Take a tour of the Butchart GardensThere is plenty to do once you have boarded the luxurious and quality built 63' yacht known as Captains Impatient! And if you are looking for a relaxing holiday away from the crowds in a private setting then look no further. Aboard the Pacific Northwest's most luxurious yacht, you can have the holiday of your dream from spending hours lounging in the sun, reading your book to exploring the rarely seen beauty of the area's hidden gems. Or you can visit the floral displays of the Butchart Gardens, 55 acres of the most beautiful national historic site of Canada. Sailing from coal harbour, just 25 minutes from the Vancouver airport, the Captains Impatient! is ready to take up to 25 guests for an afternoon jaunt to the gardens in Greater Victoria on Vancouver Island. If you want to take a longer trip, the yacht sleeps 6-8 comfortably and can turn an afternoon of sightseeing into a weekend getaway to some of the most hard to find places that our Canadian west coast has to offer. The best way to enter the Gardens is from the dock where you disembark and enter the Gardens through the “secret” entrance. You can spend as much time as you like on an unhurried tour where you can explore the gardens, lawns and fountains that make up one of the world’s premier flower shows. Take the time to enjoy a leisurely lunch or tea at the either the Gardens’ restaurant or cafeteria. From the Gardens, sail Captain's Impatient! On a tour of the Saanich Inlet and enjoy the unrestricted view of rugged scenery and rich marine life that includes harbour seals, majestic bald eagles and the giant jellyfish that are abundant in this quiet deep-water fjord that's beauty draws scuba divers from miles around. One of the best dive spots in the area is Christmas Point, a boat dive on the south-west shore of the Inlet that is known as one of Vancouver Island's best dive sites. Because the best life to see is at depths of 100'-120' it is considered an intermediate to advanced dive site. Tides and currents are not a concern in the area but the algae and plankton are in full bloom and can be a problem in the summer months. Visit the Butchart Gardens and stop and take in the great scenery below the surface of the waters of the area aboard Captains Impatient!
