At Cooper we make your charter vacation easier and more enjoyable by allowing you to plan and book your vacation online. Cooper has the newest yachts of any charter fleet in Canada which means less down time and more worry-free vacation time for you. Our late model sailing and power yachts come from a selected manufacturers offering you a wide selection. Some yachts are designed and built specifically with chartering in mind – easy to operate, easy to service and maximum accommodations. Others in our collection are more traditional pleasure yachts with less accommodation, but fabulous for smaller groups looking for a little more comfort. When cruising our yachts, they become yours for the holiday; we pride ourselves on not emblazoning them with advertisements.
Our sailing fleet sports features which may include roller furling foresails and mainsails, electric windlasses and fully enclosed cockpits. Our yachts are as easy to sail as they are fun. The power fleet has a variety of single and twin engine configurations, various bow and stern thrusters, plenty of canvas protection and both displacement and semi-displacement models. Check the details page for each yacht as the wide selection also generates a plethora of equipment combinations.
With the best boats in the business, three great locations and a range of services that smaller companies just can’t match, our competitive rates offer the best value. With even better values in the off-season and our one-of-a-kind cruising club and flotillas, we’re making boating a pastime for everyone. You also save time and money by coming back to explore different areas of the coast and still having the same professionals handle your boating requirements.

At Cooper Boating we have a handful of options for those who are seeking to venture on the water for a short period and can not commit to the 5 day minimum that a majority of our Charter Fleet require.
This is the perfect quick fix to get you on the water, and also a perfect way to get involved here in the Cooper Community.
First is aboard our Aquila 44 Power Catamaran – Infinity.
This vessel is available any season with flexible departures. This luxury vessel is perfect for personal, business and pleasure based boating experiences. It’s spacious, 3 level design can take up to 16 guests.
Services:
You can charter this vessel for a minimum of 3 hours at $350/hour.
For those who would rather harness the power of the wind for a few hours, we offer options aboard our Martin 244’s and our Catalina 28 – Escape.
The Martin 244’s are part of our JIBSET Club and are available for day charters provided they are not already booked off.
Our Catalina 28 – Escape is a bit larger than the Martin 244’s and is better suited for more experienced sailors. It is an excellent getaway option for the day.
