​​MARK VANDERBYL joins ARBUTUS COAST YACHTS, working out of our Canoe Cove Marina Office in Sidney 

A Vancouver Islander at heart, now berthed in North Saanich, Captain Mark Vanderbyl has been around the water all his life. 

After time spent away from the water 

in the music and multimedia/computer industries, he returned to the water and pursued a career in yachting, rising quickly to his first captain's position aboard a 90' Motoryacht. From there he worked his way up in size on various yachts, running 3 different Westport 112' Motoryachts, a 130' Oceanfast jet drive yacht, a 125' Palmer Johnson motosailer, and a brand new Nordhavn 120', among others.

We are happy to have Mark with us - give him a call or drop in if your in Sidney BC, Canoe Cove Marina.
