Above all else, Lake Powell is known for houseboating. One
reason is that we make it easy. Whether you're a seasoned
houseboater or a first-timer, we provide everything you need to
have the vacation of a lifetime - from instruction and advice to
sheets and towels. Houseboaters often say that if you can drive a
car or ride a bike, you can drive a houseboat. So let's get
started! First, let's go over the details - and then we'll get to
the fun part where you get to choose your houseboat.

Enhancing Your Houseboat Experience
Because houseboats are slow moving, most guests use their
houseboat as "home base" and choose the thrill of exploring the
lake and its coves on a powerboat or personal watercraft. Don't
have one? No problem. We have all kinds of water toys to rent - so
you can tow them right behind your houseboat.

Operating a Houseboat
Imagine driving a golf cart around the world's biggest parking
lot - that's how easy it is to operate a houseboat! In fact, you
don't need any boating experience or a captain's license.
Houseboats generally move at seven to ten miles per hour, letting
you cruise along at a relaxing pace that's perfect for soaking up
the sun and taking in the gorgeous scenery. Our experienced staff
will teach you everything you need to know and answer all of your
questions, so you'll feel like a pro before you even leave the
dock. We
make houseboating easy and fun!

monitor the exhaust from the engines and the generator. We work
hard to make sure our houseboats are safe, with superb maintenance
and regular safety inspections Here are additional safety items for
you to know:
- All houseboats are equipped with Coast Guard approved life
jackets

Houseboating Rules
With normal precautions and reasonable care, it's easy to make
your Lake Powell houseboating vacation safe and memorable.
Remember, you're on the water so life jackets are important -
especially for little ones (children under 12 must wear their life
jackets at all times if on a boat or the exterior of a houseboat).
Cliff jumping and cliff diving are prohibited within the boundaries
of Lake Powell and its tributaries. Of course, we always ask that
our guests protect and preserve this remarkable place for future
generations to enjoy!

Reserving Your Houseboat
We encourage you to book your houseboat well in advance to
ensure you get the boat with the space and amenities you desire.
However, short-notice reservations can often be accommodated.
Also, houseboats rent by the day - much like car rentals.
Most houseboats have a minimum rental period of 3 days.
A few houseboats require longer for the best deal, you should
consider renting for at least 6 days because the 7th day is
free.
