Crew

Crew Information

Captain: Colin Griffinson

All crew are fully vaccinated against Covid and will Covid test 48 hours or less prior to charter.

Impeccable service and generosity are what best describes our crew, who endeavor to go above & beyond our guests’ wishes. Their knowledge of the coast, experience on the water and incredible personalities are great assets of the journey aboard Pacific Yellowfin. However, though always keen on sharing travel anecdotes or out of the ordinary happenings, they know when to vanish and let guests relax, enjoy themselves and make the most of these magnificent landscapes.

Colin Griffinson
CAPTAIN
Birthplace: Dublin, Ireland

Our resident storyteller and charismatic Captain holds a deep affection for wooden vessels, the open ocean, and the unique experiences he has come to be privy to when immersing himself in a combination of the two. An explorer at heart, with over five decades of sailing expertise, he’s available to impart seafaring wisdom, share insightful stories, and instigate a laugh or two from adults and children alike.

Reviews

July 2022, now booking September 2023
Note: This USA 3 generation family came in July 2022 for a Desolation Sound for 7 nights, and are booking September 2023 in the Great Bear Rainforest. Comments: “The little kids did great. The chef was a wonderful person, and his food was delicious. The crew were so friendly and nice. We love the Captain and all the stories. Many fun hiking adventures up to lakes. The slide was a blast for the kids. Whale experiences!!!!!. Clam digging oyster gathering, fishing. etc. etc. etc.!”
Family Charter
The trip was a total success. Things could not have been much better with the Yellowfin. Her accommodations and her crew were just as I had hoped if not a bit better. The food was very good and the chef was flexible enough to satisfy everyone. Colin and the crew ensured that we never wanted for any activity. Their intimate knowledge of the area is priceless as is their unending patience with the kids. We have chartered several times in the past and can say without doubt that Colin and his crew are the best ever.

"This trip ranked up near or at the top of the trips we have taken with our family. The crew was incredible displaying a genuine interest in making sure every detail was addressed and that everyone had a ball. Colin has assembled a very eclectic group of amenities on Pacific Yellowfin which I dont think could be easily replicated elsewhere. I believe that the itinerary covered some of the most beautiful places on earth. Our family was exposed to activities that we had not previously experienced. From motor biking on the islands to the 40 foot waterslide to gathering our own oysters the verdict by my family and friends was unanimous! Guilty of having too much fun! Thanks so much for referring us to Colin! We highly recommend this trip to anyone!"
A tremendous experience.
A tremendous experience. Beautiful scenery, excellent accommodations, superior captain and crew, and delicious food. This trip was a wonderful adventure for us.
Fabulous!
Thanks, thanks, thanks. I am so happy I had the chance to discover this beautiful area. I think words are not enough to describe the breathtaking scenery. The trip was fabulous and so perfect. Life on board is peaceful. The Pacific Yellowfin is an interesting yacht, extremely comfortable and stable. She is maintained in an amazing condition by her wonderful crew! Captain Colin is a very nice and attentive man, and lover of his beautiful area.
Rave review
Dear Colin, I just spoke with the family about their summer charter. They said everything was fantastic, and particularly noted that this was the best culinary week of their lives (and that is saying a great deal, as they are very well traveled). Mr. H spent half an hour on the phone recommending PACIFIC YELLOWFIN to the next clients! Thanks again for your superb program.
