BC from a river point of view

The lush Coast Mountain Range provides a breathtaking backdrop of BC from a “River point of view.” The 100 passenger paddlewheeler Native and the 40 passenger catamaran Beta Star have a busy spring-through-fall schedule, some cruises even run all year round! Some of our destinations include trips from New Westminster to Ladner, Fort Langley and the back-county wilderness of Pitt Lake.

We also offer shorter lunch cruises, beautiful sunset dinner cruises, (and more!) year-round starting in February. Featuring great food, with many locally-sourced and organic ingredients from the galley, drink specials invented by our awesome bartender, Willie, gather up your friends and family and join us for an unforgettable time on the river.
