We covered a lot of the lake in a two hour period and the weather was gorgeous. He even humoured us by letting my friend and I jump in the lake which was freezing cold. This was an absolute must do and definitely something we'd do again!

They arranged an incredible lunch for us and selected amazing wineries where we received VIP treatment at each one. Casey organized all of our purchases for us and even carried our cases to our doorsteps at the end of the day. We didn't lift a finger other than to drink our wine! From the fun music to the (much needed) snacks in the van, Sip & Anchor literally thinks of everything. By far the best wine tour company in the Okanagan. Thank you Casey for such a great experience-- we can't wait to do it again this year!

Absolutely an amazing service. If you're looking for an amazing day around wine country, don't…read morethink twice, book them. Extremely professional, helpful, super responsive and they never hesitate to go out of their way to make sure you're looked after and have a special day. As a customer (and a small business owner myself), I can't recommend them enough.

WHAT AN AWESOME TIME!…read more Our friend booked this (party for six) and the bus picked us up from our resort (Playa Del Sol) at 10:45am. We proceeded to pick up another group of nine girls for a stagette party from another resort. Caleb was our driver and not only was he SUPER friendly, he was EXTREMELY informative and made great recommendations (Hello? We brought home six bottles of ice wine!) on wine (especially what was available in local liquor stores or not). We stopped at three wineries: Rollingdale, Indigenious, and Quail's Gate. We then dropped the stag party off at the boat while we went to Kalala Winery to try their 2016 Award Winning Icewine (luckily they had some in stock for us to take home!). We then drove down to the docks and switched places with the stag party and hopped on the boat with 'Nice-To-Look-At-Nick' for a stroll down the lake for a nice dip. It was really refreshing after a long day of wine tasting. Life vests were provided for us non-strong (read here: drunk) swimmers that wanted to jump in but didn't trust our alcoholic instincts. The water was fantastic! Nick was a great host as well. We arrived back at our hotel around 5:45pm so a full day! This was a great trip. I enjoyed, not only the wine tasting, but everything I learned from Caleb, a superb guide and our boat ride and swim with easy-going Nick. Very hospitable and such a great time! Highly recommended!

I first heard about this amazing fishing Tugboat from a friend 15 years ago and put it on my bucket list and you should too. It was amazing and we had the time of our lives. When we weren't catching fish we were laughing so hard our stomachs hurt. We have done the fishing lodges in the past and they're ok too, but this is on another level and for about the same amount of money. No where near the amount of people and very personnel service. This is unique and nothing else like it, making it a wonderful experience for my wife and I. We'll be talking about this trip for some time. Don't be surprised if they take a few days to respond to your inquiry, in fact, expect it, since they are working hard on the boat taking care of the customers like you'd expect in a 5 star hotel. We had some slow days because only mother nature can make the fish bite but then we had some outstanding days where we could have limited out 3 times over. We limited out and loss as many as we kept. Between the wife and I we caught a little of everything. King, Coho, Lingcod, Pink, and some rock fish. Our guide Warren, was outstanding and has a great sense of humor making it a great way to spend the day on the water. If the girls need to make a rest stop the mother ship isn't that far away. We saw Hump back Whales, and Killer whales all around us, as well as a golden eagle swooping down to catch a salmon out of the water. We even heard someone on the radio, say they saw a black bear swimming to shore. We can't say enough good things about Brian and Vieira and this type of trip. I taught Total Customer Satisfaction to national franchisees for over 10 years and Brian and Vieira have it nailed.

It is billed as follow the fish but that doesn't happen when you stay anchored in the same cove and there are no fish!
