Why you should go…
Providence is a historic tall ship built in Denmark in 1903 that spent its working life as a fishing vessel, coastal freighter and charter boat. In summer it runs day sails from Port Sidney Marina, where you can bring a picnic and help hoist the sails or take the helm. Three-day voyages as guest crew leave Port Sidney Marina on Tuesday mornings and travel to Pender and Saltspring islands. The ship is Transport Canada certified for 24 passengers and is also available for private charters.
