Building both recreational and commercial aluminum boats, we know some of the greatest advantages of these builds beyond the exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, includes durability and fuel efficiency. In addition, at Tideline, we strive to differentiate ourselves in the aluminum boat market by focusing on also meeting our clients expectations for those who desire a finer finished interior. As they say, it’s what’s INSIDE that counts.

With over 27,000 kilometres of Pacific coastline, the province is home to some of the most diverse and productive marine environments in the world. From the sheltered waters of the Salish Sea to the remote fjords of the Central Coast and the rich ecosystems surrounding Broughton Archipelago, healthy oceans are central to the province’s economy, culture, and way of life. In addition to the yacht agency, marketing, broker, and event services we offer at YachtingBC, we are also focused on raising awareness and inspire action to ensure British Columbia’s oceans remain healthy and vibrant for future generations.

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 were serviced in 2022, with new VHF, AIS, chart plotter, and radar installed as well. The boat also includes a triple-access trailer.
