HOUSEBOATING 101

If you’re new to houseboating and everything that goes into planning a trip, then welcome to Houseboating 101. We’ll provide you with information to help you safely operate your houseboat as well as other tips to get the most out of your trip on the lake.

What is a houseboat exactly? Our houseboats are boats that provide all of the comforts of home while you enjoy a getaway on the lake. Our modern houseboats are designed to be fuel efficient, have minimal impact on the environment, and offer comforts that are perfect for hosting a large group on your vacation. Most Forever Houseboats are designed and built in our company-owned factory and each one is tailored to the waterways on which they serve.

Houseboat rentals provide the unique opportunity to travel with a larger group with less hassle and amazing views to wake up to. Many of our houseboats support groups of up to 12 people, while in motion, with comfortable staterooms, a salon, kitchen, and top deck amenities to make your lake adventures one of a kind. Explore the topics in our Houseboating 101 section for more information to plan your trip and learn safety guidelines, as well as information on our different houseboat models.
