Kelowna residents and visitors alike are in for a sweet treat this summer as the Purple Penguin Ice Cream Boat sets sail on Okanagan Lake. This unique ice cream boat, owned and operated by local entrepreneur Sarah Smith, is bringing a new level of fun and convenience to the lake experience.
The idea for the Purple Penguin Ice Cream Boat came to Smith while she was enjoying a day out on the lake with her family. She noticed that many people on the water were craving a cold treat, but had to make the trek back to shore to satisfy their cravings. That’s when she had the idea to bring the ice cream directly to the people on the lake.
The boat, which is a bright purple color and adorned with penguin decals, offers a variety of ice cream flavors, including classic favorites like chocolate and vanilla, as well as unique options like lavender honey and peach cobbler. There are also dairy-free and vegan options available, ensuring that everyone can indulge in a frozen treat.
Smith takes pride in sourcing her ice cream from local suppliers, supporting the community and providing customers with the freshest and most delicious options. She also offers a selection of toppings, such as sprinkles, chocolate chips, and gummy bears, to make each ice cream cone or cup a personalized creation.
The Purple Penguin Ice Cream Boat can be found cruising around Okanagan Lake on weekends and holidays, from 12pm to 6pm. It can also be booked for private events, such as birthday parties or corporate outings. Smith is excited to bring her business to the lake and provide a unique and enjoyable experience for all.
So, if you find yourself on Okanagan Lake this summer, keep an eye out for the Purple Penguin Ice Cream Boat and treat yourself to a delicious and refreshing ice cream. It’s the perfect way to cool off and make lasting memories on the beautiful lake.
