An expensive superyacht has been anchored in Vancouver waters over the past several days.
Owned by Brazilian billionaire Jorge Paulo Lemann, the 203-foot-long Anawa yacht is worth $100 million US dollars, with annual running costs of approximately $10 million, and is currently sitting in English Bay -- its final destination -- arriving on July 25 from Garden Bay on the Sunshine Coast.
The massive yacht was custom-designed and built in 2020 by Damen Yachting and is one of the company's "long-range, luxury expedition" SeaXplorer class crafts.
It can carry 12 guests and 20 crew and has a helideck and helicopter hangar that houses a Helibras 350 helicopter.

About the Maple Leaf
Outfitted for engaging with the natural world.
Maple Leaf is a classic, 92-foot schooner. She accommodates up to 8 guests in 4 semi-private sleeping areas, with 3 shared washrooms, and a crew of 4 or 5. Maple Leaf is a sea-kindly vessel with a long range. She can take you to the coast’s wildest, remotest corners more comfortably and safely than most other vessels. Her sails and 40,000-pound keel keep her steady, and her crew’s warmth and culinary delights keep your soul soaring.
Experience Life Aboard Maple Leaf
You have access to sites, phenomena and people you cannot get on larger ships, often unable to access the special areas we take you. What’s more, you have access to this in a very personalized, human-scale manner.
Ship Features
Built of coastal Douglas fir, high elevation yellow cedar and mahogany, Maple Leaf is a tough expedition vessel and a work of artistry.
A Classic Wooden Sail Boat
Her curved deck planks, mahogany and glass butterfly hatches, fir beams, mahogany cabinetry and the sweep of her long cap rail are a pleasure to look at.
Modern Comforts with Edwardian Elegance
Maple Leaf’s interior is in harmony with her heritage: modern conveniences and good space design, melded with a decor that nods to her Edwardian past.
Dining Lounge
Unwind with books, journaling, and conversations in our cozy onboard library and dining lounge. We dine on deck or in this lounge, depending on the weather.
From the tiny galley, Maple Leaf’s chefs produce incredible meals and snacks fresh each day. Enjoy fine meals and discussions about the day’s adventures with the crew and naturalist.
Wheelhouse Lounge
The captain and first mate skillfully navigate and plan routes here. They’re happy to share insights and explain the systems. This space features natural history guidebooks and showcases mahogany and Douglas fir craftsmanship that shines throughout the vessel.
Sleeping Areas & Heads (Bathrooms)
The main cabin accommodates eight guests with divided sleeping areas, each featuring large comfortable beds, storage space, reading lamps, and cozy bedding. There are three washrooms with hot water showers.
Maple Leaf has lots of deck space, on which people may choose to sit and watch the coast’s scenery, chat with others, steer the ship, or have quiet time alone.
Shore Boats
Our two zodiacs provide ample space and great access to explore along shorelines, up rivers, near wildlife colonies, and onto beaches.
While at anchor, enjoy one of our two single kayaks. The kayaks are stable and easy to use, with assistance from crew getting in and out.
Fishing Tackle
We have fishing rods and lures ready for jigging. Obtain your fishing licence prior to your trip and take a turn at jigging for halibut or lingcod.
Other Equipment
The ship provides guidebooks, visual aids, and a hydrophone to listen to whale sounds, enhancing appreciation of local flora, fauna, and marine phenomena.
Sleeping Areas
Semi-private sleeping areas.
The spacious main cabin is airy and divided by half-walls and heavy curtains into four berths, providing sleeping accommodations for eight guests. Each area contains large comfortable beds (six and a half feet long), space for your belongings, brass reading lamps, fluffy duvets and blankets. They have walls on two-and-a-half sides and thick, heavy curtains on the other one-and-a-half sides. There are three heads (washrooms) aboard, all with hot running water and shower conversions. If you are a solo traveller, you will be sharing one of the quarter berths with a same-sex solo traveller or you will be placed in our comfortable wheelhouse accommodations. Or, depending on the make-up of guests, our wheelhouse lounge seats convert into comfortable beds.
A Great Sight at Sail, an Even Greater Feeling
With thousands of square feet of canvas (or, dacron), the Maple Leaf is a joy to sail. You are welcome to help with sailing and taking the helm under our crew’s instructions. We are patient teachers and delight in helping people learn. On the other hand, you are not required to sail or perform duties while you are on vacation. The choice is yours. Maple Leaf is a schooner, meaning that her aft mast is taller than her foremast. She has five sails: main sail, foresail, staysail, jib, fisherman.
Physical Eligibility
Mobility requirements aboard maple leaf.
To fully enjoy your experience aboard Maple Leaf, there are a few physical requirements to keep in mind. To enter and exit the dining lounge and sleeping areas, you will need to be comfortable climbing a steep ladder-like staircase with handrails. Her interiors feature narrow passages, inviting you to adapt and embrace the authentic small ship experience. Exploring the coast’s picturesque surroundings often means venturing onto a zodiac. With a helping hand, you’ll need to be able to comfortably step into and out of the zodiac from the ship’s deck or onto a beach with no docks. Disembarking the zodiac involves sitting on the side of the pontoon, swinging your legs over the side, and standing up, with assistance from your crew. The Maple Leaf is a very comfortable ship that welcomes guests of all ages, though if you have a physical limitation, you may consider Swell or Cascadia as more accessible options.

History of the Maple Leaf
Maple leaf’s history chronicles wars, fishing and a remarkable rebirth.
Maple Leaf, BC’s historic tall ship, was built in 1904 by William Watts in Vancouver Shipyard. Initially a private yacht for Alexander Maclaren, she boasted the title of the most expensive pleasure craft on the Pacific Coast and was the first ship north of San Francisco with electric lights and an external lead keel.
She was favoured to win the first ever Trans Pacific sailing race from San Francisco in 1906. But when the San Fransisco earthquake devestated the city, the race was postponed and move to LA and the Maple Leaf never participated. So we will never know if she had been fated to become the Bluenose of the Pacific.
During the First World War, her lead keel and brass were stripped for the war effort, leading to her conversion into a halibut fishing vessel. For two decades, she fished under famous fishing companies such as Gosse and Millerd and the Canadian Fishing Company.
Purchased by Harold Helland in 1938, Maple Leaf, renamed Parma, was completely rebuilt during World War II. Harold, along with a dedicated crew, fished for halibut in the treacherous Bering Sea until the mid-1970s, consistently surpassing newer vessels in performance. Harold maintained his ship in Bristol condition until his retirement in 1978, when she was sold to the Canadian Government.
In 1980, Brian Falconer and Susan Tweedie restored Maple Leaf to a sailing ship, uncovering her original hull lines and re-registering her. From 1986 to August 2001, Brian, Susan, and later Brian with partner Erin Nyhan, operated Maple Leaf Adventures, providing natural history and cultural trips along the BC and Alaska coasts. They also ran the Tall Ship Program for the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets, training over 3,000 cadets from across Canada.
Since 2001, Kevin Smith has led Maple Leaf Adventures, garnering recognition from National Geographic, Outside magazine, and winning awards for sustainable tourism. Kevin and Maple Leaf have continued her tradition of helping to protect the places of the coast, including bringing places like the Great Bear Rainforest to international media audiences. The ship continues to be meticulously maintained, drawing admiration at tall ship festivals.

Buying a boat: How much does it actually cost to own a yacht?
Yacht broker gerry prefontaine highlights five things you'll want to know before buying your own boat.
Social Sharing
As the Vancouver International Boat Show opens on Granville Island and at BC Place this Wednesday, we take a look at what it takes to buy — and maintain — your own yacht.
There's a certain fascination associated with owning your own boat. Maybe it's because nothing quite says you've made it like having your own superyacht, helipad and all.
For most people, that's completely out of the question. And while there won't be any superyachts on display at the boat show, the exhibitors could tempt you to dip your toes into the waters of more modest boat ownership.
We asked Gerry Prefontaine, a long-time boat owner and yacht broker with Meridian Yachts , to outline the five things you'll want to consider before buying.
1. Inspection fees
Not only can a boat cost anything from a few thousand dollars to a few hundred thousand dollars, the associated inspection fees can also add up, said Prefontaine.
On top of the price tag, you could turn out another $1,500 for inspection fees, and y ou'll have to get the boat hauled out for survey, which costs around $800, he added.
Buyers should be ready to pay for the inspection, whether or not they decide to make the final purchase, he said. And if that inspection is unsatisfying? "Then you're out $1,500 to not buy a boat."
2. Insurance
Like all insurance, boat insurance depends on the condition of your vessel and the level of coverage you want. Prefontaine said he pays about $1,100 a year to cover his 30-year old, Canoe Cove 42' series boat.
"A 30-foot boat could cost you anywhere between $300 and $1,000 a month, depending on where you get moorage," Prefontaine said.
At the Heather and Burrard civic marinas in Vancouver, the cost of moorage ranges from $10.16 to $12.60 per foot, per month. That doesn't include surcharges, such as electricity usage and live-aboard license fees.
If you have a smaller boat, you can opt for dry storage. It isn't significantly cheaper, but it can better preserve your boat's condition, Prefontaine said.
4. Maintenance
It's easy enough to change your engine oil and wash your boat yourself. But an electrical issue or a serious mechanical issue could seriously set you back, said Prefontaine, who once spent $66,000 to repair his $100,000 boat.
"You could spend half what you paid for the boat on repairs. It can scare you," he said.
Like a big pick-up truck, boats are gas guzzlers, Prefontaine said. He spends about six dollars per nautical mile on fuel, and drove about 1,200 nautical miles last year. You do the math.
"The thing is, I don't worry about the cost of fuel until I fuel up. Then it blows me away," he said. "You don't worry about it, really. You can't. If you're going to sweat about the price of fuel, don't buy a boat."
The grand total
"How much do I spend on the boat? With moorage, insurance, maintenance and fuel, I spend probably $1,500 a month...at least," Prefontaine said. That works out to $18,000 a year.
However, Prefontaine said he uses his boat roughly 200 days a year, which is likely more than anyone else at the False Creek Yacht Club.
Still, Prefontaine insists most boat owners aren't ridiculously wealthy. He estimates about 80 per cent of the club members at False Creek are "regular, working class."
"It can be very inexpensive, if you want to get a deal on a used boat, clean it up yourself, and sail it up and down the coast," he said.
"My dad always had a boat. He had no money, but he had a boat. He had an old, smelly boat. He just loved boats, period."

The world's most expensive superyacht has walls made of T-Rex bones and is worth nearly £4 billion
The yacht, covered in 100,000 kg of gold has a statue in it reportedly made from genuine tyrannosaurus rex bones with walls also having dinosaur bone shavings.
The world's most expensive superyacht named History Supreme is worth about £4 billion and has gold-plated sides and walls made of T-Rex bones, but is still shrouded in mystery as not many have seen it and only four photos of it actually exist.
It was commissioned by a mysterious Malaysian billionaire and is designed by controversial British artist Stuart Hughes who took just over three years to complete it, according to a report by The Sun, which added that there are only four photos of the boat available.

What are the features of the yacht?
The yacht has a statue in it reportedly made from genuine Tyrannosaurus Rex bones with walls also having dinosaur bone shavings. These were allegedly sourced from Arizona, USA.
Pieces of the thigh bone alone come in at about £68,000, according to the report.
The vessel is covered in 100,000 kg of gold and has jewels too. The railings, decking, dining area and even the base of the boat is wrapped in gold. The anchor was also made dipped in liquid gold, and the sleeping areas are covered in platinum.

The yacht also has a luxury liquor bottle with an 18.5 carat diamond, one of the world’s rarest, with a panoramic wall aquarium made from 68kg of 24 carat gold.
Other features of the yacht include an iPhone wrapped in 500 cut diamonds including two interchangeable diamonds fitted over the “home button,” a 7.4 carat pink diamond and a rare eight carat diamond.
Who is the alleged owner of the yacht?
Hughes has hinted at Robert Kuok, Malaysia's richest man and Southeast Asia's second-richest man as being the owner of the yacht, although it hasn't been confirmed yet. His net worth is £8 billion, but Forbes estimated it to be around £9.5 billion in 2011.
