“There’s not enough Stars!!!!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐​​⭐

A lovely review from one of last year’s guests, who we look forward to seeing again this summer! Thank you!!! 🤩

There is so much to love about a vacation on the Trent-Severn Waterway - wildlife, fishing, small towns to explore, friendly Lockmasters & more.

And if you’re ready to unplug, unwind & float into summer…

Right now, we’re having an early start to our Canada Day celebrations - with a special discount!

When you book your houseboat getaway before June 21 for any week in JULY 🇨🇦…

We’re offering:

🚤 35% off a single boat
🚤 Or bring your crew and book 2 boats for the price of 1

Cruise the scenic TSW, soak up slow mornings on the water & enjoy relaxed time with your favourite people.

BTW…Canada Day week (June 29th departure) is still available - & the fireworks are even better from the water!

One of the highlights of visiting Graceland? 👇🏼

Seeing all Elvis’ ‘toys’ - including a Johnson 1960 runabout with an outboard motor! 🛥️

It was funny to spot this boat, because it’s very similar to my boat, ‘Miss Jenny Sea’ - a Johnson 1964 runabout with an inboard/outboard motor.

➡️ Swipe through to see Elvis’ boats and some pics of me and my boat.

Miss Jenny Sea was a gift from John for my 50th birthday…definitely my favorite gift I’ve ever received!!! 🤩

It was such a surprise - partly because John gave it to me in August & my birthday is in November, and partly because everyone in the marina was in on it! So fun!

I’m curious…what is the best gift you’ve ever received?? Comment below and let me know!
