Photography Tours

We are the photographer’s choice. Our knowledge of wildlife hotspots throughout the year, experience positioning the vessel, and the accessibility & stability of our vessels, all help to insure you capture the best images possible.

All-Day Whale & Wildlife Tours

A three hour window allows you to experience our unique ecosystem, but if your group craves a more immersive, comprehensive experience around the wildlife of the San Juan and Canadian Gulf Islands, a six- to eight-hour charter is a one of a kind adventure.

This window of time can increase our geographic range and give us the best chances for profound moments. We can also arrange to stop and check out beautiful outer islands such as Sucia or Matia. We can also suggest a few catering options for your full day on board.

Private Charters for All Group Sizes

Imagine is our custom-designed luxury vessel, ideal for couples or small groups of up to six passengers.

Imagine offers 360-degree views and ample viewing space from anywhere on board, including the comfortable heated cabin. The boat also has a head, or marine bathroom, for your convenience.

J1 and J2 are the perfect vessels for photography tours, families and groups of up to 16 passengers.

Both vessels are available at the same time to accommodate groups over 16 passengers. As custom designed sister vessels, they feature heated cabins with theater style seating and unparalleled visibility through the large cabin windows. And there is excellent viewing from the outdoor bow and stern viewing decks. They also have a head, or marine bathroom, for your convenience.
