Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of weather conditions will we likely encounter?
A: Weather along the coast in the spring can be quite variable. The heavy rains and fog, which are responsible for the large stands of spruce and cedar, fall primarily during winter months. One should expect the variety of weather that creates the many moods for which this area is noted. Air temperatures in May range from 10° to 22° C (50°-70°), although the sea breeze can have a cooling effect.


Q: How big are the groups?
A: The maximum group size aboard the Ocean Light II is 9 guests plus the crew.


Q: I am single traveler. Do most people come with a partner or friend?
A: The average group consists of two couples, a couple of friends and single travelers with usually an even ratio of male to female. Because of the limited berth capacity aboard the vessel, single cabins are not available but instead you will be sharing one with another single traveler of the same gender. A berth will be assigned to you upon your arrival on the boat.
