“A great way to spend a couple hours on the water. Lucy was a great host, the pontoon boat was a good size for our party of 10 (7 adults, 3 kids). A thoroughly enjoyable, memorable afternoon.”

All SeaSky pontoon charters depart from Plaza of Nations, 750 Pacific Blvd, Vancouver (near BC Place). Exact dock and boarding details are provided after booking. Text us at 778-859-9423 if you get lost.
The pontoon accommodates up to 10 passengers, excluding the captain. Well-behaved pets count as one passenger. For groups of 11+, contact us and we can recommend a larger yacht or event boat from the SeaSky fleet.
2-hour minimum, with a 3-hour minimum for weekend sunset charters. A mandatory 5-minute safety briefing takes place at the start of your booking time. For example, a 5:00 PM charter starts with a 5-minute briefing, then the remaining hours are fully yours on the water. If you arrive late, that time is subtracted from your rental.
We recommend at least 3 hours if you’re planning a BBQ. Outdoor cooking on the water is affected by wind, temperature, and what you’re grilling. Thick cuts of meat, whole seafood, or cooking for a full group of 8–10 can take significantly longer than at home — and a sudden breeze can slow the grill down.

As a rough guide: burgers and sausages are quick (30–40 min); chicken thighs and ribs need 45–60 min; whole crab or thick salmon can take 30+ min just for the seafood portion. In a 2-hour charter, we can usually only manage hotdogs. If you’re bringing a full spread, 3 hours gives you time to cruise, set up, cook properly, and eat without feeling rushed.

Tell us what you’re bringing in your booking notes — we’ll help you plan the timing and make sure the experience is relaxed, not stressful.
Yes. Bring your own food, snacks, drinks, and utensils. Alcohol is permitted for guests 19+ in BC. We provide the BBQ grill, propane, and a cooler — bring your own ice and tongs (for health and safety reasons we don’t provide tongs).
Email us at least 7 days before your cruise for a full refund. For rescheduling, contact us at least 3 days before your charter date. For weather-related concerns, we can help reschedule with at least 3 days’ notice, subject to availability. We also monitor marine weather and boat condition closely and will contact you if conditions are not suitable or safe for cruising.
Please share any accessibility needs before booking so the team can confirm the most suitable vessel and boarding plan.

SeaSky Cruises pontoon boat on False Creek at sunset — Burrard Bridge Vancouver marina and city skyline

One Private Pontoon. An Easy Way to Be Together.

This private pontoon is designed for relaxed groups who want everyone together in one open, social space. The layout is simple, comfortable, and easy to enjoy from the moment you step onboard.

Leather seating wraps the full deck. The BBQ lives at the stern. The sound system carries across the water. The bimini top goes up when the sun does. Compared with a yacht, a pontoon keeps everyone together in one shared space and closer to the water. It is also one of the most comfortable and best-value ways to enjoy a private boat charter in Vancouver.

Your captain has done this run hundreds of times. Captain Lucy and the SeaSky team know these waters well, from the best places to anchor to the best light for photos, so your group can simply step on board and enjoy the experience.
