By Cheryl Bradstock Little River Boatworld, "First on the Shuswap" since 1966. Celebrating 50 years! Garth and Cheryl Bradstock have been the proud owners/operators for the past 16 years. We continue to do our best to carry on the tradition of superior customer service. We try to provide a fun, safe and enjoyable work environment for our staff so they can be at their best to assist our customers with all their boating needs. Little River Boatworld is a fully integrated marine dealership located on Shuswap Lake and the Trans Canada Highway in Sorrento. Our customer base is from all over BC, Alberta and beyond. We have sold boats into northern Saskatchewan and even the western part of the United States. We sell new and used boats, service all makes and models, and have a fully stocked parts and accessory department. We moor 200 boats and store boats for winter inside buildings to protect them from the elements. Our detail shop can bring any boat back to life with a cut polish, wax and full interior clean. We like to support other business in the Shuswap area and work with many different local companies and trades for upholstery and canvas repairs, custom builds as well as fibreglass and welding experts. Our gas dock is busy all summer long; we are open 7 days a week from April 1st to October 31st. Our Toyshop is stocked with a great selection of water toys, (wake and surf boards, tubes, skis etc.) life
jackets, clothing, Nautical décor, safety equipment and accessories. We receive a lot of compliments from our customers about our selection of men’s and ladies wear. We employ our staff year round so they can enjoy a secure career with us and our customers can enjoy consistent quality customer service. Most of our staff have been with us from the beginning and are proud to be a part of this successful Marina and Boat Dealership. We truly love where we live and work, it’s "Paradise". Garth and Cheryl recently sold the business to Mr. Sean Huang, a Vancouver resident who has a background in development and a passion for the lake and boating. This change in ownership will not affect the business or the long term service provided to the community as Garth and Cheryl will continue to run the company as if it’s their own. Our staff members are excited and we will continue to provide our community with the same level of superior customer service that our customers have always expected of us. Over the next several months Sean will be assembling a local development team to work with Garth and Cheryl to assist with plans for upgrades and to develop an expanded vision of Little River Boatworld. We are really excited to make boating better on Shuswap Lake for the next 50 years. The Kicker appreciates the advertising support from Little River Boatworld. Wishing you continued success for the next 50 years.
