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.
