Planning an exceptional houseboat
vacation…
Your rental does not require a special license
- we’ll “show you the ropes” on operating your
houseboat’s many features.
The Escapade galley
The steps to planning your vacation include:
• deciding how many you’ll invite
• where you will go (Shasta, the Delta, New
Melones Lake or Lake McClure)
• what houseboat model best suits your group
• when you want to go
Although summer is the most
Rentals from
popular vacation time, don’t
rule out the value seasons of
fall, winter & spring. The rates
are lower, the fishing is superb
and the crowds are gone. Rates per person per week
vary, but range from $99 per
person per week (one week aboard a 52’ with 14
persons during the value season) to $680 per
person per week (one week aboard a Renaissance
luxury rental with 10 persons during peak season).
Reserving in advance is recommended to ensure
the boat model and time period most desired are
available, however, cancellations always occur so
it’s never too late to book your trip, even during
the popular months of July and August.
