15 Apr Luxury Houseboat Rentals in BC

Lakes abound across beautiful British Columbia, and there’s no better way to enjoy those calm blue waters in style than from the comfort of a luxury houseboat. To locate the very best luxury houseboat rentals in BC, we picked the province’s most popular houseboating vacation destination – Shuswap Lake – and examined its impressive fleet in detail. If your motto is “go big or go home,” then all 3 of the exquisite floating palaces we chose will be right up your alley!

Legacy

Waterway Marina and Resort considers the Legacy to be the largest and most impressive houseboat in their fleet, and it’s easy to see why! Sleeping a full 30 people, this 94-foot craft is absolutely massive, and it comes with all the bells and whistles you’d expect from such a big ship. The furnished boardroom is primed for video conferencing, making this houseboat ideal for CEOs and businesspeople, while the granite countertops, 14-foot-high ceilings and chandelier confirm that this is one truly luxurious craft. The three-story Legacy also boasts a full 6 staterooms (plus extra rooms & cuddy rooms), dual walkways down both sides of the boat, and an enlarged hot tub which is the perfect centerpiece for boat parties.

CruiseCraft V

The CruiseCraft V from Twin Anchors Houseboats fleshes out our list in true style, sleeping up to 24 people in 7 staterooms. Twin Anchors describes the CruiseCraft V as “the ultimate floating resort,” and that’s no exaggeration! Three separate decks offer three separate ways to have fun, from the Texas Deck’s oversized hot tub and swim-up bar to the Bridge Deck’s covered BBQ/dining area and the main deck’s bar fridge and wine cooler. For more relaxing times, all three levels boast flatscreen LCD TVs with DVD players, allowing guests to watch different movies or shows on each deck all at the same time.

Key West

Bluewater Houseboats’ Key West is a houseboat with two things in mind: comfort and fun! This popular houseboat sleeps up to 21 people in 4 private staterooms, 3 cuddies, 2 sleeping lofts, 1 sofa bed, and 1 rare dinette table bed. Guests can enjoy the convenience of 2 full bathrooms and a hot water heater, as well as the endless culinary options provided by the included oven, microwave, BBQ, Coleman brand cooler, and dual refrigerators. The fireplace is a great place to warm up, but not as great as the decked out 8-person hot tub! For those who’d rather go swimming in the lake itself, this houseboat has two options for entering the water: a swim ladder (the slow method) and a built-in waterslide (the fast method). Whether you’re celebrating a family vacation, a corporate retreat, or a bachelor(ette) party, this houseboat has all the amenities needed to provide a fun and adventure-filled trip.
