Subject: JUST ADDED - one sailboat and one powerboat

We have just added two boats to the fleet.  Arcturus will be a brand new 2011 Bavaria 32 that will be delivered in April and is destined for the Powell River fleet.  She is the first of the new generation Bavaria Yachts to head into a charter program anywhere in North America.  Bruce Farr is known for designing boats with excellent sailing characteristics and Arcturus is certain to benefit from this new design style.  The massive fold down transom platform is impressive (and our dock crew is glad they don't have to glue foam to the underside of the stern seats - which perpetually fell overboard on the older Bavarias)

The other addition is Cachet, a Carver 430 with a spectacular layout.  This well equipped boat is undergoing a host of updates this winter so she will be fresh for the 2011 season.  Check out Cachet and reserve today out of our Sidney location!

Here's a great chance to own a late model 46' sailboat in beautiful Port Sidney.  This boat is spotlessly clean and just thoroughly tested after her re-assembly from a road trip across the continent.  She sailed over from Europe last winter to Miami and has the size and the equipment for another adventure - Alaska?   

The boat is at the dock here at Granville Island and we have long term moorage available at beautiful Port Sidney if someone acts fast AND she is owned by a GST / HST registrant so one can buy the boat for the charter program and claim the GST / HST back - vs. the brand new tax on 'Designated Property' that applies specifically to boats that are not owned by a GST / HST registrant.

Contact Roger to arrange a showing of this great vessel.   Details are on the brokerage site.

Coast Hunter, the massive and beautiful Queenship 64 has arrived at our Port Sidney base and final touches are underway after an extensive list of upgrades this past winter.   Coast Hunter is very well equipped, luxurious and truly a one of a kind boat in these waters.   This vessel is available under bareboat arrangements. Very experienced qualified skippers* will enjoy the autopilot, on board computers and other features.   With with the myriad of systems and toys aboard, we would strongly suggest less experienced folks also choose to add a crew member and / or skipper to take charge of this vessel.   Contact the office or drop by Port Sidney today!



* qualifications / experience would stem  from owning or having owned or extensively operated vessels this size with proper insurance in place
Subject: Lagoon 400 "Amritha" joins the fleet in Sidney

The latest addition to the sailing fleet is "Amritha", a brand new 2010 Lagoon 400 to sail from our Sidney location at the beautiful Port Sidney marina.  Final commissioning and sea trials are underway, but she will soon be at her new home.  This is quite likely the largest 40 foot boat we have ever seen.  She has three large staterooms each with their own head, plus accommodation in the salon and forward through the foredeck hatches for your able crew.  This boat is loaded with options.



We are particularly impressed with the lines which lead to a central station to port so that tacking can be done without moving from side to side (or with less crew)  Electric winches lighten the load and help pull up the square top mainsail, a real plus in those light wind summer days. 




  Contact our office today to get started booking this fine vessel.

Perhaps your ship has come in?  To enjoy boat ownership these days, you first must find moorage for your boat.  Well, Cooper Boating has a couple slips available, especially special in that we have a couple spaces at the world class PORT SIDNEY marina for boats coming into our management program.   Management boats offset ownership costs with charter revenue in our proven program.  For more information on yacht management with Cooper, contact Colin.

We are also happy to help you with the purchase of your boat.  One coming shortly is a Bavaria 46 FOUR CABIN.  Contact Roger for information on this boat.

This boat comes with a warning - get support for your neck.  Why? Because she's sure to turn heads. 

Following up on the success of Maverick and Sainte Reine II in the fleet, Halo is the latest addition from this French yard and the boat has very aggressive styling  and fantastic sailing characteristics.   Unlike the other two, Halo is offered in our Sidney location.
