We are proud to offer Charter Services and Day Sailing in the Southern Gulf Islands, in addition to opportunities with our partner Mill Bay Marine Group aboard Providence, our 80’ LOA class B tall ship. Built in 1903 she is the oldest working vessel in BC waters and has spent her entire life plying the sea earning a living as a commercial fishing vessel, coastal freighter and charter vessel. She is a gaff rigged ketch giving her a distinguished look that draws admirers where ever she lands.
