M.V Native: Our 100-passenger Paddlewheeler is an authentic replica of the paddlewheeler, or sternwheelers, that have plied the Fraser River in British Columbia since the 1830’s. Carrying everyone from pioneers, fur traders, gold rush miners, and family passengers from the communities along the Fraser River, those working boats were vital connections between B.C. communities and peoples along the Fraser River. The M.V. Native is fully certified by Transport Canada.
