Cruising aboard a houseboat is relaxing as you slowly make your way along a rocky rugged shoreline enjoying the nature beauty. Drop anchor at a sandy beach and head for shore to do some hiking or sit back and take in the spectacular sunsets. You call the shots in your waterway home away from home. Houseboats come in many sizes and have all the conveniences of home. They are equipped with fridges, stoves and ovens, hot water showers.
Some houseboats come equipped with three-piece bathrooms, hot tubs, barbecues and water slides.
All you have to bring is food, bedding, beach towels, personal items and your camera. The charter owners give renters short instructional cruise and list moorage facilities. Houseboat rental costs vary, depending on the size, amenities and the season. Houseboating fun is available in all areas of British Columbia, from Atlin in the north to Vancouver Island in the south. But the most popular houseboating region is the Shuswap.
