I also provide charters if you would like to take the yacht out to other beaches. Please enquire about costs.

 

GETTING AROUND

Please note the boat is anchored in the centre of Falsecreek, therefore you will require access to the tender to get to and from the boat and the dock. You will have the option to either row yourself (approximately 10 minutes each way) or request additional ferries back and forth from myself. Please note that aside from check-in and check-out, all additional ferries from myself will come with an additional charge of $15 each way, with the possibility of agreed upon exceptions. Please provide as much notice as possible.

From the dock there is a beautiful sea wall as well as easy walkability around downtown and Olympic Village. From there you will also have access to the water taxis, “Aqua Bus” and “Falsecreek Ferries”.

We are very close to Chinatown skytrain station, Olympic village skytrain station and Main St skytrain station, as well as lots of buses.

If you have your own car, there is lots of paid parking (street, garage, lots). There are also lots of options to get around if you don’t have a car, such as Uber, Lyft, Taxi, and EVO (local carshare).

ADDITIONAL RULES

-Young children must be supervised.

-Smoking only allowed outdoors (please use ashtray, do not tap over the side of the boat).

-No shoes indoors (place under benches or on the covered top deck).

-No toilet paper in the toilet (trash can available).

-3 minute showers as water is finite (pull drain knob located outside the shower before turning on the water and push in when finished shower).

-If you would like to book an event please talk to me about charters.

-If you row the tender to shore you must use the provided lock and chain to secure it to the dock every time (it will get stolen immediately). Please ask me where you can dock.

-Generator must be running for 5 minutes before bed, as well as when you operate the microwave, kettle or coffee maker (ask me how to use the generator).

-When you are finished operating the BBQ please turn off the propane (directly on the propane tank).

-When you are finished using the propane stovetop inside the cabin, please turn the “LPG Solenoid” fuse “OFF”.

-I suggest closing all windows and doors at night to reduce moisture.

-Do not attempt to operate the boat, pull up anchor or enter the engine room.

-Do not lean on the midship table or outside railings.

-If you hear beeping it is because the batteries are low and you need to turn the generator on briefly. Please use the yellow and black battery pack each evening as an alternative to plugging electronics into the wall.

-Please be mindful of excessive noise on the outside decks past midnight (there are others sleeping on nearby boats).

-If you damage or stain something please report it to me right away.

-No candles or open flame of any kind inside (Vapes are ok).

-Please treat this boat as if it were your home (because it is my home).
