Who Buys Our Boats

Kent Harrison Search & Rescue

Posted on: August 23, 2021

This 26′ Landing Craft Cabin – San Juan was built for the Kent Harrison Search & Rescue located East of Vancouver, BC. They originally formed in 1976 and rely on grants and donations to provide their services. Their mission statement: ‘Kent Harrison Search and Rescue, as a registered non-profit society, delivers a professional-quality search and rescue service to the community by developing and maintaining resources to safely, efficiently and effectively resolve incidents outlined in the risk assessment of the area. We will conduct search and rescue missions when requested to do so by the authorized requesting agencies for lost or missing persons, or persons in distress in the province of BC without charge. Our goal is to save lives.’

This particular vessel was built to be a rescue boat in order to access remote lake shores of Lake Harrison. It is the largest lake in the southern Coast Mountains of Canada, being about 250 square kilometres (95 mi²) in area. This vessel will join their varied and specialized fleet of rescue vehicles.

We are proud to have built this boat and appreciate all that the KHSAR do! A special thanks to Ian and the entire team.

Sooke Whale Watching

Posted on: April 19, 2021

In 2018 Sooke Whale watching saw the potential in a retired Silver Streak speed boat and brought this legendary vessel back to the water serving as a tour boat off of Sooke, BC. This year 2000, 28’0″ Offshore Silver Streak was a one-off construction specifically built to enter into a 580 nautical mile race around Vancouver Island. This boat circumnavigated around the Island on July 1, 2000 enduring some seriously rough seas and 30-knot winds but this boat prevailed crossing the finish line in Victoria Harbour unbeknownst to them as the only remaining participant. The time: 16 hours, 30 minutes and 32 seconds and the boat was worse for wear cruising to the finish with a smashed windshield, electronics ripped from their stations, two outboards barely hanging on to the transom and four extremely exhausted crew.

The race did not continue on after this and this boat was retired sitting empty for nearly 20 years before Paul of Sooke Whale Watching saw its potential.

After months of revitalizing and upgrading at Silver Streak Boats this speed boat was brought back to former glory. The ‘Racer’ proudly and swiftly transports sight-seers out to some of the best whale watching spots our coastline has to offer. Check out Sooke Whale Watching to learn more!
