DATES & TIMES
SPRING
The Shuswap is magic. Days are warm, evenings crisp, and the fishing is excellent. Prize rainbow, lakers, dolly varden and kokanee make the lake their home. And remember our houseboats come equipped with a fireplace and hot tub to keep you warm and cozy. *(The Cruiser does not include a fireplace or hot tub). Fishing licences are required on Shuswap Lake and are available online or at the Twin Anchors Gift Shack.
SUMMER
Brings the extraordinary pleasures of cruising and swimming in the crystal clear waters of Shuswap Lake. Off the water there are a variety of side trips available – ranging from novice to advanced – including majestic waterfalls, hiking trails and secret sandy coves. This is the most popular time of the year – so book early.
FALL
The perfect time for those seeking a more tranquil vacation. The lake is still warm from the summer heat, the beaches are quiet and the evenings are perfect for relaxing in your hot tub. And for nature lovers, the Shuswap puts on a full show in the fall – pumpkin orange to scarlet with all the colours in between. Sunsets, moonlight, stars and more stars – and if you time it right… northern lights. Get on board!
The vacation year at Twin Anchors is broken up into three seasons – Low, Mid and Peak. All are colour coded on our calendars. Once you’ve decided when you’d like to depart, book early to avoid disappointment. Remember, we will hold a houseboat for up to 10 days without obligation.

Every year we have gone houseboating, we have hiked Albas Falls. Interesting to see it all change year to year and season to season. Hiked it two years in the spring during runoff and once mid summer, first time hiking it in the fall was this year when the water was way down. Super interesting terrain.
Just cruising out on the lake....the best time ever!!
Marble point?
Pierre’s point campground
The whole lake! Enjoyed each spot we stopped at. Always enjoyed going to see the salmon run.
The beach to go to Alba falls?
best family trip ever!
Twin bays, quite and calm waters.

Nov 18, 2020 - GOOD FRIENDS. LEGENDARY SERVICE. LUXURIOUS HOUSEBOATS. Experience one of British Columbia’s legendary adventure vacations on Shuswap Lake. Twin Anchors has been hosting guests since 1...I so want to do this next summer.
Renovate and complete necessary repairs or installations on houseboats with reference to the Quality System. Construct, erect, install, maintain, and repair houseboat structures and other components of structures made of wood, wood substitutes. Measure, cut, shape, assemble, and join materials made of wood and wood substitutes. Renovate electrical, plumbing, or construction requirements on the houseboats as detected. Ensure work areas are clean and that major safety issues with houseboats are reported to the management team. The work environment is both in and outside of the shop in all weather conditions where work is done in and near fiberglass and mechanical. Certified or proven abilities in carpentry, electrical, plumbing, or construction are considered an asset. Must work well within a team have your own basic tools to do the job.
Winter is on its way to Old Town Bay!
Throughout the winter our boats either remain on the dock or get pulled out of the water to get their seasonal spa treatment in the manufacturing plant 😎 Twin Anchors sailings run from May throughout the first week of October of every year!
Winters in the Columbia-Shuswap region come with heavy snowfall and mild temperatures, making it a popular area for avid skiers, snowmobilers, and other outdoor enthusiasts! Even though the average winter temperature is below freezing, Shuswap Lake never freezes over so you will likely find a few boats out on the water during the sunny days 🥶
I need this in the summer.
Dawn Gailey was a nice time
