Thanks for submitting!

• Are children allowed on charters? Chartering a yacht can make for an excellent family vacation, with activities to entertain both children and adults. In general, the crew are not responsible for their safety. We recommend that you bring childcare if you want to truly relax and have a carefree time while ensuring your children are being looked after.
• Why is there a 3% credit card convenience charge? At Odyssey Yachts, we are hyper concerned about your privacy and the security of your payment details. We use one of the largest and most trusted credit card processing partners in the world to handle all credit card transactions. None of your sensitive payment details are stored on our servers, and we are compliant with the strictest PCI requirements. The 3% fee goes to cover the credit card processing fee.
• Do the crew need to be tipped? Although not mandatory, it is customary to leave a gratuity for the work of the crew and the captain at the end of a charter. Most brokers recommend a tip of 15% of the charter fee. Odyssey Yachts automatically includes a gratuity charge of 15% for charters and this fee is paid out to the captain and crew of each charter. If you would like to add an additional tip, you are more than welcome to pay the captain at the end of your charter. The captain will make sure any additional tips are split accordingly with the crew. If you are chartering outside of the North America, you are recommended to pay the captain a tip upon disembarkation for a job well done.
• Why do you charge a 2-day rate for a 24-hour charter? If you are looking to do an overnight, 24-hour charter, a 2-day rate is typically charged. The reason behind this 2-day charge is that the boat is being chartered by you as the client for the 24-hour period and we/the owner are not able to charter the boat for those 2 days.
• What is a charter agreement? A Charter Agreement is a legal document between the broker, customer, owner and crew that outlines the key terms of your yacht charter. It will specify among other things your yacht’s technical specifications, cruise date, intended destinations, yacht pickup and drop-off details, insurance and cancellation terms.
• Why is the 7-day rate for a term charter priced as a 6-day charter? This is known as the “rule of 6” and is industry standard. When a client is chartering a yacht for a 7-day term charter (or longer), it is customary to have every 7th day provided to the customer complimentary. So, if a customer is chartering for 7 days, they are only charged a 6-day rate. If a customer charters for 2 weeks, it is customary to only charge for a 12-day rate instead of 14 days, and so forth.
• What is this 30% APA, and why is it charged on multi-day charters? It is industry standard to collect a 30% APA (advance provisioning allowance) for any multi-day term charters. This APA is collected from the client and passed on to the captain and crew to provision the yacht per the client’s specifications and also used as an allowance to pay for any berthing fees and fuel fees incurred during the course of the charter. If there is are any funds remaining in the APA upon disembarkation, the broker can return the remaining amount back to the client, or the client can pay the remaining funds towards the crew gratuity
• When is my payment collected? Is it refundable? Once you confirm your reservation, your broker will process your payment. If you are booking for a single day and your reservation is confirmed more than 7 days in advance, a deposit of either $1,000 USD or 50% of the total cost of the reservation (whichever is greater) is processed immediately in order to hold the yacht. Once your embarkation date is 7 days away, the remainder of the amount due is processed. If you are booking for a single day and your reservation is made 7 days or less in advance, the total price of your reservation is processed immediately. If you are booking for a multi-day charter and your reservation is confirmed more than 30 days in advance, a deposit of 50% of the cost of the yacht is processed immediately in order to hold the yacht. Once your embarkation date is 30 days away, the other 50% is collected for the price of the yacht, plus the APA, plus the taxes due. Terms of refunds are dictated by the Charter Agreement. Generally, once a payment is collected, it is non-refundable. In certain circumstances, as dictated by the Charter Agreement, credits can be provided so you will be able to enjoy your yacht charter at a future date that is convenient for you.
• Can I charter a boat for a period longer than just a half day or full day to sleep aboard and explore various islands and coastline? Chartering a yacht for a period longer than a single day and having guests sleep aboard is what is referred to as a "Term Charter". In order to book a term charter, you will simply select your embarkation and disembarkation dates and you’ll need to pay via bank transfer as opposed to credit card. You’ll also work with your broker to set an itinerary and have a meal preferences and activity sheet so the crew has a detailed provisioning list for your charter.
• How do I book a yacht with Odyssey Yachts? It's easy to charter a yacht on the Odyssey Yachts website! First, choose the location in which you want to charter. Once you find a yacht you like, you can request a reservation. Your reservation request will be sent to the broker that manages that particular yacht. Once your reservation is confirmed, we charge your credit card on file and the broker will follow up with a Charter Agreement for you to sign.
• Will arrangements be made for airport pick-up? Odyssey Yachts will be happy to arrange to have you and your party picked up and transported to your yacht when you and your guests arrive at the airport. If you would like to arrange airport pickup, simply coordinate with your Odyssey Yachts representative and they will be happy to assist.
• What if your servers get hacked? Is my payment information really safe? As stated in the previous two questions, customer payment information is not stored on our servers. If our servers were to get hacked into by a third party, no sensitive payment information would be found.
• Are pets allowed aboard? Typically, pets are not allowed aboard for health and safety reasons, and sea travel can be extremely uncomfortable for animals. If you need to be accompanied by your pet for any reason, we ask that you check with your broker for the yacht’s pet policy.
• Is smoking permitted aboard? In general, smoking is not permitted inside most yachts, and is strictly forbidden in any cabins or staterooms. Usually, yachts will have a designated smoking area on the aft deck or flybridge, but please ask your captain and crew before lighting up.
• Can I bring my own alcohol and food onto the boat? In almost all cases, you are allowed to bring your own food and beverages for your yacht charter. Or you can work with your broker and they can coordinate to have beverages delivered to your boat prior to embarkation. If you would like to have a chef onboard, you can work with your broker and they will be able to assist with this request.
• What is supplied aboard? All of our yachts are stocked with waters, soft drinks and ice along with yachting necessities aboard such as toilet paper, sunscreen, linens and towels. You are always welcome to bring your own supplies if you’d prefer.
• Are there set hours in which the yacht can cruise? In general, you can sail at most times of the day if weather and visibility conditions allow it, and providing it doesn’t conflict with the itinerary discussed with your broker and the captain. Always work with your Odyssey Yachts representative as they are familiar with the local laws and will be able to advise on what is possible and what is not advisable.
• What do I need to bring with me? All the essentials will be waiting for you once you step foot on your yacht. If you have something specific, you’d like to bring, feel free. However, we recommend packing light. Most people will want to pack bathing suits, sunglasses, boating shoes or athletic shoes. If you’re planning to visit any islands outside of your home country, please remember to bring your passport and visas (if required). If you are boating in American waters and not a Canadian national, please remember to bring your passport with you. It is required by law and in the event, you encounter the Canadian Coast Guard, they will ask you to show it immediately. If you are a Canadian resident, then you’ll need to have a valid driver's license or any other government issued ID. If anyone in your party is prone to seasickness, over the counter medications or prescriptions may be a good idea. Soft sided luggage is recommended as it usually fits in cabin compartments and is gentle on woodwork and paint.
• Can I choose the food and drink served aboard? Most yachts will be stocked with waters, soft drinks and ice for your charter. If you would like, you can always bring your own food and beverages for your charter, or you can have your broker arrange to have food and beverages delivered to your yacht prior to embarkation. Another option is to have a chef onboard for your charter that can prepare meals for you while on charter. For multi-day (term) charters, you will fill out a meal preferences sheet that will inform the crew of what meals you would like prepared for your charter and what food and beverage preferences you have, so that the boat will be provisioned exactly to your specifications, and the chef will be able to prepare a menu for you in advance of your charter for you to review and approve.
• How many extra guests are allowed aboard? You’ll notice that most yachts have a cruising capacity of no more than 12-15 guests. This is due to the fact that most local coast guards have a law in place that dictates that no more than 12-15 guests can be onboard a chartered yacht regardless of the size of the vessel. If you have more than 12 guests in your party, work with your yacht specialist, as they will be able to assist with finding a yacht that is certified to hold more than 12 guests, or they can help arrange a multi-boat charter so your party can remain compliant with local laws and tie up together once on anchor.

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Vancouver

Whether you are a seasoned sailor or a novice enthusiast, Yachting.Rent offers a fleet of yachts to cater to your unique sailing needs in Vancouver, British Columbia. Our range of vessels includes the classic sailing boat and the versatile catamaran. However, the choice between the two depends on your specific sailing preferences, group size, and intended journey.

Sailing boats, synonymous with traditional seafaring, provide an authentic sailing experience. They are perfect for smaller groups or couples seeking a more intimate experience. Navigate the intricate waterways of Vancouver with the wind as your guide, discover hidden coves, or drop anchor in remote bays for a serene picnic. Their deep hulls make them an excellent choice for open sea exploration and extended cruises.

On the other hand, our catamarans, with their twin hull design, offer stability, comfort, and speed. They are ideal for larger groups or families due to their spacious decks and generous living spaces. Catamarans also boast shallow drafts, allowing you to access shallow waters and secluded beaches that are out of reach for larger vessels. If your journey involves island hopping, a day out on the waves, or simply lounging in the sun with a picturesque view, a catamaran is an excellent choice.

At Yachting.Rent, we understand that every sailor has unique needs. That’s why our team of sailing experts is ready to assist you in choosing the perfect vessel for your adventure. We pride ourselves on our comprehensive knowledge of both sailing boats and catamarans, ensuring your voyage in Vancouver, British Columbia, is an unforgettable experience.

Humongous $200M superyacht arrives in Vancouver

• Share by Email
• Share on Facebook
• Share on LinkedIn
• Share via Text Message

A 95-metre superyacht priced at $200 million was spotted cruising through False Creek before docking in North Vancouver. 

Attessa V Yacht was built in 2010 by Blohm and Voss, a German shipbuilding and engineering company. It arrived in Vancouver on Tuesday and moved over to a dock in North Vancouver on Wednesday morning.

AV can entertain 24 guests in 12 rooms and has a crew of 33 people. It features a large swimming pool on the deck, a private movie theatre and a jet pool jacuzzi. 

The superyacht was designed by Michael Leach Design and soars in ’speed and style.’

It costs $10 to $20 million per year to run the yacht.

Website SuperYacht.com lists the owner of the AV as Dennis Washington, an 88-year-old American billionaire whose net worth is listed at US$6.4 billion and is ranked number 397 in Forbes' richest people in the world . 

Washington, from Montana, claims to be ‘self-made’ and owns a copper mining, marine transportation and heavy equipment business, according to Forbes. He is married with two children. In an interview with Forbes.com, Washington said his passion is boats. 

Washington’s network of companies includes Washington Marine Group and Seaspan Shipyards in North Vancouver, where Kyle Washington, Dennis Washington’s son, is executive chairman.

The AV Yacht was previously known as Palladium and is listed as an award-winning superyacht.  It was previously owned by Mikhail Prokhorov, a Russian oligarch and previous owner of the Brooklyn Nets. The yacht drew attention when The Late Show host Stephen Colbert visited Prokhorov on the yacht. 

Superyachts flocking to Vancouver Island

Superyachts flock to B.C. every year. One recently drew attention in B.C.’s capital when a Brazilian billionaire docked in Victoria. 

The 62-metre-long vessel called the Anawa was docked at Ship Point on May 30, clad with its own helicopter on deck. 

Billionaire Jorge Paulo Lemann owns the yacht, according to Superfanyacht.com. Forbes.com says the investor-philanthropist lives in Switzerland and is worth $14.8 billion.

Anawa was custom-designed and built in 2020 by Damen Yachting. It’s one of the company’s SeaXplorer class of vessels, billed as “long-range, luxury expedition” yachts.

It can carry 12 guests and 15 crew plus a captain, Damen said.

Back in 2020, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones's yacht was spotted in the  waters off Vancouver Island . The "Bravo Eugenia" is worth an estimated quarter-billion dollars.

The superyacht is designed to use 30 per cent less fuel than other vessels of its size and class but it doesn't skimp on amenities. The "Bravo Eugenia" can accommodate 14 guests and 30 crew members and features six guest suites, a beach lounge, spa and gym.

On Tuesday, the AV Yacht wasn’t the only yacht drawing attention. A 32-metre vessel called the Snowbored was passing through False Creek  with the final destination of Galiano Island. 

The Snowbored, built by Westport in 2003, is a 32-metre vessel with a satin cherry wood interior, and a sundeck sporting a hot tub, wet bar, and lounge pads. It also has a fighting chair and rocket launcher for sport fishing, and can launch a Novurania tender and Yamaha waverunners.

In a statement to Glacier Media, the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority says anyone wishing to view the Attessa V in Vancouver's inner harbour area by boat "is urged to ensure they do so from a safe distance." "We love seeing boaters and paddlers out enjoying the waters that make up the Port of Vancouver," says Jason Krott, manager of marine operations and fleet. "Our focus is working with all users to build the awareness and understanding needed to support a safe shared space for recreational and commercial traffic."

Always racing at the speed of a greyhound, Eby ready for election dash

Before he starts a near 12-hour Saturday of campaign events, Premier David Eby sits at his dining room table and watches his two-month-old daughter Gwen kick her legs around on the playmat below. He’s always seemed a man of limitless political energy, ever since he out-hustled Christy Clark in 2013 to upset the then-premier in her riding of Vancouver-Point Grey.

But now, a decade later in political life, two years into holding the top office, with his third child squiggling away on the floor, you begin to see the edges of his ambition.

“It’s definitely harder to leave,” he says, lingering in the family living room.

It’s just a moment, and then the 48-year-old BC NDP leader is up and out the door — whisked into the vortex of political life, tour schedules, aides, security escorts, candidates, crowds, handshakes and selfies.

It’s like watching someone pulled away by an enormous riptide. But if you look very closely, you can see Eby quietly kicking against the current. It’s as if he knows his political life depends upon it.

Born in Kingston, Ont., Eby emerged the natural politician of four children born to a school teacher mother and personal injury lawyer father. He was student council president in high school, an early activist against the treatment of elephants in the circus, a skilled debater in law school and, eventually, an outspoken advocate for the poor and vulnerable in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

Eby got into law, he jokes, to sue politicians. Now he’s the one getting sued — first as attorney general, from 2017 to 2022, then as premier.

His critics say his major reforms to permit decriminalization of drugs, restrict short-term rentals, override municipalities on housing and introduce no-fault vehicle insurance have been too radical.

Eby argues bold policies were needed to tackle the major crises. His promise upon being sworn in 21 months ago was to show voters “real, concrete things that they can see, that they can touch, that show them the direction that we're going.”

Eby says he’s honoured the spirit.

“On the vast majority of issues, yes,” he says. “There have been some where we’ve had to reset course, particularly around decriminalization.”

The BC Conservatives have turned Eby’s promise into an attack ad, contrasting it with the reality of addictions, homelessness and street disorder. Despite a record deficit and a 20 per cent increase in government spending since becoming premier, the Conservatives say Eby has failed to actually show improvements to key areas like health care, child care and housing.

“The bottom line you can see in his approach he’s very much a control freak and doesn’t respect governance and process,” says BC Conservative Leader John Rustad. “He’s desperate to find answers, but doesn’t understand the way he’s going doesn’t work.”

As a politician, Eby has always been a bit of a lone wolf.

He ran his 2013 grassroots campaign to unseat the premier almost entirely by himself. After he became Opposition housing critic, he made his name with inventive attacks on BC Liberal government cash-for-access fundraisers and foreign buyer housing policies — organizing his own media events and crafting his own political campaigns, much to the frustration of the BC NDP leader’s office.

Eby carried that through into attorney general and housing minister, pushing major reforms to ICBC, housing policy and money laundering on his own terms. He ignored the all-controlling premier’s office. He broke with fellow cabinet ministers, like then-finance minister Selina Robinson.

Eventually, Horgan removed Eby from the powerful cabinet committee that approves major spending, called treasury board. When Horgan went to retire in 2022, Eby was not his preferred successor.

Despite all that, or perhaps because of it, Eby’s political career has flourished.

He’s been adept at identifying areas of public anger and proposing bold solutions. To him, the political ends of achieving the right policy have justified the isolated and at times controlling means. Along the way, his opponents have either stepped aside, or been steamrolled by his focus and work ethic.

Since becoming premier, he’s centralized power in his office and deployed handpicked “special advisors” in areas of health care, Indigenous reconciliation and housing. Their sole purpose, Eby says, has been to keep pushing the civil service, so reforms don’t get stalled out by risk-averse bureaucrats.

He doesn’t believe one man can make all the decisions. Government would cease to operate.

“It’s impossible,” he says.

But Eby also doesn’t much care that it’s the prevailing point of view, because he’s empowered his ministers to use the threatening spectre of the premier’s office to fast-track reforms.

“The public service knows if it gets stalled out, somebody will notice that and the premier’s office will notice what’s happening,” he says.

When he became premier in late 2022, Eby quickly expressed concerns about being trapped in a bubble, surrounded by yes people, confined by security, unable to interact with ordinary folks or read the public mood.

“The further you move in politics, one of the things I've noticed is the more insulated you can be from the people that are actually delivering the services or the people who are actually having the experience of what the policies look like on the ground,” Eby says.

“And that is a very dangerous position to be in as a politician. You need to know what's happening.”

Eby has tried to kick back on the ever-encroaching bubble in several ways.

One way has been to hold town halls, where he invites community leaders and members of the public to ask him questions. His office insists the events are unscripted, the guest list apolitical and questions unfiltered — which, if true, would put the premier at a high risk for confrontation and negative moments.

“I like the unvarnished feedback,” says Eby. “I really struggle with the parts of politics that are fake and contrived.

“The more authentic and sincere I am … the more it’s worth the risk of an unscripted moment.”

Another move has been to rewrite most of his speeches, despite a team dedicated to this task that includes a Vancouver comedian Eby hired to help craft jokes.

“It’s very, very difficult to capture that specific tone I want and how I like to communicate things,” he says. “And so I rewrite a significant portion of it. Which is not sustainable, probably.”

He removes “political phrases” and “secret coding,” particularly progressive phrasing that appeals to people he says are already prone to support him.

In keeping with his high-risk approach, he often flies without a speech and tries to ad lib humour into public events.

Although he appears at first glance to be a stuffy, ultra-serious, awkward 6’7” lawyer — he’s worked hard to be more relaxed, approachable and funny while campaigning.

When asked to don the head of a traditional Chinese lion costume at an event in Vancouver’s Chinatown in late August, he produces an on-the-fly joke about being Canada’s tallest lion.

Later, at the monument for Vietnamese refugees from communism, he delivers an entirely unrehearsed address to the crowd about the sacrifices of Vietnamese boat people, while also managing to poke fun at Vancouver-Kingsway MLA Adrian Dix, who is for some reason wearing a blue karate uniform with yellow belt at the event.

“I’m a bit of a stand-up fan,” Eby says later when asked about his approach. “I have a huge respect for that, and I think it's an art form, that ability to deliver an effective joke.”

Over two years, Eby says he’s improved his ability to read a room.

“I’m a better public speaker,” he says. “I’m more relaxed.”

But have his efforts to push back on the isolation of being the premier given him a clearer read on the public mood?

His opponents say top-down decision-making from the premier’s office has contributed to major misreads in public opinion — most notably the public backlash over decriminalization of possession of illicit drugs like cocaine, heroin and fentanyl. Eby reversed course in April, but the political damage was done.

A better example, though, would be involuntary care.

Eby strongly supports the idea of hospitalising people who repeatedly overdose, to get them addictions and mental health help when they aren’t able to make their own health decisions.

He proposed this policy in his mid-2020 leadership campaign, but after becoming premier he was convinced to back off by Indigenous leaders, civil liberties groups, the coroner, provincial public health officer and some addictions experts.

His political opponents have better read the public fatigue over people with addictions passed out on sidewalks, filling hospital beds, shoehorned into long term care homes, and in the grips of psychosis on city streets.

The Conservative party promises to enact involuntary care as a compassionate measure. Eby is now playing catchup, after not following his instincts. He’s expected to resurrect the measure as part of the fall election campaign.

Eby’s 21 months as premier have been defined by an incredibly ambitious pace. He’s accelerated government decision-making to the point that major policy announcements occur almost daily. As schedules go, his administration is orders of magnitude more active than that of predecessor John Horgan — a reflection, perhaps, also of how badly the Horgan administration drifted in the latter half of its term.

There’s no shortage of changes to point to, from massive overhauls to remove municipal roadblocks from housing development, new affordability benefits, a doctors compensation deal, health-care recruitment and new schools and hospitals.

It can all be a bit of a number salad of budgetary figures, units and FTEs. Eby says he’s cognizant the challenge now is to stitch it all into some sort of cohesive narrative that voters can understand.

“This is my evolution of what people are expecting from me — my old approach was to make a list of policies,” he says, citing the start of his premiership where he’d put out detailed action plans to the public.

“I’ve realized … the vast majority of people are looking for someone who has the same values as them, and aren’t going to go up and lecture them on the 30-point policy intentions.”

Crafting that narrative, for a government in its seventh term, accused of being too radical in some areas and too lax in others, will be the NDP’s campaign challenge.

Months of polling suggest people aren’t happy with how his government has performed on big issues, but are willing to vote New Democrat. But a change narrative, in the form of the BC Conservatives, has been rising.

“I think things are fluid right now in a way they haven’t been in a long time,” says Eby.

“And people feel willing to look at all parties because … people are looking for solutions to these problems more than to party affiliations.”

Inside the Eby house, near the University of British Columbia, Eby has carved out what little free time he has to play in the house or backyard with his three kids.

He rises early to make pancakes on this Saturday. His son Ezra, 10, wants to download a new game to his iPad, which requires a quick check from dad for violence. Five-year-old daughter Iva is demonstrating her ability to do the splits while still in her pyjamas.

Occasionally, Eby still gets to dabble in one of his favourite hobbies — looking for bargains at auctions. He checks online catalogues and, where possible, shows up in person to try and find good deals.

Inside the house, this includes a large wooden lion with an antelope in its mouth, on a shelf by the stairway to the top floor. His wife Cailey admits she has no idea why it’s there. “It spoke to me,” says Eby.

Cailey focuses on sports and active living for the family, while Eby is responsible for arts and culture.

He recently returned home with an antique wooden wall decoration depicting Joan of Arc being burned as a heretic. It came with an accompanying decoration of a man with a spear, whom Eby has nicknamed “Steve of Arc, Joan’s lesser-known husband.”

He’s also active on Facebook Marketplace, taking advantage of one person’s offer to deliver an item anywhere in the Lower Mainland by directing him to the downtown Vancouver cabinet office.

“If you are looking for a bargain, you should be looking somewhere else,” Eby says of auction-hunting.

“It’s about the thrill of the hunt.”

Eby also enjoys a good streaming show in the evening — but his choice may surprise you.

Sometimes, he’s into marquee material, like Severance and Silo .

But when he wants to turn his brain off, he prefers reality romance television. Recently, it was Below Deck where eight single crew members sail aboard a luxury yacht in the Caribbean.

“I like how the stakes are low and the angst is high,” he says. “The biggest stakes are some rich person on the boat got a cold dinner. But if you watch the show, you also know crew romances never last.”

It’s a bit of a surprising admission, because you’d probably expect Eby to be up late at night in bed pursuing dry legal tomes. But most recently, he was bingeing Love is Blind UK , where British singles get engaged before even meeting in person.

“There’s a formula to these shows,” says Eby. “It’s calming.”

Not that he gets a lot of free time anymore to even watch TV.

The job keeps squeezing tighter, and the grounding mechanisms Eby has built to counteract the pressure are faltering.

He had been a devout morning yoga practitioner to centre himself as attorney general. But Yoga Dad has fallen by the wayside, as mornings become either a brief window to see his kids or get booked up by early travel.

He tried for years to keep all his work documents in a box in the kitchen; when the lid went on, family time was prioritized. Even that has proved impossible to hold, as paper documents transitioned to incessant digital notifications to his phone and calls for his attention that keep growing in frequency.

“It’s a more consuming job for sure,” Eby says.

His wife, Cailey, a family doctor, has described Eby as a greyhound dog — a champion sprinter. The joy, she says, is in giving him the support needed to watch him run unfettered at a top speed faster than everyone else.

For a long time, it looked like Eby had no maximum. There was no schedule he couldn’t manage, no report he couldn’t read, no speech he couldn’t give, no file he couldn’t push.

But recently, he has found his limits.

In mid-August, Eby returned from two weeks of holidays to an avalanche of work. The province’s tree fruits sector was on the verge of collapse and his agriculture minister had duffed the file, forcing him to authorize an aid package and immediately launch out the gate into an Okanagan travel tour.

As his vacation ended, he checked his schedule.

“For the first time ever, we were at the table and he was speaking about how he’s got 12-hour days, six in a row, and he was like, ‘That’s ridiculous,’” says his wife Cailey.

“And my mouth fell open.”

Eby had never complained about too much work before.

He nods at the anecdote, as his wife feeds daughter Gwen a new bottle.

“I’ve bumped up against the ceiling a few times,” he admits.

How much harder can he work? How much more can he push back against the bubble?

“This is the max.”

After his tenure as premier concludes, which he hopes continues with a re-election Oct. 19 and well into the future, Eby says he’s done with elected politics.

The goal in the meantime remains to fully utilize the opportunity to work as hard as he can, to bump up against the limits of his family and his premiership, for as long as he can.

He’s a greyhound that launched out of the starting block at max speed, who has suddenly realized it’s a marathon, not a sprint.

“I’m here to get things done, not because there’s no other job available to me or I don’t want to spend time with my family,” he says.

“The reason I’m here is to get things done. And I’m happy to put my name on it.”
