I know there have been some mentions on here about this. I did the trip last summer from Rupert to Seattle. What a fantastic trip! Finally got around to making the video. Steve (owner) is exactly the guy you want on this trip with you, if anyone loves to ski, it’s this guy.

I would def recommend the trip. Not cheap, that’s for sure but one you’ll remember for years to come!

We still text with Steve to this day so if your are looking for more information or to book, let me know and I can put you in contact with him.

Oh and he has a TV show that’s available on Amazon Prime too, pretty cool.

 
looks like an incredible adventure! I love BC, best place to visit in Canada by far!

did you encounter any rough water conditions?
 
Most of the trip was calm, you’re in protected waters. There were 2 crossings where we were not protected and it got a little rough but nothing more than a normal day out at sea. I was actually hoping for some really rough seas at one point to get the adrenalin going but nadda.
 
We ended up befriending a guy at Shearwater in a 40’ boat. They were doing the inside passage at their own pace... What I would give to do that one day. He had wine on tap on the boat! Haha, super nice.

It was kind of fun bc at each port you were treated as rock stars. “You’re doing what?”, “You came from where!??”

Wow! Fantastic filming and editing!
So much better to watch than the Dangerous Adventure... which I couldn’t finish season one, lol.

Beautiful!
@Bruce how about a BC jetboaters trip?
Like pulling a @Majorsmackdown in reverse, lol.

 
That’s awesome @Trevor Shipman my son and I got hooked on the show and binged all the episodes over the past few months.
 
Hah, thanks guys. I was super lucky to have the opportunity. And seeing an orca feet from your ski is def one of then most magical experiences of my life. I could have watched those guys swim all day, but we had to press on due to light.

The one shot of the pod and the 2 babies was amazing... too bad there wasn’t a video of us scrambling to pull the drone out fast enough!

I tell you what, one thing about Steve is I can promise you as much as any of us love boats and things with jets on them, he loves them more. Seeing how much he loves each trip even though he’s done it countless times.
 
Looks like an amazing trip @Trevor Shipman . I'd be inclined to do a trip like that someday, but at a slower pace. Probably in a single diesel engine trawler type of pace. You know, Great Loop style! With an enclosed helm with sleeping accommodations so the rainy weather wouldn't bother us and we wouldn't need to stay in a marina every night either. That is some beautiful country to explore!

You and me both!
 
I miss Seattle grew up there. Been all through those waters, some of the most beautiful stuff you will ever see.

Cant convince wife to go out there.
