Houseboat Magazine — January 2018

36 JANUARY | FEBRUARY 2018 WWW.HOUSEBOATMAGAZINE.COM

Twin Anchors Marine has been owned and operated by the
same family since 1977, the longest continuous ownership in the
industry. Prior to the turndown in the houseboat industry, Twin
Anchors added accommodation units to their product mix, building
accommodation units for the oil and gas industry. Now this com-
pany has opened its market to residential housing, building holiday
homes and cabins throughout British Columbia.
Twin Anchors designs are distinguished by an exclusive unitized
cabin and bridge and engineered bridgeneck truss system. It also
has no bearing interior walls, having that cathedral-like feel. All
aspects of design are premium to give each vessel a true trade-
marked stately essence.
Currently, Twin Anchors is planning for two large commercial or-

luxurious, distinctive-style houseboat in 2018.

Owner Quote
“They build a constantly evolving product that just gets better
with every evolution. They’re very responsive and the biggest thing
I would say is the way you tell the quality of a company is not how
great they treat you when you’re spending money, but how great

fantastically.”
