For details on the sale:
For information on services we are offering:
Enjoy the winning combination
of adventure, relaxation and affordable luxury on one of Canada's most
beautiful lakes
aboard a luxurious fully-equipped 44-foot Three Buoys houseboat. Anchor
in secluded mainland coves or beside uninhabited islands, or visit
isolated beaches such as Sand Point or Ferguson Bay. Your "home on
the water" incorporates the latest in marine design and safety to
offer you comfort, privacy and ease of operation. Relax and enjoy the
breathtaking scenery from your own floating retreat. The perimeter of
Lake Temagami and most of the 1400 islands are almost entirely crown
land providing unlimited private anchorage locations.
Upon your arrival, your 'captain' will be given a houseboat orientation.
This will consist of familiarization with the lake (assisted by the map
provided) and hands-on instruction in driving the houseboat. The
features of the houseboat will be explained including the operation of
the depth sounders. You will also be shown how to anchor and de/anchor
the houseboat. We recommend that you bring along your own fishing boat
and motor or canoe to tow behind (we also provide rentals). On board are
10 adult life jackets, but if you are traveling with small children you
will need to bring jackets for them.
Each houseboat can sleep up to 10 people - captain's room, penthouse
room, 2 foldout sofas that make into beds, and the dinette area with
custom made cushions provides the fifth double bed. You will need to
bring your own bedding (but pillows and pillow cases are provided). Most
people find sleeping bags work best. The kitchen has a full-sized
RV-type fridge, a four-burner stove, eyelevel oven, double stainless
steel sinks and lots of cupboards. The kitchen is fully-equipped with
dishes, pots and pans, cutlery etc. The 3-piece bathroom with bathtub/shower, vanity sink, and flush toilet is centrally
located in the houseboat. A propane gas barbecue can be found at the bow
deck. A swim platform and a waterslide are at the stern deck, as well as
the stairs to the upper deck.
The 'captain' of the boat can drive from the inside helm or from the
upper command bridge. Also provided on the upper deck are 8 deck chairs
and 2 lounge chairs.
Many upgrades have been made to our houseboats. We have added a
cage around the outdrive to protect it from any damage that may occur as
the result of hitting a rock in the lake. Also, depth sounders are
included which assist in navigation with the added benefit of providing
a 'fish finder'. We also provide a map of the lake with each
rental. An environmental upgrade has been added to retain the
waste water, which prevents it from being discharged into the lake.
