Alan McGillivray has made good on his promise to add another $3.5-million catamaran to his fleet.
The president of adventure tour operator Prince of Whales vowed he was thinking about it when he unveiled his first 95-passenger catamaran this year. He made it official when the company announced it has contracted a Vancouver shipyard to build a sister ship to the Salish Sea Dream.
ABD Enterprises of North Vancouver will build the second ship, which will launch in the spring of 2019 and be based in Victoria.
“Leading up to this year, tourism in this city and Vancouver has been fantastic,” said Prince of Whales spokesman Ben Duthie, noting their ridership and demand has gone through the roof and allowed them to make this kind of investment.
