Reserve the entire Hot Voyage sauna boat for your group of up to 12. The experience begins the moment you board: step into the hot cedar sauna, cool down with the freshwater or saltwater shower, relax in the upper lounge, gather around the table in the lower lounge with your food and snacks, and play your own music while cruising through Burrard Inlet toward Carraholly Point. Once the boat is anchored, your group can also enjoy optional swimming, floaties, the paddleboard and the onboard 360° camera.
The two-hour voyage gives your group the complete Hot Voyage experience in a shorter, easy-to-book format. The cedar sauna is hot when you board, and every onboard amenity other than water activities is available right away. Sauna while cruising, cool down with either of the two showers, enjoy the views from the upper lounge, or gather around the table in the lower lounge with your own food and snacks.
The route travels through Burrard Inlet toward the sheltered waters near Carraholly Point. Once anchored, optional swimming, floaties, the paddleboard and the onboard 360° camera may be used with captain approval. Guests who prefer to remain onboard can continue enjoying the sauna, showers, lounges, music, food and scenery.
Connect your playlist to the six-speaker sound system and enjoy the entire boat without strangers onboard. For a full group of 12, the voyage works out to CA$50 per person, per hour.
Arrive 15 minutes early, shoes into the bin, quick welcome and safety briefing. The cedar sauna is already hot — first rounds start while we’re still pulling away from the dock.
Sauna, rooftop deck, your playlist on six speakers. Watch the shoreline slide past the sauna’s panoramic window with a cold drink in hand.
We drop anchor in a scenic, sheltered lagoon. Ocean plunge off the boat, paddleboard and floaties in the water, saltwater deck shower for the undecided — then straight back into the heat.
One last round as we cruise home. Rinse off in the freshwater shower, change in the private washroom, and step off warm, calm, and reset.
You board in the Port Moody area — the gateway to the sheltered, calm waters of Burrard Inlet and Indian Arm. The exact meeting spot, map pin, and arrival instructions are sent right after you book, so your group lands at the right dock on the first try.
Arrive 15 minutes early. Time to find the meeting point, drop outdoor shoes in the storage bin, and confirm waivers before departure.
Boarding is direct or by tender. Depending on tide and dock access, you’ll step straight aboard or take a short, scenic tender ride out to the boat — crew guides you either way.
No outdoor shoes onboard. Go barefoot or bring clean, indoor-only flip-flops. A bin is provided for your shoes at boarding.
