Boat Parties in Vancouver on Canada Day

Canada Day Weekend is a time of celebration across Canada. There are a large number of events on land in the Lower Mainland, as well as some on the water. There are different companies in Vancouver that offer party boat cruises at various times of the year. That includes July 1st and the rest of the Canada Day long weekend.

Beginning in either False Creek or Burrard Inlet in Coal Harbour, these cruises usually (but not always) take place in the evening and last for a few hours. They are held on large party boats and include plenty of music, drinks and dancing.

One of the foremost party boat companies in the city is Vancouver Boat Parties. They offer special cruises on various dates throughout the year and Canada Day is no exception. In fact, in 2024 Vancouver Boat Parties offers three different boat parties to choose from. One is on June 30th, while the other two take place on July 1st. See below for details.

About the July 1st Boat Parties
