Rental houseboats are an increasingly popular travel option for many people. Currently available in more than 30 U.S. states, most Canadian provinces, and a number of other countries from Africa to New Zealand, rental houseboats combine many features found in luxury waterfront hotels with the relaxed comfort and convenience of a lakeside cabin—all in spectacular natural settings and with a dash of adventure thrown in for good measure.
Rental Houseboats: Waterborne Recreational Vehicles
Like recreational vehicles, their landlocked cousins, rental houseboats offer you the choice of staying in one place for as long as you like or moving to a different location every night. And like RVs, the amenities on rental houseboats range from the pedestrian to the palatial. Besides comfortable sleeping quarters and a well-stocked kitchen, many rental houseboats include hot tubs and DVD players, and some boast special features such as barbecue grills and waterslides.
