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!

We recently rented a yacht from Dima, and the experience was absolutely fantastic! Dima and his wife were incredibly welcoming and made sure everything was perfect for our trip. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable time on the water. The yacht was in excellent condition, and the service they provided was top-notch. We had such a great time that we’re already planning our next outing with them. Highly recommend! Feel free to tweak it as needed!
