The brief.

Egan Houseboat Rentals is a family-owned houseboat rental operator on the Trent-Severn Waterway, based at a marina in Omemee, Ontario in the Kawartha Lakes region — about 1.5 hours northeast of Toronto via Highway 115. The Kent Family took ownership in 2022, extending a marine business lineage that began with Bobcaygeon Boat Cruises in 1988. The rental fleet includes 28 houseboats across four classes — the 32' Seahawk, 40' Seahawk, 42' ThreeBuoys, and 56' Cruisecraft — sleeping 4 to 15 people, with cruising access to Stoney Lake, Clear Lake, Buckhorn Lake, and the 36 locks of the Trent-Severn system. No boating license is required; a 1.5–2 hour orientation is included with every rental. The operating season runs May through mid-October.
