Lake Mohave Houseboat Rentals
Whether you are looking for an adventure or a tranquil spot to unwind, Lake Mohave houseboat rentals are an ideal vacation choice. Lake Mohave offers year-round activities for fishermen, boaters, sunbathers and swimmers. Amazingly, this lake is home to three out of four of America's desert ecosystems. In the surrounding area, visitors will find the Sonoran Desert, the Mohave Desert and the Great Basin.
Lake Mohave is the Perfect Destination for a Houseboat Rental
Placed within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Lake Mohave is home to plants and animals that are found nowhere else in the world. While it may feel calm, the lake is teeming with life under the gentle waves. Spanning 290 square miles, it offers scenic areas that can only be reached by a boat.
From Lake Mohave boat rentals, visitors can enjoy parasailing and kite surfing at the lake. Both of these activities can be enjoyed at the Nine Mile Cove and the Six Mile Cove. For fishing options, make sure to get a license in Arizona and Nevada. Once you are licensed, you can enjoy catching catfish, perch, striper bass, blue gill, largemouth bass, German brown trout, crappie, cutthroat trout and rainbow trout.
Houseboats Give You Freedom to Explore & Relax
For hiking options, visitors at Lake Mohave have to check out the Grapevine Canyon Waterfall. Forget about the stress and distractions of everyday life as you navigate this short hike. This three-mile hike offers views of a gorgeous waterfall and petroglyphs along the trail. The Desert Discovery Trail is another popular hike in the area.
Meanwhile, wildlife lovers will love the fish hatchery and native wildlife at Willow Beach Harbor. Telephone Cove offers secluded inlets, tranquil beaches and perfect coves for fishing. If you are lucky, you may catch sight of desert bighorn sheep, coyotes, bats, mule deer or bobcats in the area. The area is also home to desert tortoises, American coots and owls.
Experience the magic of Lake Mohave from the graceful confines of a houseboat. While you relax on top of your watery home, desert wildlife will roam along the shores nearby. If you want to experience California's best lake, you cannot go wrong by staying in a Lake Mohave houseboat rental.

Lake Travis Houseboat Rental FAQ
Learning How to Drive the Boat - Is there a video people watch, live training, combo of the two methods?
All destinations have an orientation at the time you pick up the houseboat. That orientation includes a walkthrough of the boat and explanation of how everything works. Also as part of the orientation, houseboat renters are instructed on how to operate (drive) the houseboat. There is also an instructional DVD that renters can watch after the orientation on the TV in the houseboat. All houseboats have manuals on board with information that was covered in the orientation and often more in depth. Renters are encouraged to ask questions during the orientation.Are there driver requirements for steering the houseboat? Min age, valid license, etc?
All our destinations require the renter be a responsible adult at least 21 years of age with a valid driver’s license. A responsible adult must be on the houseboat during the rental period.What Are the Houseboat Rental Pickup and Drop Off Times?
General pick up and drop off times are as follows:
- Pickup between 8 and 10 am on the first day
- Drop off between 2 and 4 pm on final day
What Do We Do When Arriving at the Marina?
Renters should find the orientation office and get instructions from the marina staff on where to go to unload their belongings to start loading the houseboat. Wait for advice from the staff before unloading as often times there are staff available to assist you. Renters should be patient when they arrive, starting a houseboat vacation can be a task that takes time and the staff wants to ensure everything is in order so that renters have everything they need.Is Pre-Boarding (option to stay on the boat overnight the day before) Allowed?
Pre-boarding is allowed at Lake Mohave for an additional fee. Fees vary based on the houseboat selected, the pricing is comparable to a hotel stay for a similar sized group.How far in advance should trip be reserved? Is it too late to book this season
We recommend booking 3 to 6 months in advance.Cancelation and refund policy
Cancellation and refund policy varies by destination. Please ask one of our experts for the cancellation and refund policy specific to the destination you plan to visit.What to Pack? - Things outside clothes swim suit, etc
Guests should plan on bringing attire appropriate to the activities they will enjoy during the houseboating vacations. For most, that means a couple of swimsuits, some t-shirts or loose-fitting tops and some flip flops. A large brimmed hat and plenty of sun block are good ideas for protection from the sun.
If a guest is going to one of our destinations in the spring or the fall, a light jacket and a few pairs of pants are a good idea for the evenings.
Other ideas include some of your favorite DVD’s for night time watching, board games and/or playing cards and of course your favorite music.
What Equipment is on Board?Coolers, bedding, towels, fresh water, etc?
Equipment and amenities on board vary by destination and by houseboat. We list the amenities for each houseboat on our website.
Standard equipment on houseboats at all our destinations include:
- Fully equipped kitchens with everything needed to prepare and serve meals
- Barbecue Grills
- Some cleaning supplies
- A supply of toilet paper and paper towels
- A freshwater tank
Where and when to anchor boat? Is there a best time of day? Location?
Houseboats are not equipped with anchors as anchoring requires additional expertise and isn’t as safe as mooring a houseboat. Mooring is the process of securing the houseboat to the shore where there are no underwater obstructions. Renters will be provided with all the equipment and instructions on how to moor the houseboat. We recommend beaches or coves where there will be some shelter from the wind, especially at night while you’re sleeping. Renters should plan to moor the houseboat to the shore at least 2 hours prior to sunset.
How long of a trip is recommended for first-timers? What about experienced houseboaters?
We recommend a 4 day/3 night or a 3-night trip as a minimum trip length to our first time houseboaters so that they have the full experience but aren’t burden by extra days if (in the very unlikely event) they don’t like the houseboating experience.
Experienced houseboaters typically will rent for a full week or more!
How many people will a boat hold? Do infants count as people?
Houseboats accommodate different size groups depending on the size and amenities on the houseboat. All persons count towards the total regardless of age. Houseboat maximum group sizes are set as a safety standard by the US Coast Guard and cannot be exceeded.Any meal planning tips
We absolutely recommend meal planning. Groups should start out by assigning different individuals in the group responsible for specific meals or snacks during the trip. Once that assignment has been made, make a menu for those meals and shop accordingly. Make a detailed shopping list and make sure you get everything you need. It is very inconvenient to be miles out on the lake and does not have the ingredients you need to make a specific meal. Don’t forget condiments, cooking oil and spices!!
All of our destinations have shopping nearby. We recommend bringing dry goods (cereal, pancake mix, spices, etc.) from home if you’re driving and shopping locally near your destination for refrigerated items like milk, meats, eggs, etc.
Many of our destinations have shop and stock services. Ask us about these convenient services while scheduling your houseboat vacation with one of our experts.
Can You Water Ski Behind a Houseboat
Houseboats travel at a maximum of around 10 miles per hour, which isn’t fast enough for water skiing.Can you add on watercraft rentals or other things like paddleboards? Can I bring my own?
Speedboat, personal watercraft (jet ski) and water toy rentals are popular additions to a houseboat rental vacation and we have these items at most of our destinations.
Water toys can include water skis, wakeboards, ski tubes, kayaks and paddle boards.
You are welcome to bring your own speed boats, personal watercraft, and water toys.
Some of our destinations have special inspection requirements for speedboats and personal watercraft so please inform our staff if you are planning to bring these items when you are scheduling your trip.
Will cell phones work or will there be WIFI
Cell phones will work at all of our destinations, although sometimes reception can be spotty or just not available depending on your proximity and line of site to a cell tower.
WIFI is not available to houseboat renters while they are out on the lake. There is WIFI at the marinas for some of our destinations.
Can you lock the doors?
You can lock the doors on a houseboat, although it is rare that you would have to do so.What can you do on a houseboat? Hot tub, slide, diving board, etc
All houseboats have a swimming platform on the back of the houseboat with a ladder that comes down into the water for easy re-entry onto the houseboat. Many of our houseboats have swim slides.
Some of our houseboats have hot tubs, covered top deck sitting areas, wet bars, and premium onboard sound and video systems. Some houseboats even have satellite television.
Is Smoking or Alcohol Allowed on the Houseboat?
All of our houseboats are non-smoking. Alcohol is allowed onboard all houseboats. Normal “rules of the road” apply to operation/piloting of the houseboat. There shouldn’t be open containers near the helm while the houseboat is being piloted. Houseboat pilots should not be under the influence while operating a houseboat.Are Firearms Allowed on the Houseboat?
We respect gun owners, hunters, and target shooters, but firearms are not allowed on the houseboats. If you’re a concealed or open carry permit holder, please ask us about the rules specific to the destination you are visiting.Do you need a small boat? Can you tow a small boat with your houseboat?
Small boat rentals are not required, but they do make a great recreation option allowing for water sports as well as faster/more economical exploration of the destination.
Yes, you can tow the smaller boat behind the houseboat.
If Lake Levels Are Low, Will it Impact My Trip?
Lake levels rarely (if ever) affect a renters’ enjoyment of their time at our destinations. Typically, all the same opportunities for fun are available whether water levels are high or low. In extremely low water levels there can be certain areas of the lake no longer accessible.Will I Get Seasick?
Motion or seasickness is very rare on inland bodies of water because if there are any waves, they are very small.How do I refuel if needed mid trip?
Most of our houseboats have very large fuel tanks which provide enough fuel for a full week-long trip. If a renter does need to refuel, they would need to find a marina with a fuel station for refueling. The staff at most marinas are very helpful and will even board your houseboat so that you can safely pull in and out of the fueling station.How fast do houseboats go?
About 10 miles per hour is the top speed for a houseboat.What to do in case of an emergency in the middle of a lake?
Every houseboat is equipped with a CB radio where a special channel is reserved strictly for emergencies. Instructions on how to call in an emergency are part of the rental orientation.Are there extra precautions for children on houseboats?
Water safety is paramount with children and adults alike. For young children, a life vest should be worn at all times when the child has access to the water. Life vests are provided at all destination at no charge. However, we do recommend that you consider purchasing a life vest for your child at a local sporting goods store prior to you houseboating vacation. In this way, you can ensure a well fitted and comfortable life vest.Are boats wheelchair accessible?
We have specific houseboats at Lake Mohave that are wheelchair accessible.Are life vests required?
Life vests are provided on every houseboat and you are encouraged to wear a life vest if you’re not a confident swimmer when you have access to the water. Children should wear life vests at all times that they have easy access to the water.How do I know where I am going (GPS)?
Every houseboat has a map and navigational instruction is provided as part of the orientation.
