DAY SAILS
Sailing. Have you ever wondered what the fascination is all about? Here is your chance! Our vessels are 35 to 38 foot luxury sailboats. You can choose a half-day or a full-day sail. Previous sailing experience is not a requirement.
You can participate fully in all aspects of sailing and even take command at the helm. You will be introduced to basic sailing skills and safety at sea. Your skipper, is a Certified Cruising Instructor with Sail Canada.
Before each departure we spend a half hour or so familiarizing everyone with the safety features and basic operation of the boat, including emergency procedures. We also introduce you to area charts which allows us to plan our trip and discuss sailing options. Our “hands-on” approach will have you sailing sooner than you think.
PRICING
You can choose between an Individual Sign Up (booking per person) and an Exclusive Charter. If you sign up as individuals, we will try to find others to go with you. If you sign up as an Exclusive Charter then you and your group will have the whole boat and the instructor to yourself.

HALF-DAY AND FULL-DAY SAILS
Sailing Adventures are set amongst the scenic Gulf islands.
Half-Day Sails (3 hours) typically run between 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM or from 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM.
Having a full day allows extra time for lunch and refreshments while anchored in a secluded cove among the islands. If you desire, we can go ashore to hike and explore.
Full-Day Sails will typically go from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
WHAT TO BRING
The clothing you choose will be dependent on the weather for that day. Remember that it can be cooler on the water than it is on land. Bring an extra layer that should include a windbreaker of some kind. Be sure to have deck shoes or runners, preferably with a non-marking sole. There is a warm, comfortable cabin and protection in the cockpit under a dodger and bimini. Sunglasses, sunhat and sunscreen are a must on bright days. If you are coming for the full day, bring a lunch.
We supply life jackets, non-alcoholic refreshments and a friendly skipper.
The Vessel
Your sailing vessel is classified as a performance cruiser. She is spacious, comfortable and very stable. All sails are self-furling with all the controls leading back to the cockpit which make her fun and easy to sail.
The cockpit is protected by a dodger over the companionway and the “Bimini” offers overhead protection for the person at the helm.
WHO IS IT FOR?
No matter who you “arrr”, you’ll enjoy sailing with Blackfish Sailing Adventures!
Note: we cannot carry this many at one time and firearms are not allowed on board. (This was a really troublesome bunch)
