The majestic bald eagle...

Found over most of North America from Alaska and Canada to northern Mexico, approximately 20,000 bald eagles live in British Columbia*

On a misty day we were treated to this gorgeous vignette of two beautiful bald eagles perched at the top of a tree. Amazing.

#whalewednesday

It's always a magical experience to view whales - in this case a gorgeous Orca - on our expeditions. Sometimes they just share glimpses of fins, tails, and the tops of their bodies - and many times, like in this great photo from last summer, they share their full amazing beauty with us!

At least we think so. In this shot, which captures part of the engine room, you can see the amazing workmanship, something that goes into every aspect of the PYF.

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.

That mist is always a sign that we're about to experience the wonders of whale watching.

How much the whales will reveal themselves always varies, but it's exciting none-the-less!

The "Blow" is actually a cloud or column of moist air forcefully expelled through the blowhole when the whale surfaces to breath.(It is not expelled water.) For some species of whale this can be seen from many kilometers away.

Look at this distinguished gentleman...

Such character and such a pose. We love spending time observing these awesome Steller Sea lions.

Steller sea lions are the largest of the 5 species of sea lion with the males weighing in at around 1500 pounds!

And instead of a bark like some species in the seal family, they emit low-frequency vocalizations that sound a bit like a roar.

Whales ahoy!

An amazing experience viewing these magnificent Humpback whales on a recent expedition, beautifully captured by @kwexphoto

These whales are truly awe-inspiring!

Repost @kwexphoto

Watching humpback whales in group coordinated bubble-net feeding is an incredible sight and sound to behold. Last week we were surrounded by multiple schools of 10-15 humpbacks working together in this complex, highly synchronized set of behaviors. The whales dive deep then start strategically blowing bubbles in a circular motion to form a “bubble-net”. This forces their prey to congregate towards the surface of the water in the center of the bubbles where feeding becomes much easier.

I love this shot because if you look close enough you can see the whale’s eye! Can you spot it??

Great Bear!

The Kermode aka Spirit Bear, is one of nature's truly unique and rare creatures, and we are so lucky to spend much of our time in the Great Bear Rainforest where they live.

Every time we view one we are so thrilled and appreciative.

Why are they so rare?

"One in ten black bears is pale, and to produce pale cubs both parents - white or black - must carry the gene that results in the white or cream-coloured coat. That means the chances of a couple of black bears producing a spirit bear is pretty slim, even if one of them is a spirit bear itself."

Looking good from all angles

We love looking at things from a different perspective, like this overhead view of the PYF.

From this outlook you can see some of our On-board Amenities.

Our lodge-style atmosphere creates a home-away-from-home feel. Choose your favourite spot: rejuvenate in the hot tub, read a book on the fantail deck or sink into the welcoming leather seats to relive the day’s events.

Socialize in comfort. Gather in the country-style, open galley or around the large, solid wood dining table. Share stories in our open-plan saloon. Plan your day together reviewing area charts and tide books over your morning coffee in the Wheelhouse. Lean back into thickly padded leather couches for an evening drink or a friendly competitive board game. Relax beneath the stars in our six person hot tub or soak up the sun on the deck.
