IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
HOUSEBOATS
are rented by the DAY not by the night. The houseboat must be fueled and back by 4:00 p.m. on the last day of rental. Houseboats may only be operated during daylight hours.
MINIMUM RENTAL
is 3 days, 2 nights for houseboats during the summer season. Shorter rentals are available with marina approval during the value season. During the Value Season, boarding is available any day of the week except Wednesday and Thursday. The rate will be determined at the time of booking.
EARLY BOARDING: For a $200 fee plus tax, you may load and sleep on your houseboat the night prior to your departure. YOU MAY
NOT LEAVE THE MARINA. On the day of your arrival, you will receive instruction on operating the boat and you may depart first thing in the morning, after your official checkout.
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS OPTION. It will save you a great deal of time in loading your boat and money on the cost of hotel rooms should you have a large group.
HOUSEBOAT BOARDING
begins at 7 a.m. in the summer season and 8 a.m. October 1st to May 1st. For scheduling, check with marina office upon arrival. Houseboats must be returned, fueled and unloaded
by 4 p.m. on the afternoon of the last day. They offer several boating schedules to accommodate your vacation needs. Please refer to the chart below to plan your vacation.
