OTHER THINGS TO NOTE

DOG ON BOARD :
Meet Ellie! She is border collie that lives on board, is friendly, and likes to peruse the common spaces. However she knows the rules and remains out of all guest staterooms. One pup on the boat is unfortunately all we can allow. We can not allow guest pets during your stay.

ELECTRIC POWER RESTRICTIONS:
We generate power via solar panels and therefore are limited when it comes to charging personal devices. We do have some charging abilities at certain times of the day for smaller devices - phones, cameras, etc. However we can not power hair dryers, CPAP machines and any other personal electronic devices needing large power draws.

We recommend bringing your own battery packs if you have them to power your devices or do without them during your stay : )

ALLERGIES:
Please let us know of any food allergies at the time of booking so when can plan your dinner accordingly.

Best accomodation in Canada!

This was the best night during our stay in Canada! It's not only a unique place to sleep, but also great food and activities (we enjoyed the sauna, dips in the ocean and kayaking). Taylor and Josh are great hosts. Highly recommended

Such a unique experience!

We cannot say enough good things about our stay. Taylor and josh create such a welcoming experience! The boat itself has so much charm and uniqueness, the inlet is beautiful with sea lions, seals, and we saw a bear on the beach. Our bed was so comfortable and the food was amazing. We highly highly recommend this stay.

Unique and Amazing experience!!!

We absolutely loved our time aboard the InnChanter!! The whole experience was fabulous! We highly recommend this one of a kind experience. We came aboard, used kayaks to explore the surrounding area, sat in the beautiful cedar sauna, had a delicious dinner cooked and served to us and slept in wonderfully clean cabins that were decorated in the old school style of this antique ship. Couldn’t ask for a better experience. The hosts Josh and Taylor took wonderful care of us!!

Fun experience!

If you're looking for a different experience from your regular getaway, this is a fun way to do it. Anchored in the Ucluelet Harbour, you don't feel the motion of the water at all. You get the wonderful sea air, beautiful wildlife scenery and some awesome hosts! Josh and Taylor are very welcoming! The food that Josh prepares for breakfast and dinner is full of variety and very tasty. You get the experience (and pleasure) of eating amongst friends!

This is a very unique experience wiith almost 100 years of history. Beautiful breath taking views. Awesome food and company. The right blend of alone time and interaction. Clean, comfy and cozy quarters. Entirely off grid and eco friendly. Amazing, knowledgable and courteous hosts. My wife and I wished we stayed longer. Would definitely stay here again.

Awesome

A very unique experience, much more than your typical B&B. Josh and Taylor are the nicest hosts. Dinner and breakfast meals were great from the locally caught fish and homemade smoked salmon. Very thoughtful and well presented, delicious also. An interesting history of the boat was provided by our hosts and how it was converted from a commercial fishing boat to a hotel on water. Ellie the on board dog is a treat also, very nice and friendly
