You Can Rent A BBQ Boat With Your Friends In Vancouver For The Ultimate Summer Float

Bump this up to the top of your summer to-do list.

Contributor

If you're looking for the ideal summer activity, you've officially found it. Vancouver's BBQ boats are the perfect way to spend a day on the water with up to seven of your closest pals.

The boats fit up to eight people and you'll hop in on Granville Island for a tour around False Creek. While you'll be the captain of your own ship, you will get a 30-minute tutorial on how to use the boat and BBQ during your journey.

The rest of the two-and-a-half-hour time slot is simply for chilling, eating, and taking in the views.

You can choose between a sunrise, breakfast, brunch, lunch, midday, afternoon, evening, or sunset booking and it's up to you to bring anything you want to eat or drink while on board.

This is a great way to soak in the sun and enjoy a meal with your friends. Feel free to drop anchor anywhere you like along False Creek and kick back.
