What an amazing and unique way to experience the Southern Gulf Islands! Chris was a very helpful and kind host who helped make our stay much better than we ever could have imagined. As a family of 4 with no sailing experience, we were very comfortable and had everything we needed on the boat. He even got us to help out with hoisting sails! Chris walked us through everything in detail and it was so peaceful being out on the water (except the occasional splashing seals!!). It was easy to get back and forth to Mayne to go exploring and find good restaurants. The highlight was our day of sailing. Chris sailed us for the whole day (~7 hrs) and we anchored at Galiano for a beach lunch. We saw a bit of wildlife on our day trip- two incredible humpback whales, lots of porpoises, jelly fish, and harbor seals. Would recommend this stay to anyone looking to relax and experience the island life in the most authentic way possible, can't wait to go back!
