Parking is available so DRIVE ON THE DOCK where the headquarters. We didn't realize there was parking and the only available free parking is 3 hours (and Steveston is HEAVILY monitored) so we ended up paying $25 for parking. We arrived 45 minutes early which they recommend and there is a Starbucks and Juice Truck within walking distance so you can easily waste time. We get geared up in their sweet orange jumpsuits and head down to the boat. I highly recommend you try the zodiac as its open and you get the most authentic up close experience. Holy crap these boats go fast! Tons of space to store your belongings (in the bench so it's covered). We brought sandwiches and water but they offer granola bars and water and for a reasonable fee, they offer sandwiches. We saw seals, eagles, and followed a pod of killer whales for over an hour (including watching them jump out of the water and play around). It was an incredible experience and I am so happy we got to experience them in their natural habitat. We didn't get super close but we saw enough! I highly recommend Seabreeze for an incredible once in a lifetime experience.

As a boat owner, I am extremely frustrated. I was trying to support local, but this service is…read moreoutdated and not optimized to protect boat owners any how. The last time we got booked, the client paid 15% which means the client officially booked us, all those money go to the platform. And we are supposed to personally collect the rest of the payment. In the client's eyes they "prepaid" for the trip, in on our side we got nothing. So when the client doesn't show up, and "cancel" last minute, they think they paid "fee for cancellation". In reality, we got nothing and wasted out time for the preparation and waiting for over an hour. I am pissed off and will never use this service again

Unreliable. Sail at your own risk!…read more Harbour Cruises of Vancouver completely failed to deliver on the promise of their Indian Arm cruise. They claimed smoke in the engine room and limped back to port before we even turned into the Arm. Other reviews have reported unexplained itinerary changes that eliminated the main part of the trip. One has to wonder if they don't go up the Arm simply to save money when it's not fully booked or if their boats are that unreliable. While I understand mechanical issues, their compensation policy was completely inadequate. They offered a free drink on board and a coupon for 15% off a future cruise. Anyone booking on the internet can get a 20% discount off any cruise! After much back and forth they finally offered a 20% refund. The final price after this discount was approximately double the price of a narrated harbor tour. We received an un-narrated tour of the container port instead of a tour of the natural environment, which is what we were promised. We feel cheated by Harbour Cruises of Vancouver. Sail at your own risk!

I paid $1,000 deposit for gas, I was asked to e-transfer to Juan He. I spent a total of $120 gas on the yacht. Juan He is not returning my calls, and is not returning my $880. I had a horrible experience with Juan He. My car broke down the day I organized to pay cash deposit to Juan He, after that she was very rude and frustrated with me. I let her know that my car broke down, and my boyfriend was having second thoughts about the yacht due to Covid-19 and I would let her know as soon as I did about the yacht booking. I called back about 4 days later to book the yacht, she was still rude and stated that I had to pay full price of $3,808 in order to book the yacht. I e-transferred $1,904, and she threatened to cancel the booking and return my money. I asked if I could pay $1,904 deposit and pay the rest on the day of, and she angrily agreed. On July 19, she demanded a $1,904 e-transfer, or the yacht would not leave the Richmond dock to pick us up in False Creek. She also demanded a $1,000 e-transfer to pre-pay for gas. I paid, as she said she would cancel the charter if I did not. We reached False Creek, we were late for the charter understanding it would be going into our own time. We got on the boat and one bathroom did not work. We were promised 2 bathrooms. The other bathroom stopped working within an hour into the charter. We had no bathroom to use for the rest of the charter. Also, while on the yacht, the captain's driving was extremely unsafe. He did not seem qualified at all. My boyfriend has owned several boats/yachts before and was helping him the entire time, and was not able to enjoy his birthday as he was worried for our safety. The captain was not able to dock properly, and the yacht was rocking the whole entire time. Many passengers were thrown across the yacht and have bruises. The captain was also extremely rude and was yelling at the passengers of the party. He screamed "NO" when one passenger tried to take food from the top floor to the bottom floor. He stated all food must stay on the top floor, even though the food was flying everywhere. Also, he forbid us to take off the windows of the top floor of the boat, he claimed "they are hard to put back on." We were sitting on the top, and it was muggy and crowded, we said we would help put them back on and took them off ourselves. I understand that I did not show for the first payment, but that is no reason to mistreat your customer for the entirety of their booking and also steal their money.

I decided after much contemplation (and several declines from my friends much to my surprise) that…read moreI'd ask Marcus to come along with me on this three hour tour of the Vancouver Harbour, False Creek and downtown aboard the famous Hornblower Yacht that departs from Coal Harbour. It shocked me actually that Marcus wanted to come with. He didn't usually like to lift his sorry butt off the couch on a Sunday, complaining usually of his torrid night past which consisted mainly of hard cheezies and plenty of X-File repeats on DVD. "They're called reruns," he told me as we walked up the plank to the main deck of the Hornblower - a three deck yacht that was immaculately clean emitting a sense of pride that only the great ocean could demand. "Besides," Marcus threw in. "I couldn't let you go alone." Inside my head, I thanked him. I didn't understand why my friends would turn down a chance to ride False Creek, through the heart of downtown Vancouver, past the business district and take in the beautiful sight that is the sails of Canada Place. Usually, I'd have to draw straws to see who went... but not today. There was only Marcus left standing. In the dining room, the tables were set with matching table cloths and napkins, and at the end of the room, there was a full bar for cocktails and non alky's. On the walls, pictures of famous ships and other boat paraphernalia brought a feeling of comfort and nostalgia, even though I'd never been on the boat before. Upstairs, Marcus excused himself and instinctively found his way into the men's washroom, patting his stomach and announcing to the rest of the crowd that he "had to create some space for dinner". I cringed. They all walked away disgusted. The Japanese could hear the toilet flush from downtown Tokyo and they yelled "Tsunami!" as Marcus bailed out of the loo. "Now I feel like a man," he said (only he was truly serious) "Let's go see the boat". The second deck of the Hornblower wrapped around the entire length of the ship. There were chairs and tables scattered all around from bow to stern. Pockets of people sat with martini glasses and beer steins, taking in the view of Coal Harbour. The blue sky above displayed a run of overcast, but that eliminated the sweltering heat that pounded behind the clouds. It was a perfect day for a cruise. The Hornblower DJ began the evening with light Caribbean music, then as the time passed, got into newer music and old time rock and roll. The dinner was a choice cut of prime rib, roasted herb potatoes, fresh veggies, French bread and a variety of salads. Overall, the presentation was great and the food was tasty. After dinner, that's when the party really got started. Marcus downed three quick tequilas from the bar and scooted upstairs. I cringed again, wondering if I would be wiping Marcus up off the floor by the end of the trip. I downed my red wine and chased after him. Upstairs, the DJ had most of the people dancing in mere minutes. Playing music from the disco era, to the eighties, to old time rock and roll - he didn't stop once. He was unique in the sense that he pulled out costumes and masks for himself and the dancers to wear. People loved it! They put on the Village People hats and did the YMCA! I'd never seen a group of people have such a good time in a short amount of time. He even had Marcus dancing. During the song Man, I Feel Like A Woman by Shania Twain, the DJ put a feather boa around Marcus's neck and dressed him up like a woman, wig and all! Marcus saw me watching from the railing and strolled over to me... more like sauntered seductively. "Dude," he slurred. "I totally need some bazookas!" He raised both his hands to his chest and squeezed. For the first time in a while, I saw my friend smile. By the end of the trip, the sun had set and the beautiful lights of downtown Vancouver appeared. The BMO building stood tall on the shore. The RBC building with the one solid green laser light that shot high into the night sky. Stanley Park on one side, the North Vancouver Quay on the other. The sails of Canada Place were lit up like the Hollywood sign and clear as day. There is no better view of the city than from the deck of the Hornblower. I felt Marcus slump down beside me against the rail. He reeked of tequila and cheap perfume."I think I got a date," he slurred and turned halfway around. I turned and saw him wave to a red hair lady about fifty years of age, wrapped in one of the DJ's boas. She must have outweighed Marcus by at least a hundred pounds, but she was happy... and apparently so was he. "Jackpot!" He made a motion in the air like he was pulling on the limb of a one armed bandit. "So you had a good time," I said. "Ooooh yeah," he smirked. "I'm glad I told everyone that the cruise was on the Fraser River... not False Creek." I was angry only for a second. He was my best friend after all, and if anyone needed to have the night of their life aboard a beautiful yacht, it was Marcus.

They had us arrive at 10 AM with the rental lasting until 1 PM, though we had to watch a 20 minute safety video and get lifejackets and everything so by the time we got in the boat and started off, we had about 2 1/2 hours left. I guess that's why they give you the third hour free? Fuel was extra though, which we didn't realize. Regardless, we felt it was well priced compared to other places where renting a boat could be double or triple the price. our boat was clean and looked practically brand new. We really appreciated that there was a cover/canopy on the boat to give us shade. We had amazing weather and the whole trip was lovely. I would definitely recommend doing this.
