Bluewater Adventures COVID-19 News

COVID-19 News

As we lean into spring with that extra bounce in our step, we can't help but feel that nervous excitement that an upcoming season presents. Next week, 2022 Crew Training takes place to ensure that crews are up to date on their certifications like Wilderness First Aid, and commercial bear guide training through the CBVA . It is one of the only opportunities that the whole Bluewater crew can stand shoulder to shoulder in one place, at one time. Marine safety protocols become firmly understood and the Gwaii Haanas Guide Orientation refreshes our ability to welcome you to a very special place along side Haida Watchmen. Crew bonds are formed and restored after a long and unexpected hiatus. We are energized and enlivened and we look forward to sharing this with you soon...

BLUEWATER ADVENTURES COVID-19 Best practices
Check back here often for updates

Please note that the Bluewater Adventures Covid-19 Best Practices apply to the 2022 operating season only. We will share our updated Communicable Diseases Plan closer to the start of the 2023 season.

Launching into 2022!

Bluewater Adventures has followed COVID-19 safety information collected from provincial and federal health authorities over the last 2 years. Although British Columbia and other provinces and countries around the world are removing their mandates, Transport Canada has updated recent ship safety bulletins as cruise ships return to Canadian waters for the first time since 2019.

Because Bluewater Adventures' expeditions host passengers onboard for more than 24 consecutive hours, we fall under their "small cruise ship" (under 100 passengers) category and are meant to follow protocols created to control COVID. We are clearly far from being a cruise ship, but these guidelines do apply to us to ensure we have the best and safest experiences aboard our ships this year.

Please see the updated Bluewater Adventures COVID-19 Best Practices, created to help us all navigate continued COVID-19 mandates. If you have any questions, please contact the Bluewater office and do check back here often, as we do expect further updates into the summer.

If you are eager to finally get out on the water this year and haven't booked with us yet, we still have trips available - contact us!
