Butchart Gardens in Spring!
Destination Cruise on Ardenna
April 12-17, 2023
Let's Cruise into Canada and Experience the sheer explosiveness of spring joy at Butchart Gardens!
This Cruise will feature Ardenna - our Flagship Sabre 402. Here's the general plan:
- April 12 (Wednesday): Cast off from Anacortes and cruise through the San Juan Islands under sail/power to Reid Harbor at Stuart Island. Anchor for the night.
- April 13 (Thursday): Cruise to Sidney BC for a brief Customs stop, then on into Saanich Inlet and Butchart Gardens.
- April 14 (Friday): We will provide Butchart Gardens Tickets for everyone. Being there on a Friday should result in fewer crowds than the weekend.
- April 15 (Saturday): Cruise to Sucia Island and anchor in Echo Bay
- April 16 (Sunday): Enjoy a day exploring the beautiful Sucia Island State Park. Trails, beaches, crabbing, etc.
- April 17 (Monday): Cruise from Sucia Island back to Anacortes.
Our Spring Butchart Gardens Destination Cruise is Full, but much more Community Cruising Experiences are to come, including Butchart Gardens again - at Christmas!
Community Cruising has been very popular. Reach out to express your interest and we'll include you in our plans and expeditions.
