Start & Return Time
Houseboat boarding is between 8AM & 10AM on the trip's start date and houseboats are due back by 3PM on their date of return. For example, a 3-day rental beginning Friday would be due back by 3PM on Sunday.

Reservation Deposit
A first day's rental deposit, prior to any applicable discounts or promotions, is required to confirm your reservation if made before 45 days from departure date, and will be applied directly toward the rental rate. A rental term is generally a minimum of 2 days depending on boat model and season. Some models are only available for a 3 or 7-day minimum.

Early Boarding Option
Take command of your houseboat the evening before departure by selecting the "Early Board" option when available. You'll spend the first night on the boat at the marina - with the opportunity to be one of the first out on the lake in the morning after your orientation.

Trip Cancellation Protection
Plans change. Emergencies happen. Trip Cancellation Protection is a valuable option for groups that may need to make last-minute changes to their reservations. This option protects your vacation investment in case of an emergency resulting in the cancellation of your rental.

When you purchase this protection, your houseboat deposit and rental payment become fully refundable if you cancel your trip due to an emergency, whether it is for medical, professional or personal reasons.

Trip Cancellation may only be purchased 45+ days prior to the start of your trip.

Trip Cancellation Protection is not available inside of 45 days from arrival at the marina and cannot be canceled or transferred once purchased. If your reservation dates change, and Trip Cancellation Protection has been purchased, this protection cannot be applied to the new reservation within 45 days of your trip.
