If you have ever wondered what this fascination of sailing is all about and have dreamed of sailing Canada's Gulf islands around Victoria, here is your chance!

We have a Beneteau 351 Oceanus sloop called the Ibis, which features all the amenities and safety features you would wish. Ibis is moored in Oak Bay, about 10 minutes drive from downtown Victoria.

This is a "hands-on" sailing - experience for those who want to sail, or learn the basics of sailing in a magnificent ocean setting.

Your Skipper is a CYA sailing instructor.

Being moored in Oak Bay, you have the advantage of being close to a number of uninhabited Gulf Islands and marine ecological reserves. These harbour a wide diversity of wildlife. The Oak Bay area is also popular with boaters because of the many sheltered anchorages and protection offered from rough seas. For this reason, sea sickness is an unusual occurrence here and in the Gulf Islands adjacent.

Full-Day

On this full day adventure, we can anchor in a tranquil cove, go ashore to picnic, and to hike a wild and beautiful island - Discovery Island Marine Park.

Included on our day sails:

Skipper, introductory sail training, lunch, park fees, use of fishing and crabbing gear and inflatable.
