White sand beaches, warm tidal waters, a beachcombers paradise.
Thormanby Island
Cruise across the open waters of the Strait of Georgia, keeping a lookout for whales and dolphins, to Thormanby Island off the Sunshine Coast. We will deliver you to the public wharf on the north island, which accesses sweeping Vaucroft Beach. Spend an afternoon beachcombing, swimming in the warm tidal waters, or having a beach picnic while taking in the stunning vistas. On low tide, walk from the north to the south island to Buccaneer Bay, exploring tidal pools and an abundance of marine life.
The Strait crossing takes about 1.25 hours one way depending on weather, leaving you approximately 2-2.5 hours to spend on shore. Time can be extended at the Captain’s discretion. This excursion is dependent on favourable wind conditions.
