  • I'm over in Vancouver on a working visa from England and wanted to take my girlfriend out for a romantic meal at the Cannery. I emailed them and they put me onto Bryan so we could take a cruise of the harbor first and arrive in style. We went up Indian Arm to deep cove and back which was beautiful and really relaxing. Bryan was an excellent skipper, full of interesting stories but also knew when to leave us to it. I would highly recommend this cruise as both my girlfriend and I loved it! Hope your daughters wedding went well Bry!

  • The 4 of us had a great pre-dinner cruise with Bryan. He is full of information about everything there is to see from the boat and has plenty of stories to tell. Even though there was no wind to sail it was a beautiful way to spend a sunny summer evening, venturing out to more natural setting of Deep Cove and back. The fabulous dinner at The Cannery was a perfect second half to the evening.

  • We had a great trip out on Rippleeffect last weekend with Bryan, we sailed to Gibsons on Saturday in beautiful weather, and enjoyed a tasty meal cooked by Bryan. On Sunday we headed back to Vancouver in the midst of some super strong winds! It was an adventure and an awesome trip!

  • We enjoyed a wonderful sunny evening cruise as two couples with Bryan last weekend. It was a fantastic time - Bryan has oodles of information about everything that can be seen from the boat and has many stories to tell, the port has many fascinating things to see and Deep Cove is natural and peaceful even though it's so close to the city. Followed up by the fabulous dinner at The Cannery made it a very special evening for us and our out-of-town guests.

  • We had a beautiful trip on a calm day. Although we didn't get a chance to sail, The trip through second narrows was worth every minute. Thanks so much Bryan for allowing us to have our special ceremony on your boat. Monique

  • We had a wonderful afternoon on board, and enjoyed a relaxing trip up the Indian Arm. Thank you, Bryan, for helping us celebrate my birthday, and for the picnic basket of gourmet treats. Dinner at the Cannery was as good as you said it would be. We'll see you in the Bahamas.
