First class wilderness cruises and charters on the West Coast of British Columbia, Alaska and the Vancouver BC area aboard our 54 foot ship, Great Bear II.

Experience the Wild  ... in Wilderness !

Welcome aboard our 54-foot motor yacht, Great Bear II. Join us for a few hours charter tour from our home port of Vancouver, BC. Or, enjoy a longer eco-adventure anywhere on British Columbia's West Coast.

We invite you to take a nautical cruise to British Columbia's most remote and spectacular wilderness locations. Experience, the incredible West Coast while enjoying the luxury accommodations and gourmet cuisine on board Great Bear II. Enjoy unparalleled wildlife viewing, whale watching and bear watching. Experience Haida Gwaii with it's First Nations culture, Haida art and ancient totem poles. Walk beneath rainforest canopies of cedar, spruce and hemlock, and along the velvety green estuaries of the Great Bear Rainforest. Relaxing in the pristine natural hot springs on the polished granite shore of our anchorage, you may hear the blow of a Humpback whales as it surfaces, the distant howl of a wolf, or the serenade of songbirds above you.

If a little less wilderness and a bit slower pace is what you're looking for, our Captain and crew know just the spots to take you. Go beachcombing on white sandy beaches edged in turquoise waters, enjoy a picnic lunch, and later on watch the sun set over the Pacific Ocean while you enjoy a glass of wine and appetizers.

Late spring finds us bear watching as we winding our way up the coast to the Magnificent Inlets of the Grizzly Bears and exploring the ancient rainforest and awesome estuaries that are home to these amazing Grizzly Bears. It is on these lush green estuaries, framed in snow-capped mountains and polished granite, that we have often witnessed the tenderness of a mother Grizzly with her bear cubs.

Long summer days are spent in Haida Gwaii - the Queen Charlotte Islands, in Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve, enjoying the awesome biodiversity of the islands and speaking with the Haida Watchmen about their amazing First Nations culture and art.

Summer is also a great time to plan your Custom Trip anywhere on British Columbia's West Coast. A trip for your family, for a group of photographers or film makers, a group of artists, or a very romantic getaway are just some of the groups that book our custom charters.

When the ship is in her homeport of Vancouver BC, she will be available for cruises as short as a couple of hours or for as long as a week. Cruise Vancouver's harbour and waterfronts, the tranquility of Indian Arm, or explore Howe Sound and Bowen Island. A little further out of the city you can spend a few days exploring the Gulf Islands, Princess Louisa Inlet or Desolation Sound.

Fall finds us back on British Columbia's north coast to witness Humpback Whales and the abundance of Mother Nature. Join us for our 5-day Whale Watching departure, as we witness the awesome displays of Humpback Whales behaviors and help local biologists with their studies of these amazing cetaceans.

Islands of the Spirit Bear, Waters of the Humpback Whales offers unparalleled wildlife viewing opportunities as the Black bears, Spirit Bears, and other animals come to the streams to feed on the returning Pacific salmon. Spectacular scenery and abundant wildlife, whale watching, bear watching, and a chance to watch for the legendary Spirit Bear, make this the trip of a lifetime!

As fall draws to a close we return to our home port of Vancouver BC - ready to welcome you aboard for a few hours tour, a full day cruise or a weekend adventure away. Entertain clients or friends on board the ship--our chef would be happy to discuss your menu and beverage requirements.

Our charters allow you to explore British Columbia's West Coast at a leisurely pace or fill your holiday with adventure and excitement. Design your own Custom Trip or join others on a scheduled departure. Whether you'd like to join us for a few hours, a few days, or a week, we would love to welcome you aboard the Great Bear II!
