MAXUM 46' YACHT FOR RENT IN VANCOUVER
We had an incredible experience on the yacht! The conductor was professional, skilled, and made sure everything went smoothly, even with the weather. The trip was safe, fun, and unforgettable. Highly recommend this service for a great time on the water!

We booked the boat and pictures for a proposal. Dima and Ana were more than accommodating and were there to answer any questions if we had any. My fiancée and I will definitely be coming back with our family for another excursion with them!! Would 14/10 recommend!! If you’re on the fence about it, just book it and enjoy your serene boat ride. We went to Deep Cove and it was so peaceful and a beautiful day for our shoot. Everything seemed to fall into place after a week of rain, our day cleared up the day prior. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Best night of our lives! Had my proposal done here with Dima and Ana and the reviews prior to booking were nothing short of absolutely true. The communication, time taken, the service and overall warmth of the experience gave us everything we needed to push past the finish line. I recommend them for any event you were possibly thinking about having on a boat, it was fantastic!

Mark, his crew, and his boat were so incredible! I booked this boat for a corporate team event and my team absolutely loved it!! From the moment I got in touch with Mark, he was very responsive and great to work with throughout the entire process. He and his crew went above and beyond to make our event a memorable one. They were able to accommodate a change in our schedule, helped me set up the F&B, set up colored lights for a dance party, cleaned up after us, and even lent swimming trunks. I would definitely book with Mark again, and hope that it will be sometime soon!
