ABOUT THE BOAT

Join us on one of our most beloved vessels, the Bill Garden design Boathouse NO. 5. This vessel has a small cabin and aft seating that can comfortably accommodate up to 6 passengers for a lovely afternoon or evening picnic on the lake.

A fully-restored classic wood pocket cruiser, designed by Bill Garden and built by Gordon Lacey as a salmon fishing launch in Brentwood Bay, BOAT HOUSE NO. 5 is stunning example of this design.
