Boat of Garten itself is a thriving community, where regular events, festivals and talks take place throughout the summer. (Visit the Boat of Garten website to find out more.) There's a well-stocked local supermarket/hardware store/gift shop, M&B Stores, as well as a Post Office and Shop that also provides fresh coffee, specialist foods, a cash point and Internet access.
