Welcome to our newly refreshed Handi-boat website.

We hope that you like what you see; if you do, please advise your colleagues or drop us a line to let us know how we are doing at [email protected].

WELCOME to all our new clients who and are booking for the first time! Amazingly, for the last two years our calendar was fully booked by the end of March.

We have a waiting list and, depending on the water level, will offer additional trips by opening our calendar a week earlier than originally posted. Given the great interest, we will increase the number of outings by offering weekend trips, shared trips, multiple trips during a single outing and late afternoon trips. (see below)

WEEKEND TRIPS.

 Although the calendar is not currently ‘available’ on weekends, we will make weekend trips available on request thru the Booking Coordinator at [email protected] .

SHARED TRIPS. 

For smaller clients who would be willing to share a trip with another smaller client, the Handi-Boat Society can facilitate such an arrangement

MULTIPLE TRIPS.

 For those larger clients who would like to bring out more than one group, we could accommodate more people by making more than one trip in a single day.

LATE AFTERNOON TRIPS.

We are blessed with long days in the summer so we can accommodate any organization that would be willing to take a late afternoon outing (after 2 pm) on request thru the Booking Coordinator at [email protected].

SECOND BOAT.

Given the great interest in our service, we are actively fund raising for a second boat to complement the Santa Maria. Our goal is to launch the La Nina next year. See the next para if you or your organization would like to make a tax deductible donation to help us out. The Handi-Boat Society of Alberta is a 100% volunteer organization, but we appreciate donations to help defray our capital expenses and operating costs.

We are a registered charity, and we can provide a receipt to anyone interested in supporting our activities. We currently encourage clients to offer a $200.00 donation per trip to help cover expenses. Our actual expenses are approx. $450.00 per trip. If you would like to sponsor us and have a company decal that can be put on the boat, this can be arranged.

VOLUNTEERS.

With the advent of La Nina, we will need more volunteers in different capacities. Consider volunteering as a first mate, a captain, project director or even a board member. We guarantee that after a few trips you will see how heartwarming this experience can be. We would like to thank our clients and donors for their continuing support and look forward to serving you this year. WELCOME ABOARD!
