houseboat rental

Waterborne vacation lodging

A houseboat rental is a boat equipped for living aboard, available for temporary use.

Unlike typical boat charters focused on sailing, houseboat rentals emphasize the dwelling—sleeping quarters, kitchen, bathroom—with the vessel often staying moored or moving slowly on lakes and calm waterways: We got a houseboat rental on Lake Powell for the week.
