if LIFE is like a BOX of CHOCOLATES, then it is time to CRUISE LIKE GUMP  

 
we're very pleased to add the world famous JENNY to the fleet - made famous in the movie FORREST GUMP - you too can be a shrimp boat captain on your summer charter cruise
 
NOT the right flavour? how about our THREE LITTLE PIGS edition sailboat meant to take that annoying new boat resin smell out of the experience?


 
 
perhaps you can't decide between a cruise and a big road trip?  our boat/car option might be just for you

 
act now and we'll ensure you have a lifetime supply of powdered lemonade from the large stash in NORTH VANCOUVER - seen last night on our VANCOUVER HARBOUR CRUISE! (limited to what you can get aboard your vessel)
