This fine vessel is owned by Mr. Don Wheaton. Cmdr. A. Reye Ret. USN 8/1/2011
AnswerThe actually belongs to the Ross family who live in Nanaimo BC, i know this because i went to school with the son and have been on it. AnswerDon Wheaton of Edmonton Alberta own the After Eight. After having eight children the owner bought the first 118 foot After Eight. This boat was sold sometime this year by Seymour Yatcht sales in Vancouver.The Wheaton's took delivery of the brand new 151 foot After Eigth just last week. The first trip was to Saltspring Island. They also made it to Atlanta in it.
AnswerI have heard the yacht After Eight is owned by Jimmy Pattison as a sometime charter boat.There is definitely a new After Eight, possibly the third. The original had a dark green hull possibly refitted with a white hull. About 118'.
This new one is about 150' and was in Ganges on the weekend. Very striking profile with two upper decks. Was docked on the side Ganges government seaplane dock. Came in on late Saturday and left Monday morning.
Today was told Oprah was on just on Salt Spring on Jimmy Pattison's yacht but the Nova Spirit (his yacht) was not here recently.
Nova Spirit is a frequent Ganges guest and I know here well.
Other press reports say Oprah is now on a Jimmy Pattison yacht up the North coast.

AnswerPossibly Pattison helps charter out the After Eight for the Wheatons. Herd he was a partner in her.The old After Eight was also a frequent guest to Ganges. Sometimes 2 x a week in the summer, suggests chartering.

INFORMATION
This Yacht was seen in the dry docks of Victoria BC getting a buff on its underbelly in Mid February. Suggesting that it has a local dock in Victoria.
It is definitely the Wheatons boat and no Jim Pattison is not a partner (the Wheatons are my godparents). It is owned by the father (Don Sr.) who is retired and hence why it is always out.
Cabin Cruisers can cost as little as $15,000 when purchased used. The price goes up as the features and length of the yacht increases. A 65' luxury yacht is advertised on the web for $2,199,000.
In 2009, a new 20-foot cabin cruiser cost under $50,000, a 30-foot weekender yacht cost around $200,000, 50-foot cruisers were around $1,000,000, and 100-foot plus yachts ranged from $8-10 million.
According to an article in Forbes, the most expensive yachts in 2005 had an average price of $64.37 million. with the most expensive, a 280 foot mega yacht, costing $103 million. The least expensive, a 157 footer, was $24 million. Since those are 2005 prices, it's safe to assume that the costs would be noticeably higher now.
Ongoing costs of owning a yacht are quite high and need to be considered before purchasing one. It wouldn't be any fun to purchase one only to find out that your budget didn't allow the costs of maintaining it and taking it out on the water!
How much do yachts cost? J.P. Morgan once told Henry Pierce "You have no right, or business owning a yacht if you ask that question." Seems a little stearn, and there's no harm in asking, but it seems like Morgan does have a point.
100 footers will run about $10 million and 160 footers will run about $40 million. I know that the annual maintainence cost of a 150' Feadship is $800,000. However, it is chartered 5 times a year at $150,000 a week. Chartering can offset cost if one is lucky.

Where would you see land yachts?
To my knowledge, the term "land yachts", has been used to refer to very large cars like Cadillac's, R.V.'s, boats on trailers that never get underway and yachts that sit in boat yards due to financial or other problems and never get u/w.

How is the location of the America's Cup Race determined?
Sorry, I'm no expert, but basically the team that wins the cup represents a country, and that country is the host for the next race series. Switzerland won it from New Zealand last time, and since Switzerland has no coastal water, they chose to race in Valencia, Spain for 2007 but they have choosen Ras al-Khairmah in UAE for the 2010 event. When we (the USA) had the cup for those 134 years or whatever it was, we had it off NY, I believe, since the NYYC was the club that had won it the first time. Many of the people involved, however, were from San Diego, and so when Dennis Conner lost it to Australia and then won it back, he brought the cup back not to NY but to SD. That's where he lost it again, to NZ, and it's been gone ever since. NZ had it in Auckland, because that's the "City of Sails" due to the harbor practically made for it... in other words, the NZ people decided that's where they wanted to have it.
1995 and 2000. Australia II won in 1983, not a New Zealand boat.
The super yacht TATS was sold in May 2012 (list price $17.9 million) by Jody O'Brien of Fraser Yachts, Ft. Lauderdale, FL to an undisclosed party.
