"Captain James, Sean, Kendra, and Briony - thank you for the wonderful experience in the Gulf Islands. Exploring the Islands and exploring sketching and watercolours - what a magnificent combination! Perhaps we'll be able to have a reunion trip on our private yacht sometime in the future! Many thanks." - Deanna Henry, Victoria, BC

"What a privilege to be on the beautiful Maple Leaf; an experience I am sure all of us will treasure forever. We all enjoyed being pampered by the attentive and friendly captain and crew. They were patient with our clumsy yet to be perfected sailing skills and we learned so much about sailing, the awe-inspiring surroundings & wildlife. Shawn did a wonderful job and fed us royally. We can't believe our luck with the warm & sunny autumn weather and were thrilled to experience cormorants, seals, sea lions, and porpoises rushing to accompany us on our last day. Thank you for an incredible time!"
