Three Buoys Houseboats
01 — About

The brief.

Three Buoys Houseboats rents 40-foot Sportcruiser houseboats on Lake Temagami, part of a water system the operator describes as 2,000 miles of shoreline and 1,600 islands northeast of North Bay, Ontario. Each boat sleeps up to ten, with a private stateroom, sleeping loft, galley kitchen, four-piece bathroom, forced-air heating, a 500-square-foot sundeck, and a waterslide and swim grid. No boating licence is required; the operator issues a temporary boater's card and provides maps, lifejackets, and onboard equipment. Renters can fish, swim, cruise, and camp at crown-land sites along the shore. The company also rents canoes and small motorboats, and operates from Temagami, roughly 90 minutes north of North Bay via Highway 11.
