A suite in river- the best House boat rentals
from:There is nothing to beat a vacation in a house-boat. The rates for house boat rentals are of course not even a fraction of what you would have to pay for a cruise. In fact you may hire a house-boat with bare necessities or go for an experience befitting a millionaire. They are called floating condos- so the facilities that you get may vary just like they vary from hotel to hotel and from suit to room to dormitory.
How much a house boat rentals would cost of course depends on many things. First thing would be the size. Most of these house-boats are in the sizes from 38 feet to 62 feet. They are meant to accommodate anything from a couple to a biggish family of twelve. The number of cabins, or sleeping quarters as they are called, varies from one to four. Thus people go in for house boat rentals for any purpose from a honey-moon (first or that second one on the 20th anniversary), to the family vacation. Many house boats will allow pets, while some will for an extra charge.
Most house boats have basic facilities like a television set, kitchenette and a bathroom. But with slightly higher more expensive house boat rentals you can live that week of luxury in the lap of nature. They come equipped with queen size beds, CD/DVD players, sophisticated music systems, luxury baths, microwave, barbeque, full-size refrigerators, cooling-heating, washing machines, dishwashers and water slides.
How house boat rentals cost obviously depends firstly on the size of the boat-when we have jumbo size triple story house boats, the cost is bound to be high.
The cost of house boat rentals ranges from $1,375 per week for a 38’ house boat to anywhere from $2,350 to $4,750 for larger boats.
The cost of house boat rentals also depends on location. A house boat in a private resort is going to cost you more. It also depends on scenic beauty, beaches etc.
There are other things one has to take into account. For example, the payment for house boat rental does not include the cost of fuel. It also does not include fees for fishing license, as required by most States. They are all extra.
The house boat rental may also cost more or less depending upon the season. For example, in upper Mississippi, ‘Season’ is May 1 through October 31. While in Florida, discounts are offered between December through February. In California, the house boat rental for Summer is the costliest, while in Fall it is the lowest.
Senior citizen discounts in House boat rentals are also on offer from some companies.
You will also find that rentals’ cost is higher on weekends.
It is always better to carefully plan a vacation after comparing the rentals available for various types of boats, facilities offered.
