Part of BIV’s What big money buys series: Wealthy Vancouverites are lavishing untold amounts of money on big-ticket indulgences, driving a bonanza for the region’s dealers in luxury furnishings, vehicles, yachts and other top-tier toys.
Given Vancouver’s location on the Pacific Ocean, it’s hardly surprising that one of the top-selling toys for Vancouver’s wealthiest residents is a yacht or high-end fishing boat.
While the number of Vancouverites who own superyachts, like billionaire Jim Pattison, appears to be relatively low, there is such a big demand for smaller pleasure craft in the 40-to-60-foot range in B.C. that Tim Charles, principal owner of Platinum Marine, recently launched a new line – Tactical Custom Boats – for that market.
Luxury models are driving yacht and fishing boat sales in B.C.
A new marina in Victoria highlights the growing demand for superyacht moorage in B.C. The 28-slip Victoria International Marina, which opened in May, can accommodate up to 12 superyachts in the 100-to-120-foot range, and one up to 175 feet in length. The first 40-foot yacht being built at Platinum’s shipyard on Mitchell Island will cost $1.5 million and comes with a mini submarine and drone.
“We have a 43-inch-screen television that pops down,” Charles said. “You can sit at the screen and you can explore hundreds of feet underwater. It has a grabber arm on it so you can see and touch and pick up things underwater.”
Tactical is also building a 77-foot US$6.5 million yacht.
“It is military and navy-grade aluminum hull construction,” Charles said of the Tactical series. “So it is a very heavy-duty boat, but it is completely done with yacht finishes.”
Platinum also owns Crescent Custom Yachts, which builds superyachts ranging in size from 100 to 150 feet and with prices that range from US$14 million to US$24 million. Crescent’s customers are almost exclusively international – mostly American – but Charles expects that nearly all buyers for the new Tactical yachts will be from B.C.
“It’s something the market’s been asking for,” Charles said. “I would say 95% of all of our customers are business owners. The amount of business that’s done on people’s yachts and boats is just tremendous. It’s a business sales tool for many people.”
Another growing demand in the Vancouver market is for luxury fishing boats, said Bob Pappajohn, president of M&P Mercury Sales, which sells both yachts and fishing boats.
“The luxury fishing boat segment has been just incredibly strong,” Pappajohn said. “We are seeing a trend toward higher luxury. One of the biggest trends right now that’s really fuelling this is we’re getting people buying who haven’t owned a bunch of boats before and are really new to it.”
One of the more popular models is a 42-foot Boston Whaler fishing boat that sells for $1.8 million.
Pappajohn said yacht and fishing boat sales have been very healthy in the last few years in Vancouver.
“We’ll sell a half a dozen boats a year,” he said. “Back in 2009-10, it was amazing if you sold one.”
Not only is the number of high-net-worth individuals in Vancouver rising, it’s also becoming easier to pilot a yacht or fishing boat, Pappajohn said, thanks to technology like joystick steering that makes docking a modern boat a cinch.
“The biggest reason for the increase in sales is that it’s more accessible, it’s easier to do, and, yes, there’s more wealth,” Pappajohn said. “Even people spending a lot of money for a day boat to go fishing, they want the high-end one.”
As for the bigger, more luxurious yachts – superyachts or megayachts – Vancouver sees its fair share of them, although many are owned by wealthy Americans. The most spectacular yacht to grace local waters might be the Attessa IV, which can sometimes be seen in Coal Harbour.
It’s hard to miss, and not just because of its size (332 feet). The yacht comes with a small helicopter. It also features a swimming pool, a 12-seat theatre and four guest rooms.
The Attessa IV is owned by Dennis Washingtion, the American billionaire whose Washington Companies is the largest shareholder of Seaspan Corp. (NYSE:SSW), the world’s biggest independent charter owner and manager of container ships. According to Forbes, the Attessa IV is valued at $300 million.
Pattison’s 150-foot Nova Spirit yacht is valued at $25 million, according to SuperYacht Fan. According to MSN, it costs $72,000 just to fuel the yacht, which has a nine-person crew.
Estimating how many superyachts are owned by British Columbians is difficult, partly because some of them might be registered outside of Canada. But Craig E. Norris, CEO of Victoria International Marina, estimates that anywhere from 50 to 100 yachts in the 65-foot-and-up range are owned by British Columbians.

That discovery also put B.C. resident Sherry Brydson on the list as the richest woman in the country.
Pattison’s namesake conglomerate, the Jim Pattison Group, has dozens of businesses that together awarded him an estimated personal fortune of $9.5 billion.
That came as news to Pattison this week. “I haven’t done the numbers, so I really don’t know,” Pattison said in a Monday telephone interview with Bloomberg. “I never pay attention to that.”
What is not news to Pattison is the scale and scope of the collection of business lines that feed his coffers.
Pattison’s business holdings all began with a Pontiac Buick car dealership in 1961, according to the group’s corporate information. By the end of the decade, his business-lines grew to include radio and newspaper companies, a grocery store and an advertising company.
Through the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s, his holdings in those key fields grew to include dozens of companies, as well as new assets in shipping, fishing and finance.
After the turn of the millennium, he expanded into packaging and entertainment. The group boasted sales of more than $7.5 billion in 2012 — the fruit of more than 35,000 employees working at 470 locations across the world. It dubs itself the second-largest private company in Canada.

The Bloomberg estimate of Pattison’s $9.5-billion personal fortune exceeds a recent Canadian Business magazine estimate that put him at about $7.4 billion. He owns a corporate jet and a 45-metre luxury yacht, Nova Spirit, which is often moored in Vancouver’s Coal Harbour. But he is also a generous benefactor, having donated millions — mostly to hospitals. In 1999, Pattison gave
$20 million to Vancouver General Hospital for a prostate research centre, and in 2011 a $5-million donation to Surrey Memorial Hospital for an outpatient care and surgery centre.
For five years in the 1980s, Pattison was in the public eye daily as the chairman of Vancouver’s highly successful world’s fair, Expo 86. He was paid a dollar a year for his services.
Thomson, the man who previously held top spot on Bloomberg’s list, lost footing in the most recent ranking on information from a person familiar with the Thomson family’s finances who asked not to be identified because the company is closely held.
He has a net worth of $4 billion, according to the Bloomberg ranking, which had attributed the entire Thomson family fortune to him since its inception in March 2012.
Thomson owns about 14 per cent of Woodbridge, the Ontario-based firm that manages the family’s assets, notable among them a 55 per cent stake in Thomson Reuters Corp., the world’s largest financial data company.
In addition to his stake in Woodbridge, Thomson owns Osmington, a commercial real estate developer, a collection of John Constable paintings and a minority interest in the Winnipeg Jets hockey team.
Brydson — a cousin of Thomson’s and the richest woman in Canada — landed on the list at No. 3. Brydson owns at least 23 per cent of Woodbridge.
Through Westerkirk Capital, her Toronto-based family office, she also owns a turboprop manufacturer on Vancouver Island, the Moose FM radio network in Ontario, and a hotel developer in Nova Scotia. Together, the low-profile heiress has a fortune valued at $6.5 billion, according to the Bloomberg ranking, making her the richest woman in Canada.
Brydson lives in a home overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca in Victoria.
“Most people don’t know she exists,” Trevor Cole, a novelist and journalist who has written about the family, said in a phone call from his Toronto office. “People who read the paper know the name Thomson and know that they are rich people, but beyond that they have no sense of them.”
Brydson, whose age couldn’t be confirmed, is one of six members of the Thomson family who have never appeared on an international wealth ranking. She and four of her first cousins are the first Canadian women to be identified as billionaires, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Galen Weston, whose grocery and retail fortune is valued at $8.7 billion, sits at second spot on the Bloomberg ranking.
The Pattison Group’s business lines stretch across the North American landscape. Here are some of its more recognizable brands and industries:
• Outdoor advertising
• Overwaitea Foods, including Save-On-Foods, Urban Fare, Western Family brands and others
• Buy-Low Foods, including Nesters Market and others
• SunRype fruit beverages and snacks
• Ocean Brands, the second-largest canned seafood brand in Canada
• Canadian Fishing Company, including Gold Seal canned seafood and B.C.’s largest company fishing fleet
• Western Family food brands
• 30 FM radio and three TV stations in Alberta and B.C.
• Auto sales and leasing across 11 brands including Toyota, Lexus, Subaru, Hyundai, Volvo, Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge
• Guinness World Records
• Ripley Entertainment
• Westshore coal export terminals
• Styrofoam and other disposable food packaging
• Softwood lumber company Canfor
• Four Everything Wine locations in B.C. and Alberta
