Handi-Boat Society 2025: A Record-Breaking Year
Record Number of Smiling Guests
In 2025, the Handi-Boat Society of Alberta proudly welcomed 686 guests aboard the Santa Maria, each disembarking with a smile. This figure does not include the resolute crew members, who never fail to smile when witnessing the joy of our guests. The 2025 season stands as a new record for The Handi-Boat Society of Alberta.
How We Achieved This Milestone
We achieved success by scheduling more trips during the extended summer days and incorporating weekend excursions. The overwhelming interest from guests encouraged us to maximize the number of people we serve each season.
Plans for Continued Growth
Building on this momentum, we are committed to increasing the number of trips available. This includes maintaining weekend trips and late afternoon excursions. With your ongoing enthusiasm, we are optimistic about surpassing the 700-guest mark in the coming year.
Thank You to Our Community
We extend a heartfelt thank you to all our guests, volunteers, and donors for their unwavering interest, support, and flexibility. Your contributions are the foundation of our continued success.
Get Involved
If you are interested in exploring any of our new trip options, please contact our Booking Coordinator at info@handiboat.ca. We look forward to welcoming both new and returning guests.
Supporting the Handi-Boat Society
The Handi-Boat Society of Alberta operates entirely through volunteer efforts. Although taking part is our main source of satisfaction, we welcome donations to help cover both capital and operating costs. As a registered charity, we can provide receipts for all contributions.
We encourage clients to offer a suggested donation of $200.00 per trip, though our actual expenses average around $550.00 per outing. If you or your company would like to sponsor a trip—and display your company decal on our boat—please reach out to us for more details.
We are seeking volunteers to fill roles including first mate, captain, project director, or board member. Volunteering benefits both individuals and communities even after limited involvement. Thank you to our clients and donors for your ongoing support. We look forward to serving you this year. WELCOME ABOARD!
