The island has a stunning topography to explore consisting of mountain ranges and natural forests. The Golden Hinde Mountain stands at 2,195 meters above sea level and it is one of the highest elevations in Canada. From your Vancouver Island yacht you can enjoy a fantastic view of the inlets, fjords and deep bays teeming with wildlife.

Apart from the deep blue seas and the mountainous regions you can also include a visit to the popular Red Cedar, Garry Oak, Manzanita and Douglas Fir forests in your Vancouver Island yacht charter itinerary. These dense forests are normally located in the less cold regions situated in the central, western and northern sides of the island. In these lush green forests you will be able to see some of the most unique species such as Roosevelt, Elk and Marmot. From aboard your Vancouver Island yacht you will be able to see various fish species such as trout, salmon and steelhead.

At Borrow A Boat we're on a mission to make boating more accessible and to make it easier for you to get on the water. We believe boating should be available to everyone, and we can help the boating industry, boat owners, marinas, and everyone who wants to go boating by providing a 21st-century boating marketplace. Borrow A Boat is the best place to find and rent boats of all sorts, from a canal and riverboat across Europe to a sailing boat, motorboat, catamaran across North America, the Mediterranean, Caribbean and further afield, along with some of the world's most impressive superyachts and luxury yacht charters.

Boats or Yachts Available For Rent Or Charter In Vancouver Island

Where it comes to chartering or renting boats in Vancouver Island below is a list of the typical types of boats that you can hire on Borrow A Boat with a description of the boat type. If you can't find the individual boat charter you are looking for when you do a search in [location name] it's worthwhile searching nearby locations as your chosen boat type might be available nearby.

When searching a geographical area on Borrow A Boat you can filter by the below boat types. There is also the option to further filter your searches by price, the number of guests, cabins or bathrooms, what year the boat or sailing yacht was launched, the boat length and the boat manufacturer.

Sailboat: From €120/£100/$135 a day up to whatever you can afford, monohull sailing yachts are fun to sail at all points of the wind and an affordable way to get around if your island hopping or finding your own secluded coves or sandy beaches along with longer cruises. Sizes range from those for a couple or small family to a full sized luxury charter yacht.

Catamaran: Luxury catamarans are stable and spacious, with quick sailing performance, and have been gaining in popularity in recent years. Better for larger groups, they have lots of room for water toys, and are big enough for a little privacy. A catamaran charter is easy and comfortable for novices not used to heeling and are loved by families due to their extra space when compared to a monohull. Typically far more luxurious than a sailboat the larger catamarans have en suite toilets and showers in the staterooms as well as ample entertaining space in the saloon and on deck.

Power Catamaran: These types of boats are relatively new but have also been gaining in popularity as the two hulls keep the boat more stable when compared to a monohull. The wider beam also means more deck space and as they don't have sails or a mast, they have a lot more space on deck than a sailing catamaran rental or monohull. For a luxury catamaran charter, consider taking a crewed catamaran charter sailing vacation with an experienced captain.

Luxury Yacht: Luxury yacht charters are available for either a sailing yacht (sailboat), catamaran or motorboat and will have a crew and host/hostess on hand to cater for whatever your needs are along with a captain who will have a detailed knowledge of your cruising area. On a crewed yacht charter of this kind you get to create your own personal itinerary and will have far greater range than on other boats which allows for lots of variety in how you travel and what you do.

Superyacht: A superyacht or sometimes called mega yacht are boats which are least 24 metres (79 feet) in length up to 180 metres (590 feet) and can either be sailing yachts (sailboats) or motorboats. These types of boats are most frequently found in the Med of Caribbean and due to their size they will have a large chartering area and can typically pick you up from whatever location you require rather than you being required to get to a set marina to start your charter. They are fully crewed with professional staff who will cater for your every need along with a captain who will have extensive knowledge of your chosen cruising areas.

Motorboat: This covers a wide variety of boats from a motor yacht with cabins to a private boat trip for a fishing trip but all of the these are comfortable seagoing boats with a kick of speed should you want to cover a bigger distance on the day.​

RIB: Very much day boats for fishing and day cruising, RIBs are a lot of fun for a day afloat. They can be very quick and are great should you be in a town on holiday and fancy seeing the coast or finding secluded sandy beaches to get away from it all.

Captained Yacht Charter or Bareboat

When it comes to boat rental or yacht charter in Vancouver Island you typically have two choices - bareboat yacht rental or captained yacht charter.

When using Borrow A Boat you can filter all boat searches to be with or without a captain depending on what you are looking for and below we cover some of the main points to consider for your boat rental.

Captained Charter: A captained yacht charter gives you the advantage of being able to get afloat without having to invest in getting sailing qualifications before hand. For a monohull sailing yacht you will pay €120/£100/$135 plus a day extra for the captain, as well as their food and a tip at the end.

When you get to a luxury yacht or superyacht charter with crew these prices will increase and costs also depend on where you plan to sail to along with the size and type of boat rental on your sailing holiday.

In some cases captains will also be the yacht or boat owners (typically day trips) which means they will know all the best secluded beaches to show you the best that the area has to offer with their local knowledge.

For day trips you will often be able to use a captain as well and prices will vary depending on the type of boat.

Bareboat Yacht Charter: For skilled sailors, a bareboat charter is cheaper and gives more privacy for you and your charter guests. Many sailors prefer to be helming the boat while choosing their own course, and provided you have the knowledge and relevant qualifications you can captain these boats (typically up to 54 feet/16.5 metres in length) yourself.

Do You Need A Licence To Charter A Yacht In Vancouver Island

If you are on a gulet or captained yacht charter you do not need a license to sail a yacht out of Vancouver Island. This is also the case where you are renting a small motorboat without a cabin for a day trip around the local islands or beaches.

You do need a license if you are on a bareboat yacht charter, here are some examples of sailing qualifications:

International Certificate of Competence: This is issued on request by your European sailing authority and you should automatically qualify with certain national sailing qualifications.

RYA Qualifications: If you have the following qualifications you will be able to take a bareboat charter out of Vancouver Island, these include Day Skipper (sail or motor endorsement), Coastal Skipper or Yachtmaster.

American Sailing Association (ASA): The ASA 104 Bareboat certificate is commonly accepted.

US Sailing: The International Proficiency Certificate is widely accepted and The Bareboat Cruising Certificate is also accepted in many cases.

The main points to consider are what is your budget, have you got the necessary sailing experience and qualifications to manage the boat if it's not going to have a skipper, whom you are taking sailing, where exactly you wish to go and what will the weather be like on the proposed dates of your trip.

​You will typically pay 50% up front on booking the yacht hire and the balance on arrival. You will either pay a security deposit with your credit card on departure or can get insurance covering damage in advance. In some cases (such as the recent Covid situation) charter companies may be more flexible but this depends on the individual charter companies themselves.

If you are at sea and in danger, call MAYDAY on VHF Ch16 or ring the coast guard on your phone if you have reception. If you have a mechanical fault and can make it to or are on a mooring you will be able to phone a help line number given by the boat charter company.

You should consider do you have the experience to handle the yacht charter or boat rental before you book and where do you want to go along with what the weather will be like. Bring warm weather and cool weather clothing if it looks like the weather can be cool as well as warm and remember at sea it can be cool on most evenings.

If you want to sail without a captain then you will need relevant qualifications like RYA Day Skipper/International Certificate of Competence (ICC)/ASA 104 Bareboat certificate or the US Sailing Certificate. For small 'day boats' or if you choose to have a skippered on board your yacht charter you typically don't require licences.

We are confident that our prices are the most competitive and transparent in the market.

We won't charge any booking fees when you make a booking with us.

We have the highest number of verified and vetted boats available on the market.

March Break is one of the busiest travel times of the year and families across North America are getting ready to explore the world. Often referred to as Spring Break, with kids out of school it’s the perfect time to plan a fun family getaway and make lasting memories. Time off for students in North America varies by schools and regions but typically happens in March. Canada is the world’s second largest country as well as one of the most beautiful. From exploring nature, finding hidden gems, taking an unforgettable road trip, to touring vibrant cities, there are thrilling activities and unique experiences from coast to coast in the Great White North. Here are three ideas for an unforgettable March Break with kids in Canada.

Hike Through Nature In Nova Scotia

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Hiking in Nova Scotia is a year round activity and March is the perfect time to explore this diverse province. Known as a rugged, sea-inspired peninsula, Nova Scotia has been home to the Mi’kmaw and First Nations people for ten thousand years and their legends, history, music, art, culture , and spirituality run deep. If you like star gazing, this special region is home to some of the darkest and clearest skies in North America and boasts two official Dark Sky areas. During the day choose from many parks and trails and there are several thrilling winter activities to choose from over March Break. Victoria Park in Truro is open throughout all seasons and has an extensive trail system for all aged adventurers.

U s dollar collapse bank of america issues shocking 1 trillion every 100 days warning amid huge bitcoin ethereum xrp and crypto price boom to rival gold, ios 17 4 release date apple reveals stark warning about new iphone update.

Explore natural gorges, waterfalls, forests with tall trees, and breathtaking views of nature. This pretty woodland park covers 3,000 acres and you might see wild deer or other small animals. Winter hiking boots or ice spikes will come in handy and dress accordingly. Other winter activities at Victoria Park include fat biking (rentals available), snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing with 25 groomed trails.

Chill In Quebec’s Ice Hotel

Quebec, Canada - January 2, 2020: The Hôtel de Glace is a functional hotel with bar made entirely ... [+] out of ice and snow in Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier area North of Quebec City.

Whether it’s a stop along your March Break road trip or your final destination, a visit to Quebec’s Hôtel de Glace (Ice Hotel) is what Nordic icy dreams are made of. It’s the only Ice Hotel in North America and each winter it’s completely rebuilt with a new design and theme. Made entirely of solid snow and ice there are ice sculptures, snowy vaults, and frozen treats to sip and eat. The Ice Hotel is fun for all ages and you can purchase day tickets, or if you want to stay overnight, there are 30 themed rooms and suites where you can sleep on a bed frame made of ice.

The Hôtel de Glace is a functional hotel with bar made entirely out of ice and snow in ... [+] Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier area North of Quebec City.

Not to worry though, your Nordic sleeping bag will keep you warm on top of your wooden box spring, and the outdoor sauna helps too. Some themed suites are truly a work of art with icy sculptures, carved designs, and some even have their own fireplace, multiple beds, and private sauna. This unforgettable winter adventure under the stars is open until March 17.

Sail To Vancouver’s Granville Island

Vancouver, Canada - July 10, 2016: On a sunny day while there are no passengers, a small Aquabus ... [+] ferry boat is docked along the water in False Creek Bay alongside the Granville street bridge.

If you are traveling to Vancouver save a day to visit Granville Island , a magical oasis right in the city. It’s fun for all ages and there is a Kids Market, Adventure Zone, craft area, theater company, improv center, arts club, and craft distillery. Arrive hungry because the main attraction is a huge indoor Public Market featuring a massive assortment of delicious and colorful foods from various vendors. There is fresh produce, baked goods, smoothies, prepared foods, healthy options, and as well as individual restaurants like Chau Veggie Express serving Vietnamese vegan food.

When I was visiting Granville Island, I took my treats outside to enjoy near the water on one of the many benches. Granville Island is easily accessible from Vancouver hotels by a combination of public transit and local ferry. False Creek Ferries has nine dock locations spanning False Creek from Kitsilano Point to the Olympic Village and Science World. Half the fun is getting there on adorable little boats that take you to the main dock. Bring reusable bags as there are so many cool things for sale at the Public Market by local artisans. Choose from handmade soaps, pottery, candles, crafts, clothes, accessories, Indigenous art, and unique gifts to remember your time in beautiful British Columbia.
