Did you manage to accomplish what you set into motion during the inevitable rainy months? Was this truly the best summer of your life just like you promised yourself it would be, or was it…

The same as every year.

Fear not, fall may be just around the corner, but there’s still plenty of time to make this summer your most memorable yet. You just have to get out on the water.

Based in Downtown Vancouver, Mirage Cruises is the only themed party boat rental service in the city to offer custom charters operated on its one-of-a-kind tropical-themed boat, guiding you and your party (in more ways than one!) on a kitschy, cute and totally extraordinary passage through  B.C.’s magnificent coast.

Truthfully, being onboard is like indulging in the ultimate beach bum experience while being on the water at the same time. The boat itself, affectionately named Island Oasis, offers 45 feet of vibes, complete with palm trees and sand-textured flooring. With room for up to 28 people, Island Oasis is also equipped with all the modern amenities you could ask for, ensuring comfort and enjoyment throughout your journey, including ample seating and a booming sound system.

Mirage Cruises currently offers six packages, but can also accommodate custom packages and routes based on your needs. Their Harbour Tour showcases some of the city’s most iconic views and includes passage through English Bay into Stanley Park and under the beautiful Lion's Gate Bridge. You can enjoy cocktails, BBQ on board, tan and swim as your captain and crew guide you safely from destination to destination.

The team at Mirage Cruises is composed of highly skilled and experienced captains and crew members intimately familiar with Vancouver's coastal waters. Their extensive knowledge and expertise ensure smooth sailing and provide peace of mind, allowing you to relax and fully immerse yourself in the beauty of your surroundings.

Speaking of which, Mirage Cruises also offers special packages for the Celebration of Light, where you and your party can enjoy the fireworks from the best seat in the city; right on the water.

If you’re looking for more fun and creative ways to make your evening on the water special (maybe for an engagement or bachelor/bachelorette party), be sure to get in touch with the Mirage Cruises team as they can create a personalized itinerary that will truly live up to the occasion.

And if you don’t make it out on the water this year, no worries; Mirage Cruises operates year-round, bringing palm trees, sand and good vibes no matter the weather.

A three-hour booking minimum is required to ensure a leisurely, unhurried trip. The rates, which can be viewed here, cover the cost of the boat rental, crewed with a captain, deckhand and fuel. No additional surcharges are applied. You can view all of Mirage Cruises' packages and rates here.

When you’re looking to celebrate with friends, sometimes a dinner reservation simply won’t do. Sometimes a celebration, whether a birthday party, reunion, big achievement or family gathering, deserves something special.

Sometimes a celebration deserves…

A tiki-boat.
