Rates and season dates subject to change.
Houseboat Boarding
- Boarding is between 8 and 10 a.m. Check in at the rental office upon arrival. Houseboat must be returned to marina refueled, pumped out and unloaded no later than 2 p.m.
of the last day. We offer several boating schedules to accommodate your vacation requirements. Please refer to the chart to plan your trip. (Special scheduled arrangements can be made during the non-peak season based upon availability.)
All houseboats are rented by the day.
Minimum rentals are three (3) days. Trip length and departure / return information is below.
Early Boarding Option
- This is a great value! For an additional fee plus tax, you will be able to board your houseboat the evening before your scheduled departure day. This will allow you to load all of your vacation items onto the boat so you'll be ready to leave immediately after the houseboat orientation the following morning. A limited amount of early boards are available on a first come, first served basis and reservations must be made in advance.
Confirmation Deposit - A deposit is due when the reservation is made and does not
apply toward rental fee. Deposit is refundable when boat is returned on time in same condition as checked out.
Full Payment - Payment in full is required 60 days prior to boarding your houseboat. It is your responsibility to get this payment in on time!
Acceptable Rental & Deposit Payment - Cash, money order, cashier's check, traveler's check, MasterCard, VISA, Discover or American Express. No
personal checks or debit cards accepted, unless it has a Visa or Mastercard symbol. All Credit Card payments must be made in the name of the contracting party.
Cancellation Policy
- If you must cancel, notify us at least 60 days before your departure date. Your deposit will be refunded less a $150 cancellation fee. Cancellations received between 59 and 45 days before departure are subject to a cancellation fee equal to your deposit amount. Cancellations received less than 44 days before scheduled departure are subject to forfeiture of total prepayment. Full payment shall be paid at least 60 days before departure date. If full rental payment is not received at least 60 days before departure date, your reservation will be considered cancelled and your entire deposit will be forfeited. Reservations made less than 60 days in advance must be paid in full within 48 hours of booking.
If you must reschedule your vacation or change your equipment rental during the same year, there is a $50.00 change fee when original departure date is more
than 60 days in advance. Any rescheduling requests 59 days or less before original departure date will be treated as a cancellation. See cancellation policy. We regret that marina cannot make exceptions for personal emergencies as a cause for cancellation. For this reason, we recommend "Trip Cancellation Protection". For additional information regarding this option, see definitions below.
