Houseboating Vacations—Try Something Different!
It is said, tongue in cheek, that the first—and most famous—houseboat in the world is probably Noah's Arc. What a passenger list that must have been! Kidding aside, research asserts that houseboats have been around for centuries. The houseboat as a vacation vessel, however, is a relatively new phenomena. The fan base has been growing since the 1950's in the United States and Houseboats vacation are now popular around the world!

Forever Resorts luxury boats provide an evocative alternative to traditional, land-based hotel vacations and crowded cruise ships. Our beautiful houseboats offer a visceral "get away from it all" experience like no other, plus a sweet opportunity for intimate bonding with family and friends—and a personal connection with local people and places. Houseboats are guestrooms, meeting parlors, dining rooms, wine bars, spas and sun decks all in one. No need to pack and unpack every day—just settle in and get down to playtime.

Here's some frequently asked questions about houseboating vacations:

Do I need a license to rent/operate a houseboat?
No. If you're 21 with a valid driver's license you can rent and operate a houseboat. Extensive "orientation" is provided in advance and at the marina.

What's included when you rent a luxury houseboat?
In a word, everything! It's truly a home away from home: full kitchens, appliances, dishware, utensils, and microwave; linens & towels, TVs & stereos, waterslides, deck barbecue grill; and comfortable furniture. The boats are fully climate controlled; some models feature wet bars and hot tubs.

How far in advance should I book my trip?
To get exactly what you want it's best to book as early as possible. However, Forever Resorts hasseveral marinas & models, a robust inventory, and rents year round so "last minute" plans often work too. And don't forget to book a dayboat at the same time!

What time of year is best to take a houseboat vacation?
Honestly, every month provides a unique opportunity to enjoy the lake and its surroundings. Mostly it depends on your family and the activities you want to pursue. Fishermen like winter best; sun goddesses and kids tend to go more for June and July.

What's there to do while houseboating?
You can't get bored, that's for sure! There's fishing, boating, water-skiing, wake boarding, snorkeling, kayaking, canoeing, swimming and hiking. Or, hangout around the houseboat reading, sun tanning, visiting and napping.

How much does it cost to rent a houseboat?
Houseboating offers remarkable value on a cost-per-person basis—remember, boats sleep up to 12 people. The cost depends on the time of year, length of stay and the boat that's rented. Fuel costs depend on how far you drive the houseboat, how often, and how much your group utilizes the generator.
