Excalibur Charters
For the adventure of a lifetime!
Since
1992 Excalibur Charters has been providing cruising adventures to countless visitors
from all corners of the earth. While
on our Boating Charters you’ll travel through the beautiful Gulf Islands archipelago
and feel the history of the Southern Vancouver Island coast.
These are the waters where the paddles of the proud Cowichan Tribes took
these earliest peoples from village to village; where the oars of the European
settlers propelled them to remote homesteads; where commercial fishermen wet their
lines and rumrunners plied their trade.
Place names like Chemainus and Cowichan from the native peoples; Galiano
and Saturna from the Spanish explorers; Moresby and Pender from the British mariners;
and Fernwood and Crofton from the early pioneers.
This is the home of the mighty Orca (killer whale), porpoise, sea lion,
seal and otter. Bald eagles soar
overhead while colorful puffins, cormorants and blue herons feed and nest.
Where Chinook and Coho salmon entice the visiting fishermen along with
sole, lingcod and snapper. Tidal
pools abound with sea life; crab, sea urchins, star fish and anemones.
Join
us aboard the motor vessel Excalibur and take in the beauty of the Gulf Islands
and Southern Vancouver Island. Over
one hundred islands and islets dot the protected waterways and create a cruising
area with endless possibilities. Sit
back and enjoy your leisurely cruise among the islands while Whale Watching, Wildlife
Viewing and enjoying the setting sun as it turns the sky crimson.
You can include a visit to the Saturday morning crafts fair in Ganges Harbor
on Salt Spring Island; dine on succulent lamb at the Saturna Island lamb barbecue;
learn how they make wine at a Thetis Island winery; buy fresh fruit at the Pender
Island farmers market; or roam the beautiful Butchart Gardens in Saanich Inlet.
You can hike the trails and shores of the numerous marine parks including
Montague Harbor on Galiano Island; Pirates Cove on DeCoucy Island; Cabbage Island;
Princess Margaret Park on Portland Island; Sidney Spit on Sidney Island; and Wallace
Island. Sample the fare at one of
the many waterfront pubs and restaurants.
We can even arrange overnight accommodation at one of the sea side Bed
& Breakfasts; some only accessible by boat.
Don’t
overlook the thrill of Salmon Fishing or fishing for
bottom fish aboard our fully equipped center console sports fishing boat
"Blue Flasher". Our Fishing
Charters include all the gear you need and fishing licenses are available on board.
Remember – at Excalibur Charters we specialize in designing an adventure just for you and your chosen companions. Whether it’s Whale Watching, Fishing Charters, Wildlife Viewing or just sight seeing, there’s no need to share your cruising experience with strangers. Our rates are surprisingly reasonable, whether you’re looking to book for a few hours, a day, or a multi-day B&B cruise. Let us take you on the cruising adventure of a lifetime!
