The late-afternoon sun lowers over Okanagan Lake as a 46-foot Hunter heels gently and the village of Naramata slips along the shore. Guests step aboard at the Naramata Marina and feel immediate change: wind, light on water, and space. For four hours the yacht becomes a classroom and a social lounge—sails trimmed, sheets taught, or loose for a lazy drift; paddleboards and swim spots are frequent stops.

The late-afternoon sun lowers over Okanagan Lake as a 46-foot Hunter heels gently and the village of Naramata slips along the shore. Guests step aboard at the Naramata Marina and feel immediate change: wind, light on water, and space. For four hours the yacht becomes a classroom and a social lounge—sails trimmed, sheets taught, or loose for a lazy drift; paddleboards and swim spots are frequent stops.
The lake sits in a glacially carved valley; rocky benchlands of the Naramata Bench rise to vineyards and orchards that have shaped local culture for a century. The climate is semi-arid, producing warm, clear water in summer and exposed basalt and sedimentary shelves along many coves. This is Syilx Okanagan territory—First Nations have lived off these shores for generations, and the region’s wineries and summer visitor economy date to early 20th-century settlement.
Expect an experiential mix: basic sailing instruction, steering a well-balanced yacht, hoisting sails, and the option to jump in or paddle. Photographers will find vineyard frames and glassy reflections; families will appreciate gentle motion and supervised swimming. Safety gear, PFDs, paddleboards, and cool storage are provided.
Practical tips: meet at the wharf near Manitou Park; wear closed water shoes (no sandals), bring layers, sun protection, and a towel; pack any alcohol or snacks you’ll consume. Conditions change—check wind forecasts and arrive with a light windbreaker. Respect wildlife, pack out trash, and follow crew directions for a smooth four-hour outing. Bookings typically accommodate small groups; maximum six guests per shared booking only.
