Hey Shaun,
Thank you for such an amazing stay on your ship! It was the most amazing way to unwind after our wedding and kick off our honeymoon. You made us feel so comfortable and showed us an amazing time. Thanks again for truly going beyond any expectation that we possibly could have had and making our stay unforgettable! We are still telling everyone about it 2 months later!! We will definitely be back and just want to thank you again for an unbelievably amazing vacation!

Hello there,
We stayed at the Innchanter in 2007 on our honeymoon and it's still the most amazing place I have ever stayed. Hot springs all to ourselves, wonderful company, fabulous food, phosphorescence in the water at night, water planes landing mere feet away from the boat, eagles flying overhead. Oh god, I want to go back there now!
Thanks for an amazing time.

What we desire for ourselves we wish for all...
A perfect vacation in an awesome setting. From the great food and wonderful hosts to the way the tide plays with the pools of the hot springs everything about our stay was amazing.
Thanks for making our trip to the West Coast absolutely unforgettable!

La côte ouest de l'île de Vancouver a bien des attraits : la forêt pluviale tempérée, la côte sauvage du Pacifique,
son climat agréable (bien qu'humide !). Autour de Tofino se développe rapidement un tourisme de moins en moins nature,
et de plus en plus bisness. Le meilleur moyen de profiter des richesses de cette côte, c'est donc de quitter la terre,
tout simplement.
Plutôt que de faire une sortie de 3 heures en bateau, le mieux est de dormir sur l'océan ; et le seul bateau qui vous offre,
c'est celui de Shaun, l'"InnChanter" le bien nommé !
Si le confort pourra paraitre légèrement sommaire à certains, c'est parce que l'accueil de Shaun, et ses repas vous feront
oublier que vous êtes sur un transporteur de marchandises en bois des années 20, que Shaun a lui-même réaménagé. La salle à
manger est un must, entièrement vitrée, panoramique sur la mer et l'océan.
Dans ce bras de mer calme (car la houle du large tout proche est cassée par des îlots), le bateau est ancré à 200 m du
ponton des Hot Springs Cove, un endroit courru dans la journée ; mais vous aurez le privilège de vous y baigner seuls,
de nuit come de jour.
Vous voulez faire du kayak ou du bateau à rames, marcher dans la forêt, lire sur l'histoire des Nations Premières ou
les richesses naturelles de la région : Shaun a tout cela dans sa besace, et vous l'offre.
Et si vous le lancez sur la philisophie, l'environnement, la politique, vous ne pourrez pas l'arrêter...
Mais ce que chacun attend avec impatience, c'est ce qu'il aura cuisiné ! Ses brunchs de 10 heures comme les diners sont
toujours plein d'inventions et de délicatesse.
Bref, nous avons aimé les 3 nuits passées à bord, les rencontres (car personne n'arrive jusque là par hasard),
l'écoulement du temps, le passage chaque matin des aigles, cette ambiance de bout du monde, où ceux qui arrivent en
bateau croisent ceux qui repartent en hydravion 4 places comme on prend un taxi en ville.
Quand vous passez à Tofino, dites que vous allez chez Shaun : "Oh, you'll love it !".
Shaun porte une part de rêve de ceux qui restent à terre...

This is the perfect place to propose - and the food, as always, is spectacular! Thanks so much for such a great time. This place is truly magical.

Hello Shaun,
Tonight we will miss not getting "rocked to sleep". And we will miss you, the InnChanter and your cooking skills 🙂
We'll be back * Magnus, the viking & Catharina ('98 ... '99 ... '02 ... '07 ... '09 ...)

We had a really wonderful stay. The boat, the hosts, the food, the scenery and the hot springs are all magical! Perfect, I'm going to recommend this to all my friends.

Hey! I stayed last November with a few friends and had the most magical time....now I keep telling everyone they need to visit. This is a fantastic experience with so much fun and natural beauty. WOW. Can't wait til I can come back.

Bravo! Our trip was a dream-like experience filled with gourmet food, quaint sleeping areas, bioluminescent waters, and of course one of the best hot springs. Fabulous cooking by chef Shaun. Thank you, we will tell our nice friends.

Loved Shaun and the Innchanter. Great mix of energy between the location and the people who visit and of course, the host!!!!

One of the most wonderful places I know! If you love nature, good company, great food, hot springs, the sea and the woods, tasteful interiour design, and a warm welcoming atmosphere - this is where you should go. I keep fond memories of my two stays at Shaun's boat, and will definitely come back. If it only wasn't that far away from Switzerland...
