More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The late-afternoon sun lowers over Okanagan Lake as a 46-foot Hunter heels gently and the village of Naramata slips along the shore. Guests step aboard at the Naramata Marina and feel immediate change: wind, light on water, and space. For four hours the yacht becomes a classroom and a social lounge—sails trimmed, sheets taught, or loose for a lazy drift; paddleboards and swim spots are frequent stops.

Okanagan Lake lies in territory of the Syilx Okanagan people; the Naramata Bench developed into a prominent wine region in the early 20th century and shaped local settlement patterns.
Conservation
