Who owns the Yacht After Eight?

Answer 1

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.
