We’ll set sail from the docks in Squamish (about 40 minutes north of Vancouver on the way to Whistler) and hoist the sails as we glide past the iconic Stawamus Chief granite monolith and Shannon Falls.

No matter your skill level, you’ll learn about sailing and feel the thrill as the wind fills our sails and propels our 40’ sailboat across the waters of Canada’s southernmost fjord. Take a turn at the helm or work a winch to trim the sails - the more you participate, the more fun you’ll have.

Squamish - The Land, the Water… The People! - I don’t think you can come to the Sea to Sky Corridor without experiencing being on the waterways. Canadian Coastal Sailing is your ticket to the most fun, interactive sailing initiation in the care of the most skillful, people savvy crew.

What A Blast! - David and Sidney gave an outstanding experience on their sail boat! I was able to have hands involvement and also sit back and enjoy the sail. I absolutely loved the feeling of sailing! It was beautiful in the Sound and gave a new perspective of Squamish. David and Sidney had fun banter and it was a pleasure to speak with them. They gave interesting facts and perspectives, also were a hoot. I highly recommend Canadian Coastal Sailing to everyone!

Unbelievable evening! - What an amazing time we had. I got to sail for almost 30 minutes, and the views were spectacular. Dave and his crew were top notch and entertaining. We enjoyed the shared laughter especially when I mentioned "Lets pretend we are vikings and pillage Squamish". Thanks for a beautiful evening.

Greatest Sailing Adventure with An Amazing Crew - WOW, what can I say but just an amazing adventure with the best crew. My wife and I are celebrating our 10 year anniversary in Vancouver and we are both sailing enthusiasts when we travel. We just sealed with the crew yesterday. David , Michelle and Sydney did the absolute best to make this adventure a memorable one for my wife and myself. They took the time to educate all passengers aboard on sailing and the mechanics that go behind running the boat. Spent a fair amount of time explaining the area in history, and even getting into some of the wild stories they have come across in their time. After 10 minutes of meeting them, you felt like you have known them your entire life. They are just all around amazing and wonderful people with great character and spirit for the trade. We have sailed all around the US and this by far was the greatest experience we have had on any of those adventures. I wish I lived up here in this area, so that I could spend more time with them on the water. Their passion and love for sailing is very rare to find. Can’t thank them enough for the memories. Love this crew!!!

Birthday fun sailing - A few hours of sunset sailing with friends and family was simply fantastic. It was my 60th birthday, and I wanted to do something different. It was the first time on the sailboat for most of my friends, who all enjoyed it. The weather was great, and the area was scenic. We swam before our little dinner and then watched the sunset. The crew was so entertaining, showing a few fun "rituals" with us, which I won't share for not ruining the surprises for others. Thank you again, David, Michelle, and Michael, for making this joyful experience memorable.
