A Week on a Private Yacht Could Be Yours

As part of our ongoing fundraising efforts to provide programs and services to these children, we are thrilled to announce that a generous anonymous donor has made it possible for us to offer you a once in a lifetime opportunity to bid on a stunning 7-day luxury yacht charter. All auction proceeds will go directly to Foothills Academy.  

The Toy Box II is eighty-feet of luxury and has all the features and amenities one would expect from a cruise yacht. From its teak burnished staterooms to its granite countered galley, the Toy Box II is built for comfort and entertaining. With three exceptionally appointed staterooms, this is the perfect opportunity for a luxury family holiday or for two or three couples to enjoy a week of fun and festivities. 

Cruise Vancouver Island, Victoria, the Gulf Islands, Desolation Sound, the Sunshine Coast and surrounding areas. All cruises begin Saturday at noon, and end the following Friday at noon. Cruises commence from Captain's Cove Marina, located in beautiful Ladner, B.C., a short drive from the Vancouver International Airport. May, June and September charter dates are available. 

Offered at a reserve bid of $18,000, this package retails for over $35,000.
