Coming into the Inner Harbour in Victoria....
If you gotta go somewhere for the holidays, why not right next door? And…why not let Shannon & Bill Bailey take you with the Pacific Catalyst? I asked Shannon how it all works, and here’s the scoop:
Friday Harbor to Victoria Trips aboard the MV Catalyst:
December 3-5, December 10-12 and December 17-19, 2010
Pacific Catalyst
These voyages are three day, two night round trips from Friday Harbor to Victoria, BC. We will depart from Friday Harbor at noon of Friday and sail to Victoria’s Inner Harbor, mooring directly in front of the majestic Empress Hotel. We will depart Victoria at noon on Sunday; thus allowing us Friday night, all day Saturday and Sunday morning to explore Victoria’s museums, galleries and shops. There will be time to arrange for side trips to Buchart Gardens, the Imax, or just stroll through the seasonally decorated streets of the downtown area, enjoying the diverse dining and shopping opportunities found in this amazingly international city. Pacific Catalyst provides the boat transportation between Friday Harbor and Victoria, lunch on Friday and Sunday, and breakfast on Saturday and Sunday.
Cost is $550/person for en-suite Staterooms and $450/person for shared bathroom staterooms. All prices double occupancy. Please remember that this is an international voyage; a current Passport will be required. Some other restrictions may apply for entrance into Canada, so if you have concerns please discuss them with us, or consult the Canadian Customs and Immigration website.
Note: The actual departure and return times may be adjusted to better coordinate with the Washington State ferries winter schedule.
In the evening....

“This was another especially great trip on your wonderful boat. We really enjoy visiting Victoria, so cruising into the harbor and having easy access to the city was a special delight. We liked spending time with you, your friends, and the other passengers. This was a trip that provided some great conversations and special memories. Thanks a bunch for having us along.” Z & R
