Welcome Aboard

A floating home with room for everyone

Judy & Johan welcome you, your family, and your friends to an unforgettable stay aboard their floating retreat. With three bedrooms, three bathrooms, two decks, and generous space for up to eight guests, Flagship 1 is the perfect home base for days on the water and slow evenings under the stars.

Moored in the calm, protected waters of the Saanich Inlet — the stunning fjord you've admired from the Malahat Highway — she offers a perspective of Vancouver Island most visitors never see: from the water itself.

— Judy & Johan, your hosts
