42' Houseboat
42' Houseboat
Experience the tranquility of water living on the 42' houseboat. This floating accommodation comfortably sleeps 4 adults + 2 small children, offering two private staterooms with a Queen bed and a Full bed, as well as a sleeper sofa for two children. It's more than just a place to rest your head - it's a floating home, complete with a fully equipped kitchen featuring a propane stove, french press for coffee, and an 8.5 cubic feet fridge with a small freezer.
Despite its compact size, the houseboat is equipped with one full bathroom. We provide marine toilet paper, but remember to pack other bathroom amenities. Linens, blankets, pillows, and bath towels are provided for your convenience. For cleanliness, the houseboat is non-smoking and we provide dish soap and hand soap.
Please note that the roof is not accessible due to Coast Guard regulations. But don't worry, the natural beauty surrounding you on the water is more than enough to keep your senses captivated.
The 42' houseboat is powered by a Yamaha 115HP outboard engine, with a maximum speed of 6 mph. Two fuel tanks are provided, allowing for a maximum distance of approximately 30 miles. Navigate with ease using the helm's Chartplotter and enjoy peace of mind with a 70-gallon water tank, typically enough for 2 people on a 3 day trip.
Drive the houseboat yourself or remain dockside!
