Under Covid, our family (grandparents and family) had the boat and captain to ourselves. Sherry was a very competent captain demonstrated by her navigating us safely through a sail boat regatta in a very congested area. We were out in morning low tide and she avoided all the rocks while taking us up close to the educational spots she hilited for us. Her breadth of knowledge of the history, the geology, the natural environment and life, and her up to date personal knowledge of and about the people all made the trip around the harbour worth every minute of the 1.5 hour trip. Thanks Sherry!!

Our little family went for a tour of Garden Bay with Slo Cat Captain and Tour Guide Sherry on a Saturday in August. What a great comfortable boat. Our day happened to be sunny but the boat has a cover and so could easily be employed in other weather. Sherry is a most competent captain and knowledgeable guide for the area and we were very interested in her points of interest and history of the Pender Harbour and Garden Bay. Alas, we only booked for an hour but would have been happy with a longer cruise with her. This tour is a 'must do' in Pender Harbour and a delightful way to spend some time. Thanks Sherry!!

The two of us had a private tour with Sherry due to Covid restrictions. The 90 minute version on a sunny day was the right choice, as we saw more of the area and had more time to chat than with the basic 60 minute tour. Sherry is very informative and friendly, and we learned so much more about the history of the area, its environment, and current goings-on than we could have learned driving around. We rank this as a “must do” on the Sunshine Coast.

Trevor & Jacob the dog gave us a great tour of some of the scenic areas on the Sunshine Coast. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and ensured we had a great trip.

The boat was comfortable and the sail was pleasant.

Would recommend Trevor as a guide, thanks for a great time!

What a spectacular way to see and learn about the beauty of Pender Harbour. Mark is the perfect tour guide providing all of the little nuggets about the area’s residents, its past and little hideaways. We will definitely take friends and family on this tour.

This tour was very expensive at $35 a head. We sort of stumbled upon this tour and never asked the price. We were told we could pay at the end, it was OK but nothing special. Moving around the harbour at 7 knots and view nice houses that surround the harbour. There were also some seals and a couple of eagles. However the price tag is far too high, in my opinion bad value for money. There were five of us and we were all aghast when we were asked for $35 each + tax.

We had an amazing time out with Mark on a brisk and sunny Winter day. The boat was so comfortable and the blankets allowed for the tour to be suitable for all types of weather. We saw gorgeous homes, wildlife and really appreciated the beauty of the area thanks to his insider commentary and the top notch binoculars. This tour is excellent value and I can’t even imagine how great it would be in summer or at sunset. It’s obvious he loves what he does and where he lives! A must-do when visiting this area.

Celebrating a friends birthday we took the slo-cat for a tour. Mark knew a lot about the harbour and area. The boat was super clean and comfortable and Mark had binoculars for us to enjoy the wildlife.
