Love or hate them? Multimillion-dollar superyachts are making waves in B.C.
Greg Norris walks along the docks at Victoria International Marina on a sunny Friday afternoon, fielding phone calls and making sure everything is flowing well.
Over on the mainland, a $200-million vessel called Attessa V has been drawing attention in North Vancouver. “Those yachts down in San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle and Tacoma that used to come up and just bypass us because they didn't know there was anything to do and now they're turning in and stopping and spending some time,” says Norris.
Sometimes superyacht owners will fly their friends in, and will put them up in nearby hotels, he adds. Crew members will often stay in hotels, too.Unfriendly Canadians? However, Canadians’ friendly demeanour and politeness appear to not have transferred to the superyacht community, Norris tells Glacier Media.
He questions if the animosity is because the public does not get to interact or be ‘welcomed into the community’ of superyachting.
