Spend a Week at Binnacle Island

Binnacle Island in the Thousand Islands near Gananoque is owned by the Syracuse Sail & Power Squadron.   The island's cottage and dock is available for rent on a weekly basis during the summer season.

 

Syracuse Sail & Power Squadron members have first choice but the property is otherwise available to other USPS or CPS members on a first come--first serve basis.  

 

The cottage has 2 bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with two twins, 1.5 baths, and a full kitchen with two screened in porches that offer panoramic views of the area.

For further information and booking please refer to the Syracuse Squadron website.

Our members, Cyndy and Don Smithies spent a week on the island and were very much impressed.  Check out their story in the August 2010 Companionway
