About Cayinfoaz - Your Trusted Yacht Charter Partner in Canada

Our Story

Founded in 2013 by maritime enthusiast Captain Patrick McCarthy, Cayinfoaz began as a dream to share the unparalleled beauty of Canadian waters with fellow adventurers.

What started as a single yacht operation in Vancouver's False Creek has grown into Canada's most trusted luxury yacht charter service. Our founder, a former commercial marine officer with over 25 years of experience navigating the Pacific Coast, recognized the need for a yacht charter company that prioritized both luxury and safety.

The name "Cayinfoaz" combines elements from the Coastal Salish word for "journey" and "azure," reflecting our commitment to creating transformative journeys across Canada's pristine blue waters. Today, we operate a fleet of premium vessels and have welcomed over 15,000 guests aboard our yachts.
