Fun sightseeing & learning about vancouver - I took this boat with my girlfriend and we had an amazing time. Captain Jake was in command of the ship and showed us the surrounding area. Not only that, he was speaking about some of the history of Vancouver, the marine wildlife and the merchant ships that didn't got clearance to dock. It was educational and fun, it lasted more than 1- 1/2 hour so we got our money worth. I strongly recommend any tourist to take this ride. You won't be disappointed.

Must do! - This trip was amazing. Yas was the best captain ever and is very nice and very knowledgeable while creating a safe and memorable experience. Yas captured our trip with her phone and shared those pictures with us to treasure forever. We saw several Eagles, including one on the top of the light house light and another one the marker on the rocky Scholls. One of them may have been B.C.'s own Annie the Eagle. We also saw several seals galumpiming around with each other. So fun. Book the trip & request Yas, as your captain!

see wildlife from the English Bay - We traveled with Thomas on the Zodiac. I had never been on the ocean in such a small vessel, yet felt very safe. Thomas was very competent and knowledgeable. It was a great experience. Thomas introduced us to sea lions and bald eagles and sea birds with stories of their lives and other creatures of the sea.

A fantastic tour that capped off our Vancouver trip on a high note. - Captain Jake was the pleasant and mild-mannered host of our nature boat tour with Sea Vancouver. As this was our last evening in the city and before watching the Celebration of Light Fireworks Show (Portugal), our family had the rare good fortune of going out into the water and through all of that activity in the bay before it occurred. We were also lucky to have absolutely fabulous weather, see everything that there was to see (eagles, seals, mountains, glaciers and West Van mansions) and end our trip on such a high note. It was fun, informative, fairly comprehensive in ninety minutes and well worth the investment of time and cost. My brother and I were glad we talked everyone into going and making memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you.
