Dealer Profile – White Water Marine

Scout 255

 

May 9, 2016

Located on a spacious lot just off Highway 101 outside of Halifax, White Water Marine is a family business in the truest sense. Les White founded the company in 1986 and today his sons Graham and Brian run the show, although dad still keeps an eye on things. Les’ daughter Patty Gauthier runs the parts department. Several other members of the extended family have also worked at the business over the years.

Given the companies location on the way to many of the provinces best fishing lakes it is not surprising Princecraft boats have been a top seller for many years. This year, in a move to larger glass boats, White Water has taken on the Scout line, including the LX255. They also sell Larson Boats and are full service dealers for Evinrude and Mercury outboards.

Jeanneau Yachts 55

Throw away the box, this is some fresh thinking

Seemingly part sailboat and part spaceship, the new Jeanneau Yachts 55 just busted through the boundaries of traditional yacht design. I couldn’t take my eyes off the bubble hardtop that met me at the dock and I stepped aboard with trepidation. A few hours later, I was planning how to spend my not-yet-won lottery winnings.

Paving the Way to Cleaner Boating – How a Commitment to Reducing our Environmental Impact is Inspiring Cleaner Boating in Ontario

By Dave Rozycki

Over the past seven decades, Ontario’s marina industry has developed alongside some of Canada’s largest freshwater lakes. Boaters have been able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and create lasting memories on the water, with certain marinas dating back to the 1960s. As we reflect on this rich history, we can begin to see trends in how our footprint may have had an effect on the environment, in not-so-positive ways. However, by embracing innovative solutions and adopting sustainable practices, both marinas and boaters hold the key to preserving and enhancing the quality of our lakes and marine life for generations to come.
