Water travel has always been a fascination of ours. While Deborah grew up around boats and lake weekends, Scott came to this passion for watercraft later on in our married life.
Over the years, we have owned several types of watercraft: sailboats, motorboats, kayaks, and, most recently, we are looking forward to purchasing our first barge or pontoon boat, which we plan to convert into a shanty boat of our own.
This page showcases all the watercraft we have enjoyed, photographed, and written about over the years. You’ll find histories, anecdotes, stats, and photos in the posts for each craft. Join us as we embark on our next shanty boat adventure or browse the galleries to see where we have been.

Our Boats
Our Shanty Adventures on water have not ended. We have always loved riding the waves in one type of vessel or another. Check out the links below to see the ones we have owned and the blog to see our upcoming conversion of a pontoon boat to a Shanty Houseboat that we can travel the waterways with and, perhaps, someday, even The Great Loop.

Photography is a big part of what we do here at Shanty Travels, so we like to include photos that are representative of the places we see. Below are some of our favorites for this category.
