Jesper Rönngard, CEO of Navigare Yachting, announces that Fraser Yacht Sales of Vancouver, BC has joined as partner dealer, allowing the placement of new catamarans and sailing yachts into Navigare’s charter fleet in the BVIs, the Mediterranean, and Thailand.

Established in the mid-1990s, Fraser Yacht Sales has evolved into Vancouver’s premier yacht dealership for Canada’s west coast yachting community, with exclusive distribution of Jeanneau monohulls and Lagoon catamarans in British Columbia.

“Navigare’s success was built upon providing the best level of service and customer care in the charter industry,” explained Phillip Winter, Partner Manager for Navigare Yachting USA. “We owe it our clients to select the most customer-centric dealers in the Americas to support our growth. Our newest alliance with Fraser Yacht Sales honors this pledge.”

Fraser Yacht Sales founder and owner, Ian Fraser, commented: “More and more of our clients are considering buying their next yacht in a charter program. They wish to add more variety to their sailing holidays, and delegate maintenance to professionals. And let’s not overlook the upside of offsetting the cost of ownership through charter income! Navigare has earned a solid reputation as a charter operator, and offers very attractive programs: aggressive guaranteed returns, a flexible reciprocity program to sail anywhere in the world, and documented maintenance on all yachts!”

Fraser Yacht Sales and Navigare Yachting was represented at the British Columbia boat show on May 2-5, 2019, at Port Sidney Marina.

Join a Boating Club

In my lifetime I have been a member of 5 yacht clubs. There were big differences. The one that I grew up at, is where I learned to sail and to drive a motorboat. The second one didn’t have a clubhouse. All we did was race off the beach.

Enter Starcraft and its delightful SV 16 OB, an all-new-for-2025 family deck boat that elegantly balances comfort, amenities and affordability.

The Erie Canal – An Extraordinary Waterway

As I shift our chartered canal boat into neutral, I’m soothed by the soundtrack of bird calls, the occasional plaintive horn of a distant train and the hum of our engine.

I reach for the VHF to radio the lockmaster in charge of Erie Canal’s Lock 32 dead ahead. Our boat spins gently in the current like a maple key in a mud puddle.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
