Munin Sailings Schedule

The Munin sails year round, usually on weekend mornings or early afternoons.  It is not available for sailing while on display at the Midsummer Festival in Burnaby each year on a weekend near the summer solstice (June 21st), and during the Wooden Boat Festival at Granville Island on the last weekend of August.  There are no late-afternoon or evening sailings on days of the Celebration of Light fireworks competition held on English Bay in late July and early August.  Sometimes a sailing will be cancelled on the dock at the discretion of the captain due to high winds (which make it difficult to row), heavy rain or thick fog.  We offer special sailings around Yuletide Solstice with LED Christmas lights, music, blankets, hot food and non-alcoholic beverages.
