Hey hope you enjoy Vancouver and Calgary!! I live in Calgary now and lived in Van for 10 years previously, you should enjoy both cities for sure. I know there is a marina on granville island that rents power boats quite easily, though they will have to test you for a nautical license, a requirement here but super easy to satisfy.
While in Calgary you guys should definitely plan to head up to Banff and Lake Louise too if you have the time. The Canadian Rockies are stunning, a world class vista for sure and they make the drive well worth while. Also not far out of Calgary is Drumheller, one of the leading paleontological sites in the world. The Royal Tyrell museum there is a great way to spend a day, I am not any kind of avid dinosaur guy but it is an incredibly impressive collection. If you like airplanes at all and want a tour of a corporate jet management facility hit me up, I would be happy to show you around my work which most people find pretty interesting.
I hope you enjoy your trip!
