Mothership
Sea Kayaking
If
you’re not in a camping frame of mind but still want to explore
the coast in as natural a way as possible, a Mothership kayaking
tour is one of your best options. Boats and the coast go hand in
hand and you can be part of a centuries-old tradition of traveling
from one safe harbor to the next while enjoying the wild freedom
of the coast all the way between, by a combination of charter vessel
and kayak.
We operated
our own Mothership, the Spirit Bear, from 1999 through 2006. We
have made a decision to move on and evolve our Mothership offerings
so that you will have a bigger choice of types and sizes of vessels
on which to travel. Now, you have a choice of classic, beautifully
restored, heritage vessels. You can choose a private charter aboard
an intimate coastal cruiser of 46 feet, carrying four passengers.
Or you can reserve your individual space on a larger vessel of 70
feet that carries up to ten guests.
Each has a dedicated
and professional crew who know the coast intimately, have years
of wildlife encounters under their belts, chefs who turn out spectacular
meals, and of course sea kayaks to help you get away and experience
the most peaceful mode of water travel imaginable.
These vessels
are perfect platforms for watching whales, sea lions, and sea birds.
Porpoises love riding along under the bows as you travel to a new
anchorage. And the vessels carry small boats to take you on side
trips.
The
range of the trips is nearly the entire coast of British Columbia.
From Victoria/Vancouver, there are opportunities to explore island
villages and tour local farms, wineries and artist studios, plus
kayaking, hiking, biking, and watching wildlife. Or you can choose
a voyage to the waters of the orca around northern Vancouver Island
or as far afield as the islands of the northern coast, the Great
Bear Rainforest and the home of the white Spirit bears.
Most voyages
are six to seven days. Each day, we have the option of moving many
miles to an entirely new destination, from open waters to the island
coves. Whatever the weather, the vessels provide a comfortable haven
to pass the days.
Please contact
us discuss your needs so we can help you choose the best vessel
for your vacation and help to get your voyage started.
