Our Catamaran
Prince of Whales operates two custom-built catamarans for whale watching tours. The Salish Sea Dream and The Salish Sea Eclipse. Both vessels are designed to be environmentally friendly, comfortable and fast.
The catamarans are designed to minimize their impact on the marine environment and wildlife. They use low-emission engines, hydrofoil technology, and advanced hull design to reduce fuel consumption and noise pollution. They also follow strict guidelines for responsible whale watching practices, such as keeping a safe distance from the whales, avoiding sudden changes in speed or direction, and limiting their time with each group of whales.
Certificate of Excellence Since 2009
BC’s only climate positive whale watching operator
What’s Included
Enjoy a 3-hour Sunset & Fireworks tour during this year’s Honda Celebration of Light – the annual musical fireworks competition in Vancouver, BC. Escape the crowds and the traffic aboard the 95-passenger Salish Sea catamaran, and watch the world-famous fireworks in a lively social atmosphere with panoramic views from the Pacific ocean.
- The perfect viewing platform and the only one of its kind on the British Columbia coast. This 95-passenger catamaran was engineered and built in Canada with the safety of our beloved marine wildlife and our guests as priority number one.
- Enjoy complimentary catered snacks.
- 360-degree panoramic views from a 22ft tall elevated viewing platform means all 95 guests will see farther while we maintain a safe viewing distance.
- Experience spectacular views through floor-to-ceiling windows. Only a few feet above the water, these 10 ft tall glass windows offer unobstructed views of dramatic Salish Sea scenery.
- BC craft beverages available for purchase.

Prepare for Adventure
It gets cold out on the water (trust us!), so we recommend windbreaker jackets, sweaters, long pants, and closed-toe shoes. It’s also a good idea to bring sunglasses, sunscreen, a tight-fitting hat, a camera to capture some memorable moments and, above all, your sense of adventure!
FAQS
Do tours run in all types of weather?
Tours operate rain or shine! Safety is our priority and, in extreme weather conditions or high winds, adventures may be cancelled at the discretion of our qualified crew. We will be in touch should this be the case.
Are there bathrooms on the boat?
The boat we use for this tour is equipped with two airline-style washrooms.
Do passengers often feel seasick?
No, our boats are custom-built for whale watching with passengers in mind. Captain and crew will also do their best to minimize the impact of the sea. However, if you are prone to seasickness, we recommend you purchase non-drowsy Gravol from a pharmacy prior to your adventure with us.
Do I need to make a reservation?
Reservations are definitely recommended. Adventures often sell out and we don’t want you to be disappointed.
Is there parking on the premises?
While there is pay-parking on Granville Island, it fills up very quickly! We recommend to allot more time to park before your check-in time, as the parking lot between 10:00 am to 6:00 pm might be already full.
