Marine Services
SilverFox Marine Charters got its start in 1984 transporting forest workers through the inlets and waters near Port Hardy, later contracting with private logging companies and BC Forest Services (Port McNeill) from 1986 to 1998.
The MV ‘Silverfox’ is a Transport Canada certified passenger vessel that exceeds WCB safety inspection requirements. She sleeps up to four guests plus one crew member, and we carry full commercial insurance. A welded aluminum skiff handles shore access for personnel and equipment.
We are capable of operating anywhere along the BC coast, though during spring and summer the Silverfox is dedicated to fishing and eco-tours. Marine charter services are available during the off-season from October through April.
The Silverfox is available for charter for a wide range of purposes, including but not limited to:
- Forestry Work
- Environmental surveys
- Wildlife or Marine Mammal Surveys
- Shore Studies or Work
- Engineering
- Forestry Work
- Commercial Diving
- Marine Construction
- Live aboard camp, with support vessels for shore access or work.
Whether you need a camp boat, a field studies vessel, or something else entirely, we can accommodate your group.
