Providing the atmosphere of private yachting with the comfort of cruising, Safari Quest is a 120-foot-long vessel that can reach the small bays and inlets that larger vessels cannot access.

Accommodating 22 passengers in 11 varying cabins, the vessel is comprised of three decks that allow ample space for wildlife viewing and photography. Other goodies include a hydrophone for listening to below-surface sounds and a bow-mounted underwater camera which transmits the action to the lounge and your cabin television. The food is excellent, the enthusiastic crew maintain a relaxed and entertaining mood, there are kayaks for the adventurous and even a hot tub for relaxation.

Why We Like Safari Quest

Safari Quest is an extremely comfortable motor vessel but strives to give its passengers a small boat yachting experience. Her size is key to experiencing the very best of the wildernesses she navigates and the 2:1 guest crew ratio ensures everyone is well looked after. With just 11 cabins, a trip aboard Safari Quest is a sociable fare with friendly crew members and an open bridge policy.

Activities

Wildlife viewing is certainly the focus, with excursions at least twice daily if possible by foot, skiff or kayak. Every trip is flexible and dictated by weather and wildlife activity. Paddleboarding, snorkelling, hiking and cultural encounters are also all included where possible.

Location

Safari Quest navigates the waters of Alaska, British Columbia, Canada and north-west USA.
