Private Yacht Cruise Through Vancouver with a Local Captain, Charcuterie & Ocean Views

Imagine cruising along Vancouver’s coastline, fresh ocean breeze in your hair, local wine in your glass, and the city’s skyline sparkling around you. That’s what a day on The Bluebelle promises—an exclusive private yacht experience that feels like it was designed just for you.

Guided by Captain Dave Hartney, a former lawyer, professional musician, and Transport Canada-certified skipper, this is not your average boat tour. Dave’s easygoing nature, storytelling charm, and deep roots in Vancouver make him more than a captain—he’s your insider host to one of the most beautiful cities on the Pacific coast. With a perfect 5-star record on Airbnb and safety credentials to match, you're in the best of hands.

Choose from five handpicked routes, each showcasing a different side of the city—from tranquil coves and waterfalls to architectural marvels and buzzing marinas. No matter the route, Mastercard guests are treated to a premium charcuterie board served onboard and a private four-hour voyage on a meticulously maintained 2020 Sea Ray 320 Yacht, outfitted with reclining bow loungers, a full bathroom, Bluetooth sound system, and cozy seating for families or couples.

If you’ve been considering a seaplane for your West Coast sightseeing, this cruise offers the same jaw-dropping views—with the added luxury of personal space, calm pacing, and conversation with a local who knows every inlet by name.
