Accommodation
Maple Leaf is a beautiful 92-foot schooner. The Coast’s Beloved, Historic Tall Ship Built of coastal Douglas fir, high elevation yellow cedar and mahogany, she is a tough expedition vessel and a work of artistry. Transport Canada Certified Maple Leaf is certified by Transport Canada as a passenger carrying vessel. This stringent, world-class desgination is the highest standard of certification for vessels in Canada (higher than most charter boats, sail training vessels, and fishing vessels, for example). Comfort and Beauty Maple Leaf’s accommodations are very comfortable. Mahogany and fir line the galley, dining salon and wheelhouse. The spacious main cabin is airy and divided by half walls and heavy curtains into four “cabins,” providing sleeping accommodations for eight guests. There are three heads (washrooms) aboard, all with hot running water and shower conversions. Unparalleled Access to Special Place Maple Leaf has an extensive library and three decks. Her sea-kindly attributes, long range, sails and size allow you to access extraordinary wilderness areas of the coast most people will never reach. She is outfitted for engaging with the natural world: rigid hull inflatable boats for accessing wildlife colonies and remote beaches, kayaks, a hydrophone for listening to whales, small temporary tanks for exploring intertidal life, GoPro underwater cameras, presentation screen & more.
