🚤 Looking for a summer adventure ? @pinkboat. 🚤 Looking for a summer adventure ? 

@pinkboat.ca offers one of the most unique ways to experience Metro Vancouver’s incredible coastline. 

Families can hop aboard Vancouver’s eye-catching pink double-decker private boat lounge and head out to explore beautiful waterfront scenery just minutes from the city. We love that it works especially well for families with older kids, tweens, teens, and multi-generational groups looking for something memorable to do together. 

Relax on deck, enjoy music, take in incredible views, swim on select experiences, and create the kind of summer memories kids actually talk about long after summer ends. Experience Vancouver from a whole new perspective!
