CANADIAN ADVENTURE CHARTERS

Discovering The Undiscovered.

Canadian Adventure Charters (CAC) is redefining the frontier of ocean exploration, adventure tourism, scientific discovery, and sustainable development. At the heart of CAC is a rare and world-class expedition platform, anchored by our dual standby Research Explorer Ice-Class Vessels, equipped with advanced submersibles, ROVs, long-range drones, and a fully operational helicopter, Zodiacs, landing craft, and all-terrain Sherps, purposely built for the harshest and most remote environments on Earth.

These aren’t simply ships; they’re floating command centers capable of deep-sea research, cinematic storytelling, and humanitarian response, anywhere on the planet. From the Arctic to the Equator, CAC is building a next-generation Mega Port and Expedition Hub, a fully integrated headquarters featuring cutting-edge laboratories, film and broadcast production suites, a public aquarium, and global central command for operations, logistics, and conservation science.

Our team brings together a coalition of elite professionals: polar experts, naval engineers, marine biologists, award-winning filmmakers, Indigenous knowledge keepers, climate scientists, and veterans of elite exploration programs. Backing this mission is a powerful syndicate of venture capital investors, family offices, international ocean institutions, and global brand partners who recognize the urgency, and opportunity, of charting a new course for exploration.

CAC is not simply an adventure travel company. We are an exploration endeavor—a living laboratory, a mobile production house, a data platform, and a gateway to the last wild places on Earth. Whether through high-impact media, frontier research, or curated VIP expeditions, we are building the tools, the platforms, and the partnerships to explore deeper, document better, and protect more.

Welcome aboard. The next chapter of exploration begins here.

Top marks for CAC

This was the adventure of a lifetime! From the moment we boarded, the team made us feel like VIPs. Exploring the Arctic region was beyond breathtaking – from spotting polar bears and narwhals to hiking on untouched icebergs. Every detail, from the gourmet meals to the cozy accommodations, was thoughtfully planned. If you’re looking for a truly unique and awe-inspiring experience, this is it!

A great holiday!

I’ve been on several guided tours, but this Canadian adventure charter stands out. The staff were warm and welcoming, and their expertise in the Arctic’s wildlife and culture made the trip educational and exciting. We loved the small group size – it made the experience feel personal and intimate. Seeing the Northern Lights from the deck was surreal, and the photo opportunities were endless. I can’t wait to book my next trip with them!

This trip exceeded all my expectations. The landscapes of the Arctic are truly otherworldly, and the charter made it all accessible and comfortable. I appreciated their commitment to sustainability and respect for the environment. The team was always attentive, making sure everyone had what they needed, and the excursions – whether kayaking near glaciers or walking through tundra – were magical. I left with incredible memories, new friends, and a deep appreciation for Canada’s wild beauty
