Hi gang, Rick Ostler here from North American Waterway bringing you Used Pontoon Boats along with news and views from the boating industry. Zelda McKenzie of Hampton was out paddling almost every day on the Kennebecasis River with her husband in their 14-foot flat bottom, handmade cedar canoe.
So much so that it was there that they hatched their business idea.
"We love the river and we spend at least 20 hours of personal time on the river each week," she said. "So we thought why not take people out on the river with us?"
Eco-friendly electric-motor pontoon boat
The couple decided to build their own eco-friendly electric-motor pontoon boat, which would allow them to take groups of people for a tour on the river. Thus, Zelda's River Adventures was born.
Regulated by Transport Canada, the pontoon boat can hold groups of 12 people, including Skipper Zelda.
It departs from the floating dock at the Lighthouse River Centre in Hampton for three-hour tours with available summer departure times at 8:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 6 p.m.
Customize your Pontoon Boat Tours
People can also customize their tours, which can be used for birthdays celebrations, weddings, team-building events or family outings. Up to four anglers can also book the boat for trolling on the river.
In whatever way they want to use it, McKenzie said, the river offers serenity.
"There's nothing like being on the river. You just leave your worries behind and enjoy God's nature."
Pontoon Boat is wheelchair accessible
The pontoon boat is also accessible for those in wheelchairs and is convenient for seniors who can't access a canoe or a kayak.
"Sometimes, they aren't capable of going out in a canoe," McKenzie said. "This gives them an opportunity to experience what some of us take for granted."
The cost for a three-hour tour is $30 for adults and $20 for children. Seniors and the disabled are offered a 10-per-cent discount.
Name their Pontoon Boat Contest
McKenzie is also holding a contest to name the boat on her website at www.zeldasriveradventures.ca
The winner will receive a trip for six.To book a tour, phone 653-0726 or 832-0726.
