The traditions of this wooden boat can be fully appreciated on a cruise of the scenic Gulf Island, off Vancouver Island, or in the Vancouver Harbor. From the fabled medieval Griffin on the funnel, to the selection of table linens, to the impressive mass of the engine room, and the view from the wheel room, the Pacific Yellowfin offers the utmost in comfort and a very, real sense of tradition and history.

Built in the traditional plank on frame carvel method of construction, this 120-foot twin-screw freighter yacht has been refurbished with careful thought using the finest hardwoods of teak, mahogany, and oak.

Passionately restored by Mr. Peter Whitaker, and completed by the Griffinson family, the Pacific Yellowfin is a truly special addition to the wooden boats of the Pacific Northwest.
