Vancouver Yacht Charter Guide
The city of Vancouver or Victoria on Vancouver are popular bases for large yachts as the destinations are only 80 miles apart. For your charter yacht holiday enjoy both destinations as well as reach the ‘Bucket List’ destination of Desolation Sound, thanks to easy connections using local floatplanes. Distances on Canada’s west coast can be vast and Vancouver Island alone is the equivalent size of the Netherlands.
Vancouver is a seaport on the west of British Columbia and is one of the densest and most diverse cities in Canada. The thriving art and music scenes attract visitors from all over the world, and the high rises are filled with offices of many science and technology companies.
Vancouver Island can be found about 80 miles from the city, with a rugged west coast that is a popular surfing destination. Filled with lush rainforests, mountains and serene lakes set into many national parks, the scenery of Canada shows imposing natural beauty. Contrasting the silent drama of the surrounding landscape, the settlements of Canada have quickly grown into stylish cities, with boutiques, galleries, and high-rise buildings through which glimpses of the mountains can be seen.
Vancouver itself is one of the densest and ethnically diverse cities in Canada. Surrounded by mountains it is a mecca for all kinds of outdoor pursuits, with mountain biking and skiing being favorites. The thriving art, music, and theatre scenes attract visitors from all over the world, who enjoy walking the streets and mingling with the stylish Vancouverites to pick up a coffee in one of the many cafes.
