One in four families in British Columbia own a boat, kayak
or canoe so private clubs are jammed, sailor folk are the norm
and charters and rentals proliferate. Whether it’s paddling
up the placid waters of Burrard Inlet, sailing island
protected waters, or launching into the open sea, sailing here
offers something for young tars and old salts.
Rentals and charters are available at:
