarter century, according to a database of investigations from the Transportation Safety Board of Canada.

Single-engine float planes, particularly the Beaver involved in this crash, have very poor forward visibility for pilots during much of their takeoff run.

In 1999, a boat carrying two tourists was struck by a float plane arriving from Victoria as it tried to land. The tourists were injured and one was hospitalized with broken ribs and a collapsed lung. No plane passengers were injured.

In Saturday’s incident, Vancouver Fire Rescue Services said two people on the boat were hospitalized, but no further details on their condition were provided.

Harbour Air said there were five passengers on the plane.

“Upon takeoff, while operating a scenic tour with five passengers on board, our aircraft came into contact with a boat. All five passengers on the aircraft and the pilot are uninjured and safe,” the company’s statement read.

Both Saturday’s collision and the one in 1999 occurred in a similar area of the harbour, in the waters between Canada Place and Stanley Park. The area, referred to as “Area Alpha,” is one of three designated takeoff and landing zones for seaplanes around Vancouver and the only one in Vancouver Harbour.

Area Alpha is “absolutely” the busiest of the three zones, said Randy Hanna, founder of Nanaimo-based Pacific Seaplanes .

Though boaters are legally permitted to go within the takeoff and landing zone, port authorities ask boaters to keep clear because of the heightened risk associated with aircraft traffic, said Sean Baxter, acting director of marine operations at the Port of Vancouver.

“The most advisable course of action is to avoid this area altogether,” he said.

A buoy outside the plane terminal marks the southwest corner of Area Alpha, but there are no formal visual markers on the water, Baxter said.

He said the area is clearly marked on navigation charts, which are available from a variety of sources. Knowing how to read charts is a required part of obtaining a boating licence in Canada, though Baxter noted that Transport Canada allows exceptions to this rule for tourists from outside of Canada, who are allowed to rent boats with only a safety briefing.

There are between 60,000 and 70,000 takeoffs and landings each year in Vancouver Harbour and another 25,000 to 30,000 aircraft enter the airspace, according to a 2019 article on Harbour Air’s website .

In the 1999 collision, the float plane pilot had received clearance to land from the control tower, which is located at the top of a 40-storey building at the foot of Granville Street. The control room has a 360-degree view and is 141 metres above sea level, making it the highest air traffic control room in the world.

Despite this, the single controller who was working during the 1999 crash did not see the boat when scanning the area before clearing the plane for landing.

“Lighting contrast around Canada Place (areas of shadow and bright sunlight) may have degraded his ability to distinguish the boat,” the TSB report read. “It is also possible that the boat was shielded from his field of view by the stern of the large cruise ship moored at Canada Place.”

These days, the control tower is typically staffed by four controllers during the summer’s busiest days, according to Harbour Air’s website.

Hanna, who has flown planes in and out of Vancouver Harbour “thousands” of times, said he was confident today’s controllers were highly experienced and well-trained.

Hanna said when it comes to boat and other marine vessels — which include float planes until they take flight — collision regulations clearly state that “when something is on your right, you give way.“

Nav Canada, a private not-for-profit corporation, operates Canada’s air-traffic control system and is “responsible for safe co-ordination and the efficient movement of aircraft … including flight paths and airways used by airlines,” according to its website .

Vanessa Adams, Nav Canada’s manager of government and media relations, refused Sunday to answer Postmedia’s questions about how traffic is managed between boats and planes in the harbour.

A spokesperson from the Transportation Safety Board said it is “too early to say what the causal and contributing factors are,” but its investigators were on the scene Sunday and have begun interviewing witnesses.

Both the boat and the plane involved in the crash have been recovered, the spokesperson said.

The only other B.C.-based collision in the database involving boats and planes happened in 2021 when an aircraft operated by Tofino Air collided with a water taxi in Tofino Harbour.

Within 2½ minutes of the collision, the plane “was inverted with just the floats above the surface of the water,” the report read .

Five passengers and the pilot escaped safely from the plane. All six, along with one passenger on the water taxi, suffered minor injuries.

Baxter said it was important for people to to be aware that the waters of the harbour are extremely busy, with narrow channels, strong currents, commercial boating traffic and thousands of seaplanes movements every year.

“Everyone should use caution when travelling through these areas,” he said.
