Wonderful sailing trip. Beautiful, spotless sailboat. Great captain & first mate. Snacks & beverages offered. Lots of interesting conversation and an especially nice touch meeting Frederick the Boat Cat. A great way to spend some time in lovely Vancouver.

Our family of 6 had such a nice afternoon with Chris and Michelle (and Frederick!) on their beautiful sailboat! We lucked into beautiful weather and just the right amount of wind and really enjoyed the whole experience. Chris and Michelle made us feel at home on their boat and were excellent hosts- it felt like sailing with friends. The kids loved having Frederick along for the ride. Highly recommend this experience as another way to see Vancouver when visiting the area!

Enjoyable sailing experience with knowledgeable and helpful hosts. We know Vancouver very well, but Plan B cruise was an informative, casual and relaxing activity that we would do again.

We had a lovely afternoon sail with Chris. Chris was great with sailing teen. A memorable family event.

Special people, special sailing boat.

Marie_K, Aug 2025
One of the highlights of my Vancouver trip was sailing on the Plan B. ⛵ Those two made me feel right at home—like part of their family—welcoming us into their house/sailing boat with such warmth. Conversations flowed so easily, just like with old friends. Frederick, was one of the high light in Plan B, you have to meet it, Thanks you guys for sharing your home and making it such a memorable experience! 💙

Must do!

My teenage son and I had the most amazing time with Michal, Chris, and Frederick today. A few hours of sailing, delicious food and drink, and great memories made. Couldn’t recommend this experience for anyone in the Vancouver area!

Fantastic afternoon trip...

Worth Every Penny! Must do in Vancouver!

Taylor_B, Sep 2024
Worth every penny, such an amazing day on the water. Chris and Michelle are professionals, they know what they are doing. Plus Fredrick the cat! A must do in Vancouver, a great way to spend a few hours and see Vancouver from the water. Easy meetup location from downtown Vancouver. If we ever come back to Vancouver, we’d do this again in a heartbeat.

Great sail

This was an awesome event on the water around Vancouver BC. Chris and Michel were great hosts!!! We had the opportunity to view Stanley Park from the sea side and observe seals, porpoises and birds!

Perfect day. Lovely relaxing sail. We were able to see some seals! Captain Chris was an awesome smooth sailor! Intimate amazing way to see Vancouver by water. We would do it on every trip! We got to see North Vancouver took the sea bus back across the bay. Easy peasy.

Unique and fun sailing experience

Incredible way to see the harbor and get some fresh air. Chris and Michal are fantastic and personable hosts and worked hard to make sure we were all having a great time. Frederick the cat was a highlight for our animal loving girls

Beautiful day on the water

Emily_E, Jul 2024
Chris and Michal (and of course Frederick🐈‍⬛) were great hosts! They knew so much about the area and made us feel so welcome. Their boat was beautiful and we had a beautiful day on the water. A word of advice, though. The seas can be temperamental, I do recommend seasickness meds if you’ve ever felt the slightest bit queasy on a boat before. I wouldn’t hesitate to sail with them again (though they might not want me back).

The couple sailing the...

Dale_B, Jul 2024
The couple sailing the boat was awesome and we had a lot of fun and they were very personable and made us all feel very welcome

Vancouver Views

We had a really great time on this trip. The weather wasn’t the best but we still enjoyed seeing the views of Vancouver. We were also lucky enough to see whales which made it even better.
