The 42 foot passenger cruise
boat suitably named the "Spirit of the Okanagan" was built
locally by Wayne (Bones) Sealy and Trudi Clarke. Registered at 22.52
tons, she is built to Naval Architect and Coast Guard Standards for
Passenger Vessels, standards far surpassing requirements for a similar
vessel intended only for recreational use. All building and building
materials were strictly regulated and inspected by
Canada Coast Guard/DOT.

Reopened in 2002, by Lawrence Johnson and Candace Martin, ownership was passed to Carole & Richard McLean in 2008. Cruise Okanagan is one of the leading
attractions in Vernon, BC. It is a "must do" if you want
to experience the Okanagan. With a 32 person + 3 crew capacity, Cruise
Okanagan welcomes tour buses, large groups and gatherings. Bring your
guests, family and friends for some summertime fun on the Lake.

Powered by 2 Volvo Penta
engines, the "Spirit of the Okanagan" leisurely cruises
down through Adventure Bay, taking you on a fantastic scenic cruise
past sites such as Cameron Point,
Ellison Provincial Park, and
Carrs
Landing. Other viewing pleasures include the many majestic sailboats
departing from the Vernon Yacht Club, the now decommissioned M.V.
Okanagan tug boat stationed in Adventure Bay, as well as the spectacular
architecture of the many lakefront homes.

You can enjoy the open air
from the upper deck, either under the shade of the bimini or cozy
up at a bistro table for two. While cruising the sites, you can enjoy
any number of items from our on-board menu as well as your favorite
drink, be it a cola or a margarita (we serve great frosty brew too!).

If it's raining when you
get to the sunny Okanagan, No problem! Enjoy a great rainy day tour
inside our cozy interior cabin. The large windows on all sides allow
for great panoramic views. What a great way to spend a rainy day!
 Who
knows - you might even spot the
Ogopogo!
Carole and Richard and their friendly crew invite you to join them in their 1st season of fun on the Lake!
Happy Sailing!
