Your Front-Row Pass: Watching the 2025 Honda Celebration of Light aboard our Private Yacht
Few summer experiences rival seeing the Honda Celebration of Light paint Vancouver’s sky while waves lap gently against your own chartered yacht. Below is everything you need to know, including dates, on-shore festivities, and exactly what happens when you step aboard aboard our yacht charter for the most exclusive seat in English Bay.
