Florida Keys House Boat Rentals

Daily Rental: There are hundreds of marinas across the country that offer recreational boat rentals by the hour or by the day. A larger size marina will typically offer a variety of boats including small, aluminum, outboard-powered fishing boats, ski boats and stern-drive runabouts, pontoon boats or deck boats and also houseboats. Most of these are relatively easy to operate, however state regulations regarding powerboat operator licensing and certification may apply.



Some people won't buy a boat that is 12 foot long unless it has at least 500 top quality screws in it. Does this cost a bit more? Yes it does. It's also a lot safer too, and you'll have less repair issues down the road.

3:02pm: Wonder no more. The shouts of "Saip-e! Saip-e!" build and recede as we pass under and leave the bridge behind. Animated waves are exchanged until we are too far away to see them.

What houseboat design do you have in mind? Designs you may want to consider are pontoon, full hull, floating home, catamaran or barge style boatttrader. Different designs have its own sets of uses and drawbacks. So the main purpose of your houseboat will determine which design you are going to use.

After the first round of tubing had been completed it was time to conquer the boathouse. So our three youngest children made their way to the roof. As I watched the kids approach the open rail I was not overly concerned. Rachel (7) is very cautious by nature and would not even consider jumping, while Brianne (12) and Jimmy (9) are both good swimmers and had jumped off the boathouse last summer. Besides that, all three kids had ski vests on and would probably not go more that a few inches under the water if they did jump.

Literally the whole time we were there he was dealing with one issue and problem after another. To watch this friend of mine and what he went through on that trip was very interesting to me. He seemed like he was stressed the whole time dealing with all the problems and issues related to his stuff. Honestly, he couldn't have had any fun!
