BRAND NEW QUAD YAMAHA 450 OB's If you were designing the ultimate fish boat, it would be hard to argue with this being up near the top of the list. This newly repowered 2021 Coastal Craft is the perfect balance of performance, craftsmanship and rugged elegance.

YachtingBC and Island Life Expeditions are excited to be playing a significant role in the upcoming relaunch of the Antigua Charter Yacht Show this December. For the "Charter Life" video competition for attending yachts at this years' show, the winning crew will win a day experience in Desolation Sound.

This 2004 Zodiac Hurricane inflatable with a jet drive is an exceptional vessel for exploring the rugged and remote wilderness of British Columbia. Built with military-grade durability, its heavy-duty Hypalon tubes and rigid hull offer strength, buoyancy, and safety even in unpredictable coastal or river conditions. The compact design allows easy trailering and launching from remote beaches, forest access points, or shallow tidal creeks that larger boats can’t reach. The jet drive propulsion delivers outstanding maneuverability and safety in shallow or debris-filled waters such as estuaries, glacial rivers, and inlet backchannels. Without an exposed propeller, it can glide over submerged logs or rocky shoals that define much of BC’s wild coastline and freshwater systems. This makes it ideal for wilderness photographers, anglers, or adventurers seeking hidden coves and untouched terrain. Lightweight yet incredibly stable, the Zodiac handles swells and chop efficiently, while its fast planing performance reduces travel time between remote anchorages. The simple, low-draft setup also requires minimal maintenance compared to traditional boats. Whether navigating the misty fjords of the North Coast, the salmon-rich rivers of Haida Gwaii, or the serene stillness of Desolation Sound, the 2004 Zodiac Hurricane jet offers unmatched versatility and confidence in Canada’s wild waters. The pontoons have recently been serviced in 2022, with new VHF, AIS, chart plotter and radar in 2022 as well. Boat also includes a triple access trailer. LOA: 24’6″ BEAM: 9′ POWER: 315HP Yanmar 6LPA-STP Diesel coupled with a Hamilton Marine Jet Drive (450 Hours) HULL: Aluminum
