From the shoreline of Kelowna, the water takes over: a wide, glassy tableau of pale blue where islands and beaches slip by as you ease along in a premium Manitou. Liquid Ride’s signature offering is built for days that favor slow motion — sun, music, swim breaks and the occasional stretch of confident cruising — all on the company’s 23‑foot, 135‑horsepower platform.
