Like sailing into a children’s adventure story! The crew members were personable and attentive and the wildlife sightings (humpbacks and orcas, dolphins, bald eagles, sea creatures at low tide) exceeded our expectations. The zodiac and kayak excursions were expertly guided, and the food was fresh and delicious. Bonus: our fellow travellers were congenial and fun. I felt like a kid again, scrambling around this storied vessel that once belonged to Greenpeace. Heads-up: if you have balance issues, do not book a lower-deck cabin as the staircase resembles a stepladder.

A friend and i traveled on the Curve July 1 2025 we had a wonderful time. We toured the Broughton Islands and down to Desolation Sound. Our group were amazing people and the crew could not do enough to make sure we had a great experience. Allen the cook prepared great meals and everyone helped the guests. We kayaked and road zodiacs several times a day and visited land at various islands. I saw my first Sea Otter and many whales. We saw over 100 eagles on a point in the trees.

This was an amazing experience! We were greeted by enthusiastic and energetic crew. Made new friends and memories as we travelled together. The boat, food, kayaking zodiac excursions and campfires were everything we’d hoped for. Whales, waterfalls, eagles, sea lions brought us great joy. Thanks to Sylvain and Debbie our wonderful hosts.

Just coming off the most amazing cruise through the Broughtons and Desolation Sound. The Curve of Time is an experience that exceeded our expectations. The crew is the happiest and most dedicated collection of knowledgeable and experienced people we have ever met. The Captain has a neverending collection of stories that had us rolling with laughter.The meals were culinary feasts that left us delighted and fulfilled. The tour guide is very knowleadgeable about the sea life in the entire region. This tour is a must for anyone wanting to have a once in a lifetime experience.

We had a fantastic time. Kayaking, whale watching, visiting, crabbing, (and lots more!!), and the amazing experience of living on an 85’ ship. We loved our little cabin and bunk beds. It was all so different from our everyday life. After a while we forgot about the outside world. We had Starlink, but were so distracted by the beauty of the Broughton Archipelago that our phones were ignored. The crew are amazing. They are such a happy, enthusiastic and helpful group. It was very hard to end our trip and say goodbye to new friends. We look forward to returning for another great adventure.

This was an amazing five days! The crew was exceptional and they looked after all your needs and became family. The food was beautifully prepared and was delicious. We had fresh caught crab for lunch which was amazing! Our daily tours were selected for places that had whales, sea lions, sea otters, eagles. Kayaking, zodiac tours around the islands happened every day and ended around the camp fire which turned into wonderful talks between new friends and family. Highly recommend this awesome tour for your next vacation around Broughton Archipelago Islands in British Columbia. This is truly an adventure that you will remember forever.

I just came back from the Broughton Archipelago charter. I had a wonderful time. There was so much to see, wildlife, scenery and culture. The food was as good as promised. One big thing? I am a little unsteady on my legs. They couldn't have made me more comfortable and able to participate. I would upload photos of porpoises, deer, bears and starfish but can't figure out how to do it. Oh, and the engineer let me start the engine!

We got to experience so much during our tour of The Gulf Islands! The day we spent at the Galiano Islands was one of the most memorable and best days of my life. The crew was on top of everything and just excellent. They would give us a written schedule of the day's itinerary the day before, including the weather and how to dress and the items we would need to be best prepared for the following day. And review and answer any questions we might have prior to the next day's activity. Very helpful! We also had such an amazing crab dinner that was freshly caught and served, which was one of the best seafood meals I’ve ever eaten. I’ll be back on the Curve Of Time in the following years and thank everyone who made it so memorable.

I highly recommend this trip as the itinerary includes everything you will want to visit in Desolation Sound! The extensive itinerary was well-organized and led magnificently by our Tour Director, Sylvain. Our group will never forget our days at Brem Bay, Teakerne Arm, Squirrel Cove, and so many more wonderful, memory-packed days. Thank you, Sylvain, for your caring attitude. You made this such a memorable trip.

This was my first group travel and I really enjoyed the trip. The accommodations were great and the food was delicious. What made the experience even greater was the awesome captain Matthew. He was really knowledgeable, fun to be around, and you could tell he’s just so passionate about being on the ocean. One of the moments I’ll never forget is when we spent one of our days out at squirrel cove. It was the most tranquil, peaceful, and beautiful place I’ve ever seen. We had a chance to take out 2 kayaks that were available to us, and we adventured close to the shore on water that was so flat it looked like glass! I recommend this tour to anyone that is looking to explore British Columbia from the water, and I can’t wait to sail the Gulf Islands next year.
