Lake Powell Houseboat Rentals
Lake Powell is a part of one of the largest undeveloped regions in the continental United States. Within gorgeous Arizona, visitors can enjoy access to the neighboring airstrip at Page, Arizona. On a Lake Powell houseboat rental, visitors can check out the wild beauty of Glen Canyon and the deep blue waters of Lake Powell. Over thousands of years, the Colorado River cut through the sandstone to create the phenomenal canyon that visitors can see today. The area is popular for its orange-red cliff walls and the many recreational opportunities in the surrounding area.
Lake Powell Only Gets Better When You Rent a Houseboat
While you relax on a luxury houseboat rental, you can enjoy comfortable 70 to 80 degree water. This makes the lake perfect for days of swimming, fishing and water skiing. Side canyons on the lake are fun to explore and are just wide enough to fit a houseboat. Many visitors to the lake enjoy star gazing during the nighttime or hiking within the Glen Canyon Recreation Area. For a more relaxed experience, the region is home to sightseeing options and some of Arizona's best sunbathing beaches.
Don't Miss Out on Fishing, Adventure & More: Book Your Houseboat Today
For fishing options, the lake is full of Crappie, Smallmouth Bass, Bluegill, brown trout, Walleye and Striped bass. In just a day's trip, visitors can sail from one state to another since Lake Powell covers parts of Arizona and Utah. For an alternative experience, you can check out the courses at the Lake Powell National Golf Course.
The true adventure seeker can explore the many hikes that dot the surrounding recreation area. The Navajo Canyon encompasses eight miles and includes petroglyphs from prehistoric people. Meanwhile, the Mountain Sheep Canyon offers small hikes, slot canyons and excellent fishing. Visitors can also enjoy hikes like Last Chance Bay, West Canyon, Rock Creek Canyon and Oak Creek Canyon. A regional favorite is found at the Forbidding Canyon. After reaching the canyon in your houseboat rental, you can park the boat and hike 1.75 miles. Throughout the hike, you can enjoy the world's largest natural bridge and a rock formation that has been named one of the Seven Wonders of the World. No matter what type of adventure you are looking for, you can enjoy an unforgettable experience on a Lake Powell houseboat rental.

Houseboat FAQ LAKE POWELL, AZ
What’s it Like on a Houseboat?
Renting a houseboat is like sleeping in a luxury hotel room on the open water. It offers a way to enjoy the peaceful serenity of Lake Powell without the stress of traffic or hotel rentals. From barbecue grills to waterslides, your group can find the perfect amenities to suit your needs. Once you have found the right boat, all you have to do is reserve a spot and prepare for the adventure of a lifetime.How Do You Operate the Houseboat?
Most people learn to drive the houseboats in just a few minutes. You will 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. Renters are instructed on how to operate (drive) 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. Our Lake Powell destination also has a DVD that renters can watch after the orientation on the houseboat television.Are There Operator Requirements for Piloting the Houseboat?
All drivers must 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 entire rental period. You do not need a special license to operate a houseboat.What Are the Houseboat Rental Pickup and Drop Off Times?
Pick up and drop-off times may vary, but in GENERAL:
- 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. Renters should be patient when they arrive as starting a houseboat vacation 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?
Yes, pre-boarding is allowed at Lake Powell for an additional fee. Fees vary based on the houseboat selected.How Far in Advance Should We Book a Houseboat?
We recommend booking 3 to 6 months in advance. Often, houseboat rentals are cheaper if they are scheduled for a few months in advance. At the very least, scheduling early will ensure that you can rent the right boat. Popular spots like Lake Powell tend to rent quickly, so you need to plan your vacation as early as possible. Call us 877-331-4421 to check availability.What to Pack for a Houseboat Vacation?
Guests should plan on bringing attire appropriate to the activities they will enjoy during their houseboating vacation. For most, that means a couple of swimsuits, some shorts, loose fitted shirts, and some flip-flops. A large brimmed hat and plenty of sunblock 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, playing cards, and of course your favorite music.
See Our "Planning a Houseboat Vacation Guide" Here
What Equipment is on Board?
Equipment and amenities on board vary by houseboat. We list the specific amenities for each houseboat page. Standard equipment on houseboats 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 fresh water tank
Where and When to Anchor the Houseboat?
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 Many People Will a Houseboat Hold? Do Infants Count Toward Total?
Houseboats accommodate different 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.Do You Have 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 to not have the ingredients you need to make a specific meal. Don’t forget condiments, cooking oil and spices!
Lake Powell has shopping nearby. We recommend bringing dry goods (cereal, pancake mix, spices, etc.) from home if you’re driving and shopping locally for refrigerated items like milk, meats, eggs, etc. Ask us about these convenient services while scheduling your houseboat vacation with one of our experts.
Can You Water Ski Behind a Houseboat?
No, houseboats travel at a maximum of around 10 miles per hour, which isn’t fast enough for water skiing.
Can I Add on a Watercrafts or Water Toys? 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.
Water toys can include water skis wakeboards, ski tubes, kayaks, and paddleboards.
You are welcome to bring your own speedboats, 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 and Will There Be WIFI Internet?
Cell phones will work, although sometimes reception can be spotty or just not available depending on your proximity and line of sight to a cell tower. WIFI is not available to houseboat renters while they are out on the lake. There is WIFI at the marinas.Can You Lock the Doors on a Houseboat for Security?
Yes, you can lock the doors on a houseboat.What Can You Do on a Houseboat?
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 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 the 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 specific rules.Do You Need a Small Boat? Can You Tow a Small Boat with the Houseboat?
Small boat rentals are not required, but we do offer small boat rentals. These make a great recreation option allowing for water sports as well as faster/more economical exploration of the destination.
At Lake Powell, you’ll need to have another responsible adult to pilot the small boat separately from the houseboat, as towing is not allowed.
If Lake Levels Are Low, Will it Impact My Trip?
Lake levels rarely (if ever) affect a renter’s 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?
Not likely, motion or seasickness is very rare on inland bodies of water because if there are any waves, they are very small.How Much Should I Budget for Fuel?
Renters are required to pay for fuel used during their trip. Fuel expenses can vary widely depending on how a renter conducts their trip. We recommend budgeting between $50 and $100 per day.How Do I Refuel the Houseboat?
Most of our houseboats have very large fuel tanks that provide enough fuel for a full weeklong trip. If a renter does need to refuel, they would need to find a marina with a fuel station for refueling. The staffs 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.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?
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 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 so you can ensure a well fitted and comfortable life vest.Are Boats Wheelchair Accessible?
We have specific houseboats that are wheelchair accessible. The 75-foot Platinum Houseboat at Lake Powell even has an elevator lift for top deck access.
Here are links to wheelchair accessible houseboats at Lake Powell, AZ:

Are Life Vests Required?
Life vests are provided 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’m Going?
Every houseboat has a map and navigational instruction is provided as part of the orientation. Some houseboats have GPS, but most do not.
