Experience one of British Columbia’s legendary adventure vacations on Shuswap Lake. Twin Anchors has been hosting guests since 1977 – that’s a long list of happy houseboaters! Get your crew together and start planning your houseboat adventure today – we have boats available from April through to October.
Houseboating is a memorable experience – perfect for small family get-aways, groups up to 28 (invite some really good friends!), weddings and corporate events. Captains of our houseboats need to be 19 years or older, hold a valid driver’s licence and do not require a Canadian Pleasurecraft Operating Licence as we provide a complete houseboat orientation prior to each group heading out.
HOUSEBOAT VACATION GUIDELINES
The Twin Anchors crew is happy to welcome you to Shuswap Lake. Please help us keep everyone safe by following these important guidelines:
1. The crew you arrived with is the only crew permitted on your houseboat. Please do not invite guests from other houseboats onto your houseboat during your vacation.
2. Please practice safe houseboating! Accidents can happen quickly. It takes time to get rescue crews and paramedics out to your location on the lake.
3. Please return your houseboat as clean as possible. Other guests are waiting to take our houseboats out — the longer it takes us to clean your houseboat, the longer they have to wait in the parking lot.
BE RESPECTFUL. BE SAFE. KEEP IT CLEAN.
WE’VE GOT FIREWOOD & ICE!
Firewood and ice is available at the marina for purchase on your arrival. We can deliver it to your houseboat.
You’ll find a luxurious houseboat for every group and every budget at Twin Anchors! And YES! Every one of them has a slide! And every houseboat (except the Cruiser) has a hot tub and a fireplace.
