Sunshine Houseboat Vacations Ltd. Information

Houseboating on beautiful Lake Koocanusa, British Columbia. Sunshine Houseboat Vacations Ltd. was founded in 1999 by Brant and Dianne Cullum, residents of Cranbrook, BC. The couple had a vision to offer houseboat charters on Lake Koocanusa stemming from some thoughtful insight during family camping trips to the lake. Resourceful entrepreneurs, Brant and Dianne understood the importance of having a competitive advantage and they knew that the area rivalled any other location. To begin, four original Three Bouys’ Suncruiser craft were purchased in Sicamous and transported to Lake Koocanusa. The first marina was established on a small piece of land located opposite the Elk River. This location helped the company establish its personality. As word spread about the area, charter bookings grew and brand new state of the art houseboats were added to the fleet. To accommodate growth a new location was secured and Sunshine moved to Gold Bay in the spring of 2006. In 2014 Sunshine will operate a fleet of 15 houseboats from their full service marina located on 4 hectares of land and 3 hectares of water. Sunshine is a thriving and growing tourism business on Lake Koocanusa. www.sunshinehouseboats.com
