Houseboat Rental FAQs
Can you sleep in a houseboat?
Yes, you can sleep overnight on the water with a houseboat rental. Houseboats are great options for people who love being on the water - because you can combine your love for boating with your accommodation on a vacation. Houseboat sizes and amenities range drastically, but you can find many modest houseboats with one or two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a kitchen onboard.
Is driving a houseboat hard?
If you can drive a car safely, you can definitely learn how to drive a houseboat. If you are renting a houseboat for the first time, make sure you get an orientation from the owner or rental company before you cruise out from the docks. The main difference is that there are no brakes on a houseboat, so the only way to slow the boat is to release the throttle slowly and always be looking far ahead to avoid any obstacles when navigating. Make sure you bring a valid driver’s license when renting a houseboat.
Which state has the best houseboat rentals?
There are many lakes across the country that offer incredible houseboating opportunities. Some of the best lakes for a houseboat rental include Lake Lanier in Georgia, Lake Vermillion in Minnesota, Lake Powell in Arizona, and Lake Cumberland in Kentucky.
How much are houseboat rentals?
Pricing for houseboat rentals starts around $200/night, but can range anywhere from $200 to over $1000 per night, depending on the location and the size of the vessel. If you are renting a large houseboat to accommodate many people, the cost will be more but it could be cheaper once you split with everyone onboard. Houseboats are a fun way to combine an activity like boating with your accommodation, which is sometimes a cheaper way to experience both instead of booking a vacation rental AND a boat rental.

Adrian was great. Super communicative and accommodating of anything we asked for. The boat crew was great too, took good care of us. We had a nice cruise to Los Arcos and swam for a while. The crew made snacks, sandwiches and drinks for us.

We had a fantastic trip with my wife and her parents. We had their catamaran for 8 hours. We took a relaxing tour of the shoreline on the way to Los Arcos where we snorkeled. We continued south along the coast to another snorkel spot that we had to ourselves. The crew kept us well fed and hydrated. After lunch we went deeper in the bay looking for sealife. We were treated to a large school of dolphins swimming with the boat and later a mother / baby humpback (the crew was excellent about keeping an appropriate distance and killing the engine). Thank you!

Adrian was amazing and kept close contact the entire time; all the way until we got on the boat. His Crew (Chuey, Freddy and Julio) was unbelievable. They were very pleasant and made sure we were having the best of times from the time we walked down the dock until we left. We can’t say enough great things about this experience. Skip your timeshare presentation and book with Adrian!!!

Adrián will get back to you promptly and answer any questions you have. He and his crew were awesome. The first thing the crew asked was “what would you like to experience today?” And then they made it happen. We had 3 children and nine adults and we all had a great time.

From the first moment I booked a day trip on Cynthia for myself and five friends, Adrian was excellent with communication. The crew was also wonderful and attentive. They insured our safety and also insured we had a grand time! I went with the open bar and additional lunch option, highly recommend! Julio and Papa Julio cooked us fajitas that tasted like home. We also went snorkeling and visited a secluded beach during our seven hour voyage which was spectacular. Overall if you’re looking for a day on a boat, look no further.

All of the crew were so helpful and amazing. Definitely opt in for the open bar and food. Freddy was so attentive and had margaritas ready for our entire group of ten through out the entire day. The boat ride was so smooth and the vessel was clean and well kept. One of the best boat charters I’ve ever been on
