Welcome aboard and thank you for choosing Waterway Houseboat Vacations. We are proud to serve your holiday experience needs on beautiful Shuswap Lake system. Please read through this guide. It will help you to understand the procedures and policies related to your houseboat vacation. If there is anything at all that you need, please call us at 1-877-WATERWAY (928-3792) and our res-ervations specialists will be happy to help you.

We are asking our guests to assist us in a couple of ways. Waterway has been involved in develop-ing environmental programmes to help protect our beautiful Shuswap Lake system. We have im-proved our on-boat recycling facility. We ask that our guests do not bring any glass beverage con-tainers onto the boats. Grey water discharge will eventually be a thing of the past on the Shuswap. We ask you to assist us in achieving this goal. Our hot tubs may no longer be dumped out in the lake, only back at Waterway base. Please conserve the amount of water you use, as some of it does end up in the lake. Also, to reduce the impact, please take showers out in the lake, not while the boats are beached. Houseboats should be beached at a distance at least as great as the length of your vessel from the neighboring boat. This is both for safety and environmental reasons.

Our parking lots can get very congested. We fully understand that you want to get your trip start-ed, but we suggest that the parking lot is not the place to throw footballs, Frisbees, etc. due to safe-ty and damage concerns. The consumption of alcohol is both illegal and prohibited on our proper-ty. Parking will be unavailable until just prior to your sailing time. Our friendly staff will be happy to direct you to park facilities, restaurants and pubs, all of which are nearby. You won’t have to wor-ry about being here for when your houseboat is ready, as we will get a cell phone number from you so we can get in touch the minute your vacation is ready to go!

Our team has been hard at work in the off season improving our operation. We have introduced an extensive quality control inspection programme to ensure you the most trouble free vacation ev-er! Waterway Houseboats is the first houseboat company in the world to offer high speed internet on all of our boats, so you can cruise and surf to your heart’s content with no additional fees. The system has been set up as plug n play. Ask us for more details. Tune to 1010 AM on your radio for more detailed instructions as you arrive at our location.

We are introducing the new Waterway Activity Center this year down on A dock, which is the departure dock. Come check us out as we have a wide assortment of adventure rentals to choose from, which will certainly add some spice to your houseboat vacation. We have canoes, kayaks, per-sonal water craft, ski and wakeboard boats, patio boats, paddle boards, water trampolines, downhill and cross country mountainbikes. We can also assist you in setting up some guided mountainbike tours around the lake or shuttling for downhill biking. We hope you drop by for a look.

We are looking forward to a fabulous season and we are very pleased you have chosen to vacation with us. Our team hopes you have the best vacation ever!

Bon Voyage,

Neil Millar, General Manager

WELCOME TO WATERWAY!

WHAT TO EXPECT UPON ARRIVAL

Waterway Houseboat Vacations strives to provide you with the best guest experi-ence possible. There are some things which will ensure that your holiday is a great success. The departure times, as advertised, are our goals. As with many things, sometimes situations prevail that can disrupt our best planning. We are at the mercy of many issues that include, but are not limited to: train bridge openings, weather, guests returning late, accidents, power failures, etc. During our peak sum-mer months, we have the same limitations that any business has when operating at full capacity (think stores at Christmas, ski resorts at Christmas, Disneyland at Spring break, etc.). This will occasionally mean waiting in line and some minor delays. If you arrive prior to the departure times for your trip, let us know you are here at the main office and then head into town to take advantage of the parks, beaches restaurants, etc. that are available. We will call you as soon as your house-boat is ready and this will assist us in moving returning guests out, freeing up park-ing and being ready for your arrival. When you are returning to dock at the end of your fabulous trip, it may be wise to come in a little earlier on the busy days, if you wish to get a quick start. Otherwise come into Mara, let the dock staff know you are ready to return and enjoy the sun and beautiful Mara Lake. Our target loading times are as follows:

Morning: 8 AM -12 PM (or when the houseboat is fully serviced)

Bon Voyage: 6 PM-8 PM (or when the houseboat is fully serviced)

Early Board: 8 PM-10 PM (or when the houseboat is fully serviced)

WHAT TO EXPECT UPON ARRIVAL

Tune in to 1010 on your AM dial

Upon arrival a Waterway Staff member will give you directions for parking and for checking-in. Upon check-in to the office the captain and co-captain of your boat will do your paperwork. The captain must be the holder of the credit card for the deposit and signing of the contracts (captain must be 19 or 25 on the Legacy 94). You may wish to discuss this with your group prior to arrival. The contracts take about 20 minutes to go through thoroughly. You can help us speed up this process by downloading and reading the contracts off of our web-site, www.water-wayhouseboats.com/GuestServices prior to arrival.

Please note which programme you have signed up for (AM, Bon Voyage or Early Boarding). The office staff will not know the name of your boat until it is ready for boarding as the boats are being cleaned, serviced and inspected for your safe and enjoyable vacation.

Your damage deposit and insurance charges are due upon arrival if they have not been previously paid for. We accept cash, Visa and Master Card as payment in the office. We can process up to 3 cards per reservation.

Check in Times

AM sailing: arrive to *check in* anytime after 8am

Bon Voyage: arrive to *check in* no earlier then 4:30 pm

Early Boarding: arrive to *check in* no earlier then 6:30pm

* Please note this is a check in time only, this is not a boarding time*

Help us to make your check in process as speedy as possible by adhering to the above mentioned check in times. If you do arrive earlier, we will have to ask you to come back later, as we will not have any parking available for our evening arrivals until, the guests who have just returned from their houseboat trips, have moved their vehicles out of the parking lot.

Feel free to use our public beach or the one in town (just a short distance away from our marina) to pass time. Guests can provide us with a cell phone number and Waterway Houseboats will call you when your boat is ready.

Please note alcohol consumption is prohibited in our parking lot.

Waterway Houseboats has a large parking lot with a smaller overflow parking area. Unfortunately, as large as the parking area is, it gets very congested. We would encourage all of our guests to bring as few vehicles as possible if they wish to utilize our parking area.

We will direct you to the appropriate parking (vehicles such as trucks with trailers, RV’s, buses will be parked in our overflow lot). Please understand that it is illegal to consume alcohol in our parking lot and it is prohibited. We also can not allow activities such as football and Frisbee throwing in our parking lot due to potential damage and injury. There are wonderful public facilities very close by and our staff would be happy to point you in the right direction. You can leave your cell phone number with Guest Services and they will contact you as soon as your boat is ready.

We do have security that patrols our property at night. We do offer complimen-tary parking, however we can not be held liable for any damage or thefts which may occur. This is not a common occurrence but it has happened on occasion.

Please ensure that our parking attendants office is aware of the vehicles parked in our lot and all vehicles must visibly display a Waterway issued parking pass showing trip dates and boat name.

PARKING

When you return from your Waterway Houseboat Vacation your houseboat will have the septic pumped out, the boat fueled, then docked. Once it has been ser-viced and checked-out you can go back on board and remove your belongings. At this time you have the option of Express Check-out or Regular Check-out.

Express Check-out is for our guests that would like to leave right away. They can just load their gear into their vehicles and head off. Their account will be charged for the fuel, any bottled water used and any damaged or missing items. These amounts will be taken out of your security deposit and your credit card will be refunded for the difference. You will receive in the mail your final invoice along with a final check-out confirmation.

Regular Check-out takes a bit longer. The office will be advised of your fuel charges and any other charges. You will then need to go into the office to “check-out”. Your fuel and any other charges will be charged to your account and you will receive your security refund less any expenses at this time.

To expedite your departure and help accommodate the next group of Waterway Vacationers, your assistance in making sure the following will be done before you arrive back in dock will be greatly appreciated.

Please:

• Make sure your bimini is up and open

• Place all garbage and recycled bottles on the front deck (Starboard side)

• Have all personal items removed from cupboards and fridge

• Have luggage packed and ready in front salon

• Turn off propane

• Have boat clean & tidy (all dishes washed and put away)

• Leave all rental bedding on the beds

Cancellation PoliciesThere is a 10 day grace period from the time you book your houseboat to make any changes or cancellations with no facilitation fees and a full refund of your reservation deposit. You will be charged a $525/$750/$1000 facilitation fee if you make any changes or cancellations 60/90 days (60 days for Mirage 40, 42, 44, 54, 56,63,65 and 65U. 90 days for Mirage 66, Genesis 60,66,70,75 and the Legacy 94)or more prior to sailing. In the event of a cancellation or any changes LESS than 60/90 days prior to sailing your full charter may be forfeited.*All cancellations must be requested in writing.

*On cancellations LESS than 60/90 days Waterway will retain your full char-ter rental unless your boat is rechartered. You would then receive a refund of the re charter value less a facilitation fee of $525/$750/$1000 and any specials or discounts we have to offer to recharter the houseboat and we would refund the difference.

Final Rental PaymentThe full rental payment is due 60 DAYS prior to your sailing date, with the excep-tions of the Mirage 66, Genesis models, and Legacy 94 which are due 90 DAYS prior to your sailing date. Your reservation will be cancelled without notice if we do not receive payment in full by the due date.

Additional ExpensesYour costs are minimal. You pay for the gas and propane you use during your vacation and daily insurance during your trip. Your gas costs will vary depending on how you operate your boat and how much time you spend cruising. Most of our customers spend around $110-$150/day on gas, this is an estimate only but is a good figure for budgeting purposes. Propane also will vary with use and would average between $50-100 per trip. Your insurance will be $34/day plus applicable taxes and each sailing will be charged a $50 environmental fee.

Upon arrival, we require a $2500 Security deposit for most of our vessels, The Mi-rage 66 and Genesis models require a $5,000 and the Legacy 94 requires a $7,500 security deposit. This deposit is refundable less any outstanding charges including lost or damaged items, cleaning charges, or any damage resulting from negligence. This deposit is payable by cash or credit card; no personal cheques will be accepted in the office once you arrive at the marina. Please note: Security deposit will double if insurance is not purchased.If you have any questions, please contact our office at 1-877-928-3792, or by email reserva-tions@waterwayhouseboats.com and one of our representatives will be happy to help you. We invite you to visit our website at: www.waterwayhouseboats.com.

Waterway Houseboats is co-operating with the Ministry of the Environment and being pro-active in protecting the Shuswap Lake system. We are initiating major retrofits of our fleet to deal with the grey water issue. Waterway continues to use the environmentally friendly products, we urge you to use only the provided environmentally friendly products as well. Waterway is also embarking on an extensive education campaign on water use, recycling and other environmental initiatives. Waterway has invested considerable resources into the installation of water and sewer provided by the district to bring our facility up to a higher standard. We continue to look for ways to reduce our environmental footprint.

In partnership with the Ministry of Environment, Columbia Shuswap Regional District, and other parties, Waterway Houseboats is dramatically reducing the quantity of grey water that is ending up in Shuswap Lake. As one step in an ongoing programme to reach zero discharge, we have de-commissioned all of our washing machines on our houseboats. Dryers will still be available for your convenience. Our hot tubs will not longer be able to be drained into the lake, they will be pumped out upon the return of your vacation. We appreciate your assistance in helping us improve the water quality of the Shuswap Lake system.

Thank you for understanding with regard to this matter. If you have any questions or concerns in regards to this matter or your sailing please contact Guest Services at 1-877-928-3792.

*Please note: When beaching your houseboat(s) please ensure that you are beached a minimum of a houseboat length away from any other houseboats/boats. This will keep a good flow of water between boats, and will also protect you if a storm occurs.

Please visit www.waterwayhouseboats.com/GuestServices to preview the required rental forms for your vacation.

We at Waterway Houseboats strive daily to adopt practices which protect our pristine environment. From biodegradable soaps and shampoos to an enhanced recycling program, we are the leaders in “green” practices. Therefore, in order to enhance that effort, we urge you to consider bringing with you foodstuffs and beverages that are contained in plastic, or some other recyclable material. We also encourage you to please use the provided biodegradable soaps and shampoos on your boat. In short, we are specifically asking our Guests to avoid bringing glass containers, to avoid the risk of broken glass on our beaches.

In closing, we wish to thank you for assisting us in the effort to protect the beauty that is the Shuswap Lake. Your friends at Waterway Houseboats
