Voyage Makers Coastal Adventures is a British Columbia boating school and coastal experience company based on Vancouver Island. Throughout B.C., we offer sailing, powerboat, and multihull training, private coaching, bareboat charter planning, cruising resources and curated Port to Palate™ coastal experiences designed to bring you closer to the coast.
Guided by our Skipper’s Mindset™ framework, we teach more than technical skill. We build command, judgment, crew communication, and calm decision-making for the moments that matter.
We don’t just teach boating skills. We build skippers – and design the experiences that shape them.
Build real-world confidence through boating courses, private training, docking clinics, coastal navigation and Skipper’s Mindset™ development for sail, power, and multihull boaters.
Curated coastal adventures, culinary itineraries and insider access to the people, places and flavours that define British Columbia’s cruising culture.

Cruising with Gratitude
We are located on the unceded and traditional WSANEC territory of the Tsartlip and Tseycum First Nations. As we travel this region, we do so with gratitude and respect for the inherent responsibility First Nations hold for their lands and do so with a commitment to understanding Indigenous culture and rights.
Our work is continually informed by the wisdom learned through Indigenous leadership in this region. We are grateful for their example and committed to advancing authentic, respectful experiences that honour the ancient knowledge systems of these territories.
