Testimonials

"One of our best summer memories is our visit with you for our houseboat tour.

Many of our families have never had the opportunity to have a tour on the lake via houseboat - it was truly a very special experience. You and your staff truly went above and beyond in making us comfortable. Hope that we will see you next year."

Wishing you the best and thank you from the bottom our hearts."

"In the past year we had a number of opportunities to enjoy your hospitality. The Birthday party cruise we put on for my wife was a great event and the 60 friends and family that came from all over western Canada were blown away by the experience. In addition you did a fabulous job of hosting our Rotary club for a breakfast meeting cruise. In addition to these events we managed to join you for a Blues cruise which was absolutely great.

I look forward to joining you again next summer."

"Tina and JC,

I would like to thank both you for making our reception to remember. We had people attend from all over Canada not to mention a special guest from China. Nothing can top a summer sunset cruise on "The Boardroom." Your hospitality was first class all the way and we would highly recommend your services to other parties looking for that special event that really takes it "over the top."

Best regards."

"I have had the opportunity to cruise on the Executive Houseboat many times and have always had a great time. The professionalism and hospitality shown by Captains JC & Tina Rathwell have been second to none. They go out of their way to make your time onboard a memorable experience The houseboat is the top of the line and provides all the amenities to suit any occasion.

I would thoroughly recommend their services to anyone."

"I wanted to tell you how much the July 28th Drinnan rehearsal dinner cruise was appreciated... We heard nothing but positives on your vessel and your professional service. I personally am grateful for your help in all aspects of the event. Our family members thought the whole concept was a perfect kick-off for a wedding and it was a great way to showcase this beautiful valley for the out-of-towners who raved about Kelowna.

Word of mouth is a powerful advertising tool so you can count on a lot of that in the future.

Thanks again."

I would like to personally thank you for your pleasant tour plus your additional assistance in carrying my mother off the boat and to the ramp. We were both very impressed and as a working member of the downtown community, I will recommend your service over and over. Again my sincere thanks for a unique and wonderful evening out in Kelowna, my home for twenty-six years.

The staff of Kelowna Christian School really enjoyed the afternoon; I have received so many positive comments from all. They loved the lunch!!! Yummy burgers!
