Lady Rose Marine Services

Great outing for the day and back from PA to Bamfield. Fantastic weather, scenery, and stories were told on the Frances M Barkley. Services are available on board.

A group of friends spent a stellar day aboard the Frances Barkley yesterday. From the moment I reserved our spots, to the time we disembarked, the staff and crew treated us exceptionally well.The scenery was breathtaking and the captain pointed out places of special interest as we passed, as well as taking us closer to wildlife in order to get better photos. We were treated to viewing several sea lions basking in the sun and enjoyed listening to them bark.We had delicious and reasonably priced breakfasts and lunches on board. It was fun watching freight getting unloaded onto a homemade barge — reminding us the Frances Barkley provides a valuable service to the people of the Port Alberni inlet. We also enjoyed an hour walk around Bamfield before our return to Port Alberni.All in all, a fabulous day! Thanks to everyone at the Lady Rose Marine Services!

We recently went on the Lady Rose and it was a great experience. The staff that run the boat are very courteous and friendly.If you don't want to pack a lunch, the galley below serves great food for a decent price. Breakfast was awesome. Bring cash though for food as that's all they accept.Depending on the amount of freight they need to drop, you can stay in Bamfield for 1-2 hours. The boardwalk is nice, but I wished I had time to go see Brady Beach. The general store has pretty much everything you want and they do accept debitOverall, an awesome trip for a very fair price.

This is a must do! What a great way to spend a day on the island. Great food, a few alcoholic beverages for those that do The scenery is absolutely breathtaking. Walk the boardwalk in bamfield or walk out to the Brady's beach.Staff at the office and ship board staff are the best!

Wonderful trip down inlet to Bamfield and back. Crew are fantastic and meals delicious.

I took the Frances Barkley to Ucluelet and back and it was a very relaxing day. The weather was great so I could seat outside as much as I wanted.The Broken Islands are beautiful. Did not see much wildlife that day though.

volker_k_gradyWe feel like true Islanders after experiencing the Alberni Inlet, while sailing on the Frances Barkley supply ship two days ago. We loved the stunning scenery even in winter and so appreciated the educational and highly entertaining narration by the Captain, crew and owner. I sincerely commend Mr. Willmon (new owner) for extending invitations to the Public to help designate all proceeds this month to Port Alberni charities. Please support Lady Rose Marine Services, which under new ownership continues to serve as vital lifeline to numerous Inlet based communities, businesses and Government Services. This is truly a one of a kind day trip I highly recommend to you, your friends, family and of course Island visitors. #ladyrosemarineservices #alberniinlet #bamfieldbc #tourismvancouverisland #portalbernitourism
