our history

Over 25 Years of Ocean Adventures

Established in 1998, Seabreeze Adventures has been a pivotal presence in the marine tourism industry for over 25 years. What began as a humble fishing charters company founded by three passionate commercial fishermen, has now grown into a vibrant community dedicated to making once-in-a-lifetime experiences a reality.

From fishing charters to whale watching eco-tours, our journey reflects a lasting bond with the ocean and its wild residents. We take pride in not just observing, but being guardians of the deep and actively protecting the incredible marine life we are privileged to encounter daily.

Today, we are a close-knit family of seasoned captains, knowledgeable naturalists, and dedicated office staff. We come from all over the globe, but it’s our passion for the sea and marine life that links us together, shapes our past and continues to guide our future.

Proudly Anchored in Steveston’s Legacy

Originally established as a small fishing community in the late 19th century, Steveston BC quickly grew into one of the largest salmon-canning centres in the world. Despite the challenges of economic shifts and changing industries, Steveston has kept its historic charm, with many well-preserved heritage buildings. Today, Steveston blends its fishing legacy with a vibrant local community, and we’re proud to be an integral part of it for over 25 years.

Conservation & Education

Environmental Stewardship in Action

We strictly follow ethical whale watching guidelines, such as keeping our distance from the whales, practicing parallel viewing at slow speeds, alerting recreational vessels when whales are in the area, and leaving when there are too many boats. We avoid viewing resident orcas due to their critically endangered status. Our choice in smaller vessels not only provides a more intimate experience to tour goers, but also reduces underwater noise impact on the surrounding wildlife.
