Yoho Cruises

Last reviewed: August 3, 2026. Business status: Active.

For couples researching a Yoho Cruises wedding venue in Vancouver, the current official website confirms a private event-yacht option based at Granville Island. The company presents its yachts for wedding ceremonies and receptions, with waterfront views, customizable dining and full bar service. Its dedicated wedding page also promotes a four-hour wedding cruise, although the site does not provide a complete package specification or public rate.

The official business identity is current and well supported: the Yoho Cruises name appears throughout the official domain, and its wedding, fleet, location and contact pages consistently provide the Vancouver address and current telephone number shown here. This profile was last reviewed on August 3, 2026, using only first-party pages for business claims.

Services and specialization

Yoho Cruises specializes in private cruises and yacht-based events. Its wedding information addresses both intimate ceremonies and lively receptions. The documented wedding offering includes waterfront views, customizable dining and full bar service, with an events team involved from the planning stage.

Food formats linked from the official service pages include charcuterie, passed canapés, buffets and plated menus, along with a separate beverage menu. The catering page says customized menus may be requested and that the team is able to accommodate most dietary restrictions and allergies. Couples should still provide exact allergy and dietary details before accepting a proposal.

• Wedding ceremonies and receptions aboard a yacht
• Four-hour wedding-cruise option promoted on the wedding page
• Customizable dining, catering and full bar service
• Inquiry-based event planning through the company’s events team

The yacht and event format

The current fleet page documents the MV Carousel II as a 115-passenger event yacht. It describes three outdoor decks across multiple levels, an indoor dining and bar area, and a sky lounge with panoramic views. These are documented physical features rather than a guarantee that every area will be available or arranged the same way for a particular wedding.

The official site does not publish wedding-specific seated capacity, cocktail capacity, floor plans or sample layouts. The 115-passenger description therefore should not be treated as the practical wedding capacity. Couples need a written event layout based on their guest count, dining style, entertainment and accessibility requirements.

• MV Carousel II is the vessel currently detailed on the fleet page
• Indoor dining and bar space is documented
• Three outdoor decks and a sky lounge are documented
• Wedding-specific layouts and usable capacities require confirmation

Service area and who it may suit

Yoho Cruises is located on the north side of Granville Island, near the Granville Island Ferry Dock. Its vessels are docked west of the company office. The homepage also mentions pickup locations in Coal Harbor and North Vancouver, but couples should confirm which departure and return point applies to their date and package.

The format may suit couples specifically considering a private Vancouver wedding cruise, a combined ceremony and reception on the water, or a reception with both indoor and outdoor yacht spaces. It may be less straightforward for anyone who needs unrestricted movement between the venue and shore, so boarding times, late-arrival procedures and guest mobility needs should be discussed early.

• Granville Island office and vessel location
• Additional pickup locations mentioned by the company
• Relevant to ceremonies, receptions and private wedding events
• Departure logistics should be matched to the guest plan

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Confirmed features include a dedicated wedding service, private yacht setting, multiple outdoor decks, an indoor dining and bar area, customizable food service and a full bar. The same official domain provides a current inquiry form, location information and direct contact details, giving couples a clear route for requesting a proposal.

Important limitations are gaps in published information. The site does not provide wedding package inclusions, wedding-specific capacity tables, accessibility details, weather policies, cancellation terms or current rates. It also advertises a special gift with a four-hour wedding cruise without identifying the gift. These points are not negatives about the venue, but they should be clarified before comparing quotes.

• Documented multi-level indoor and outdoor event areas
• First-party wedding, catering, fleet and contact information
• No public wedding capacity chart or complete package list
• Key operational and contract terms require direct confirmation

Pricing

Prices are not published on the official website. The services page instructs prospective clients to contact Yoho Cruises for a customized quote, and the wedding page routes couples to the events team.

Request an itemized proposal tied to the date, hours, guest count, vessel and service format. It should identify the cruise or venue fee, food and beverage charges, staffing, taxes, gratuities or service charges, overtime, docking or pickup costs, rentals and any minimum spend. Older prices shown elsewhere should not be treated as current first-party pricing.

• No current public wedding price or per-person rate
• Customized quote required
• Ask for all mandatory fees and minimums in writing
• Confirm deposit, payment and cancellation terms

Contact and booking

Yoho Cruises lists its office at 1699 Johnston Street on Granville Island. The official contact number is (604) 688-6625, and the published email address is info@yohocruises.com. The contact and wedding pages include an online event inquiry form.

The location page publishes office hours of Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. These should not be assumed to be cruise or event hours.

What couples should confirm

Before paying a deposit, ask the events team to identify the contracted vessel, approved guest capacity for the proposed layout, exact sailing duration, boarding time and departure point. Confirm what happens if weather, marine conditions or another operational issue changes the planned route or use of outdoor decks.

The written agreement should also address accessibility, washrooms, children, vendor access, décor restrictions, music and sound equipment, alcohol service, meal timing, allergy procedures and setup or cleanup responsibilities. Couples using photographers, entertainers, officiants or other outside vendors should confirm their boarding schedule and whether additional vendor charges apply.

• Vessel, layout and wedding-specific capacity
• Departure point, route, sailing hours and boarding deadline
• Weather contingency and cancellation or rescheduling rules
• Accessibility and guest-mobility arrangements
• Included rentals, staffing, catering, bar and cleanup
• Outside-vendor rules and load-in requirements
