It's pretty much the best weekend of my life every year. I've been Captain and organizer of a trip each year for the last 5 years... takes a lot of work to get 18-22 people to get up there the same weekend but its all worth it. We usually go on Canadian long weekends as the party is huge.. 70-100 boats line up on Nielsen Beach for a crazy party. RPenner is right.. we used about $1000 for fuel between the houseboat and the wakeboat in a weekend. Don't bother with kegs, it would be virtually impossible to keep it cold all weekend. You are better off with good coolers and cans, at least the ice lasts longer. Its gets super hot up there during the summer... it was 35 celcius (about 100 degrees) in July when we went this year. I always use waterways houseboats, they have great staff and the bonus with them is the return time is usually 12-3pm on the final day, where twin anchors is 8-10 am. If you get an 8am return time, you have to leave the beach by 7am to get back in time as well as clean everything up that early. Try waking up 20 hungover people to get the boat clean at 7am... BTW, book super early. The good boats book up to a year in advance.. Any other questions just ask!
