The beautiful PYF heading into a gorgeous BC Day long weekend!

Captain Colin admittingly suffers from “wooden boat disease”! It was love at first sight when he saw this impressive boat. He has diligently maintained her integrity and beauty as a historical wooden vessel.

Constructed almost exclusively with native timbers, the wooden grandeur has been preserved and its varnish glows throughout the boat.

Sometimes guests play a part in daily meals and help harvest some ingredients from our local waters - like these clams.

Then they feast on their catch-of-the-day deliciously prepared by Chef Ben. You can’t get fresher than that!

This week the temperatures are warming up again here in BC, but this beautiful bear has his strategy for keeping cool covered.

We actually encountered this gorgeous guy on a trip a couple years ago and were able to carefully and respectfully view him going about his morning routine. What a privilege.

Get up close & personal with us

Ever wondered about the history of our majestic vessel? Our yacht really does have a storied past and she truly is the last of her kind.

Built in 1943 as a U.S. military vessel, the Pacific Yellowfin traversed the globe, eluded detection, and stored her mysteries. After accommodating millionaires, mischief-makers and rapscallions, she makes an inspiring and wonderfully adventure-worthy vessel to enjoy your own expedition from.

Today, she is owned by charismatic storyteller, Captain Colin Griffinson.

Keeping cool

This beautiful Kermode bear has the right idea for beating the heat. Find a cool, shady patch and keep movement to a minimum.

Kermode bears aka Spirit bears, are rare black bears with white or creamy fur, brown eyes, dark nose pads, and nearly white claws. They are not polar bears or albinos. Approximately 100 exist and their habitat is the Great Bear Rainforest in British Columbia.

On our expeditions we are always thrilled when we get an experience like this. It's a privilege and it's magic.

Wishing on a Sea Star

The Ochre or Purple Star, (Pisaster ochraceus) is by far the most common sea star in British Columbia and along much of northwest coast of North America. The species primarily eats mussels and barnacles, but has a broad range of other dietary items.*

We love it's vibrant colour and it's such a beautiful part of our coastal fauna.

Laser focus

This beautiful Kermode bear has his sights firmly fixed on the water and his task at hand: catching a fish!

During the day, white coloured bears are 35% more successful than brown or black coloured ones in capturing salmon. Salmon evade large, black bears about twice as frequently as they evade large white coloured ones, giving these bears an advantage in salmon hunting. The white fur of the bear is harder to spot under water by fish than dark fur is, so the bear can catch fish more easily.*

Full steam ahead into the week!

There's nothing we like better than being out on the water on our beautiful historic vessel. She was built in 1943 but has gone through a myriad of transformations and upgrades over the decades.

Captain Colin purchased her in 2000, maintaining her spirit while modernizing her. Now, she travels as an exclusive private charter yacht giving access to stunning wilderness destinations in an intimate, lodge-style setting.

The Pacific Yellowfin upholds the highest safety standards so you can cruise with full peace of mind.

She is inspected annually as a Transport Canada certified passenger vessel.

Fresh!

You really don't get much fresher than this. Prawns caught, beautifully cooked and served the same day. A true Coast-to-table-dining experience.

Dining aboard the Pacific Yellowfin is a delectable highlight of our trips. The rich ocean bounty we glide over on each voyage provides the freshest seafood. Other ingredients are collected from local communities and farms we have built relationships with over the years.

This catch was a few years ago on a trip through Desolation Sound, but we still remember how delicious it was!
