Summer Fun Charters & Tours
Enjoy fabulous sightseeing and nature tours. We cruise the waters of the Salish Sea from Parksville to Qualicum, Hornby Island, and Nanaimo. Sunset cruises are spectacular and are a specialty. Also, we can design a custom tour for your party. See marine wildlife including seals, sea lions, eagles, and many other birds that frequent our area. See a lighthouse from the water up close. Occasionally we see orcas and humpback whales. And you may see cruise ships or navy ships as they practice in the Whiskey Golf test range. Don’t forget your camera! In the Salish Sea we cruise to some Northern Gulf Islands and when possible dock and enjoy a meal, included in the price! All this on our 26-foot Striper Transport Canada registered boat. Your host is Tony Pisto who was born on Vancouver Island and has been boating for more than 40 years.
