Retro Boat in Quiet Marina, Whale Watching, Sea Otters and Lions, Crab Fishing
Step aboard our meticulously restored 1924 seine boat, moored in the picturesque Paradise Marina of Cowichan Bay. This historic vessel, originally crafted for the bustling fisheries of its time, has been lovingly preserved and retrofitted to offer a unique blend of old-world charm and modern comfort.
As you step onto the deck, you'll be greeted by the sturdy craftsmanship of a bygone era. The boat's rich history is evident in every plank and fixture, meticulously maintained to retain its authenticity while ensuring a comfortable stay. Inside, the cozy interior invites you to relax and unwind, with a tastefully appointed sleeping area, a compact kitchenette equipped with essentials for preparing light meals, and a dining space that offers panoramic views of the marina.
The allure of staying aboard extends beyond the boat itself. Paradise Marina provides exclusive access to a range of amenities designed to enhance your experience. Wander along the marina's tranquil boardwalk, where the rhythm of lapping waves and the calls of seabirds create a symphony of coastal tranquility. Take in the panoramic views of Cowichan Bay, known for its abundant marine life and stunning sunsets that paint the sky in hues of orange and pink.
For those with a passion for boating, Paradise Marina offers convenient facilities and services to ensure a seamless stay. Whether you're docking your own vessel or simply seeking to immerse yourself in the maritime lifestyle, the marina's friendly atmosphere and scenic surroundings make it a perfect haven.
Beyond the marina, Cowichan Bay beckons with its charm and natural beauty. Explore the quaint shops and galleries that line the waterfront, where local artisans showcase their crafts inspired by the sea. Indulge in fresh seafood delicacies at waterfront restaurants, savoring the flavors of the Pacific Northwest served with a side of ocean views.
For outdoor enthusiasts, Cowichan Bay offers ample opportunities for adventure. Embark on a kayaking excursion to explore secluded coves and hidden beaches, or set out on a hiking trail that winds through lush forests and offers panoramic views of the bay and surrounding islands.
As evening falls, return to the tranquility of your seine boat retreat. Sip a glass of local wine on deck as the sun dips below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the water. Watch as boats gently sway in the marina, a reminder of the timeless allure of life on the water.
Whether you're seeking a romantic escape, a family adventure, or a solo retreat, our 1924 seine boat offers a truly unique accommodation experience in Cowichan Bay. Immerse yourself in maritime history, coastal beauty, and the serene ambiance of Paradise Marina. Your unforgettable getaway awaits aboard our historic vessel.
