Enjoying time on the water with family and friends is one of the most rewarding experiences in life. Moments like these create unbreakable bonds with those we hold dear and bring us closer to the nature that surrounds us. The previous owner of Oriana, the late John Calley quoted Kenneth Grahame and said:
“There is nothing- absolutely nothing- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats… simply messing…nothing seems really to matter, that’s the charm of it.”
John Calley was President and CEO of Sony Pictures; he was one of the most prolific producers Hollywood has ever seen, and he was an avid yachtsman. Oriana was his pride and joy and he loved to share it with those around him. It is an honour to carry on her legacy and be able to share this rare work of art with others. There are other yachts but none I have seen have the soul and the character of Oriana. Maintained in pristine condition, Oriana will provide you with all the ambiance, grace and style of the classic by-gone era of yachting. Luxury as it should be.
Welcome aboard Oriana where you can expect sumptuous luxury, impeccable craftsmanship, seamless service and world class cuisine. From the day you decide to experience Oriana until the moment you return home, our team will be there to serve every request and design a journey for you unlike any other.

GULF ISLANDS
It is truly a breath of fresh air to experience untouched nature, as it was tens of thousands of years ago. There is no better way to do this than by yacht. Vancouver Island to the west and the multitude of smaller islands create a dense barrier that protects these passageways making the area perfect for a pleasant cruising experience.
From sandstone caves to towering Douglas Firs, majestic Arbutus trees and our iconic Cedars, the Islands protecting the coast of British Columbia are nothing short of spectacular offering breathtaking scenery, unparalleled wildlife viewing and whale watching.
Although many of the islands are completely raw and uninhabited, there are plenty of bustling small island towns full of life, culture and things to do. Salt Spring Island is just one of those spots with a thriving arts culture, quaint restaurants, shops and markets to enjoy. Silva Bay, on Gabriola Island, is a beautiful protected bay and may be one of the most scenic anywhere.
DESOLATION SOUND
The tiny region of Desolation Sound allows you to explore the true and untouched natural beauty of British Columbia. With its majestic mountains, spectacular fjords and unique wildlife, this area is considered one of the top cruising destinations in the world. Take a hike through the coastal forest, admire natural waterfalls and enjoy a swim in the warm waters of the Salish Sea. The long summer days of exploring the area easily shift into a relaxing gourmet dinner while taking in breathtaking sunsets and magnificently clear starry nights.
