Cooper Yacht Charters

Cooper Yacht Charters operates from Granville Island, offering sail and power yacht charters, boating instruction and affiliated yacht brokerage. As the charter arm of Cooper Boating — long one of Canada's largest recreational charter operations — it has given Vancouver boaters access to an extensive fleet of sailboats and powerboats for exploring the British Columbia coast.

Visitors are encouraged to come down and meet the experts in person: talk with the instructors, meet the affiliated yacht brokers, or arrange a test sail aboard one of the fleet's cruising yachts before booking a vacation. The Granville Island base has historically anchored Cooper's network of locations along the BC coast, serving both first-time sailors taking lessons and seasoned cruisers planning longer trips.
