Pacific Swift
Set sail on a vessel that was literally built to be a masterpiece. The Pacific Swift is a stunning square topsail schooner that combines the elegance of an 18th-century heritage design with the rugged durability of a modern offshore explorer. Launched in Vancouver for Expo '86, she has since become a legend of the Pacific Northwest, offering one of the most authentic tall ship experiences available today. Why book a voyage on the Pacific Swift? This isn't a cruise where you watch the world go by from a deck chair. On the Swift, you are the engine. Under the guidance of seasoned professionals, you’ll learn to navigate by the stars, haul the heavy canvas of the square topsail, and stand watch as the ship cuts through the swells of the Salish Sea or the open Pacific. Life on board is a masterclass in community and grit. Whether you’re exploring the remote inlets of British Columbia or embarking on a legendary offshore passage, the Pacific Swift offers a rare escape from the digital world. It’s a place where the rhythm of the tides replaces the ring of a phone. Ideal for adventure seekers, youth looking for a life-changing challenge, or families wanting to bond over the "salt life," this ship provides a raw, powerful connection to the sea. Experience the spirit of the 1778 Swift on a modern-day legend.
