Recommend any good Houseboat Timeshares on Lake Powell?

Can anyone recommend some good houseboat timeshares. Shared houseboat ownership sounds appealing, however we want to do some research before we purchase.

We are considering buying a houseboat time share from a company on Lake Powell, known as Sunrise Peak Houseboats. Does anybody have any experience with them? If so, would you recommend them?

Thanks for any help.

Houseboat Timeshares - Sunrise Peaks
by: Steven

We know of Fred and Chris From Sunrise Peak Houseboats. Great guys to deal with and are committed to what they do not like many "part timer" guys out there.

Saw the comment about Sumerset.. Very tragic but true about the bankrupy of Sumerset. I believe SRP is now aligned themselves with a newer manufacturer from Phoenix named BRAVADA Yachts.

Bravada is delivering incredible boats to Powell. I have seen them and they are the best out there with awesome style and design and the highest quality construction.

If you get the chance check the ones at Antelope Point. If the deal you are looking at is one of these boats with Sunrise Peak, I think you will be happy.. Good Luck!

Houseboat Timeshares - Sunrise Peak - Rainmaker
by: Tom

Best decision you can make. We have been doing it for 15 years and it's our families favorite vacation. Timeshares on a houseboat are the best value by far compared to owning 100% or renting.

We have two weeks the second half of August on Rainmaker, one of Sunrise Peaks houseboats. We are thinking of selling the second week for little more than the cost of a week's rental ($15,000). Our kid's school schedule interferes with that week.

Houseboat Warranty - beware when buying in to houseboat
by: Anonymous

I have had experience with Sunrise Peak and was reasonably happy with them until our most recent purchase 3 years ago. We've bought from them several times, each time upgrading or changing weeks.

Unfortunately, the houseboat manufacturer Sumerset Houseboat who builds the houseboats that Sunrise Peak sells, went bankrupt and out of business. What that means is no warranty on any of those boats within the last 3-5 years.

And Sunrise will not tell you that when you buy into one of their used boats. Beware.... ask who the manufacturer of the boat is that you plan to buy and look at the warranty.

Wanted - Houseboat Timeshare or Partnership
by: Anonymous

I have been houseboating at Lake Powell for 20+ years and was a partner in a great houseboat over the past 5 years. Unfortunately, the partnership recently disolved so now I'm looking for a new opportunity to partner up with ONLY a FEW PARTNERS.

If anyone knows of an opportunity, please find my Houseboat Partnership ad on the houseboat classifieds here.

Thanks Robert.

Lake Powell Houseboat Timeshare
by: Anonymous

I have a Lake Powell timeshare on the Fantasia houseboat. I have been going to Lake Powell for 20 years on this boat and I love it. Just recently a week went up for sale on this houseboat, Memorial Day Weekend.

It is a great time to go, only crowded for the weekend and then the rest of the week is quiet and peaceful. The water is great and it's not too hot!

It is so much cheaper than renting a houseboat every year. If you own a week, you pay a one time fee and then just an annual maintenance fee to maintain the houseboat.
Happy houseboat hunting!

Lake Powell Houseboat Timeshare "On The Prowell"
by: Anonymous

We don't have any experience with Sunrise Peak Timeshares, but we have been owners of our own private houseboat timeshare for over 10 years now. We recently had a new boat built in 2008, called "On The Prowell" and it is a beauty! 69'x18' Stardust.

I have been coming to Lake Powell for 35 years from when I was baby. I know the lake like the back of my hand. Now that I have my own family I wanted to give them the experiences I had of the Lake. But renting was just soo expensive.

If you commit to a few years of Powell, then it is worth the investment because it winds up being the cheapest way to do it. And I have never gotten sick of it and I've been coming consistently for 35 years.

It's the 1st week in August which is the BEST time to go. The water is warm, the crowds are none, and it's in the 90's. We rarely share a cove with anyone, that's how dead the lake is that week.

The boat is immaculate and all the share owners are great. It's an easy, easy timeshare, inexpensive and annual dues are minimal because it's such a new boat.

Thanks! Joanne

We have a houseboat timeshare with Sunrise
by: Bill

We have a houseboat timeshare through Sunrise Peak and love it! We have been on a 2004 boat called San Juan Sunrise for the past 3 years.

Sunrise Peak was great to deal with, and we really like the staff and service at Antelope Point marina where our house boat is stored and maintained.

Our week is for sale though if you are still looking. We have week 35 (Labor Day weekend). Unfortunately we need to switch weeks to accommodate school schedules and are looking for a July week on this boat or another one.

You can look at Anasazi Sunset (http://www.sunrisepeak.com/boatPages/viewboat.php?boatid=7&wknm=22). It's the sister houseboat to ours and has the same layout, features, etc.
