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.

Skippered Catamaran Rental in Marmaris and Gocek
We were a group of 3 couples that rent the boat for 3 all days! What an experience, the best we could imagine. The captain (Merter) was incredible, always available to help us with anything we needed. He knows the area really well and showed us amazing spots, including cleopatra bath! The Catamaran was very clean and modern, with a lot of space for 6 people, to enjoy and have fun. 2 cabines with private bathrooms and 1 master bedroom. It also had 2 eating areas (inside and outside) and plenty of space in the front of the boat to relax! Furthermore, it has some cool extras like padel board and snorkeling equipment. We had great 3 days in the boat and made a new friend! We certainly recommend it to everyone and we are looking forward to repeat the experience next year!

We had a great day on Philipp’s boat. He picked us up from Lindos and dropped us off in Mandraki Port. Philipp and Sam were friendly hosts, going out of their way to make the trip comfortable and easy, and provided a great selection of fresh fruit, pastries, beer, wine and soft drinks. We stopped at the beautiful Kallithea beach for swimming and relaxing before continuing our journey. Pro-tip if you’re thinking about taking the same journey: send your luggage by taxi separately, as lugging heavy luggage to the pier in Lindos is either a 10 minute walk over sand and narrow hill tracks or a downhill climb of similar length with many stairs, which isn’t fun in the Lindos heat.

What a wonderful family day we had with an amazing crew. Fillipe provided quite the tour around the most highlighted bays in Rhodes. We are very grateful for the family time and hospitality from the crew. The boat was beautiful and maintained to perfection. We absolutely recommend to anyone visiting the Island. Such a wonderful time! Thank you for making memories.
