Long Term Leasing Houseboat Rentals - can you rent house boats yearly?

by Judy
(Shepherdstown, WV, USA)

Any long-term leasing houseboat rentals or lease available?

Any long-term leasing houseboat rentals or lease available?

We're looking at long term houseboat rentals or leasing, and wonder if you can rent any house boats for long periods?








I wanted to inquire if you knew any places in FL that rented their houseboats long-term (6mo-2yr)?

Many thanks, in advance! Judy Bulman




Reply - Answer
Well Judy, welcome to the houseboat forums, and your question about long term houseboat renting.

I personally always thought that this would be a new market opportunity for houseboat manufacturers.

However as it stands now, I don't know of any long-term houseboat leasing or rental availabilities.

Possibly you're question will peak the curiosity of some of the larger houseboat rental operations out there to consider this as a new business model.

I am sure that you are not alone, as I have previously received mail asking about rentals for 1 or 2 years at a time.

Possibly some of our readers will be able to make some recommendations or referrals on where to start your search?


Lastly, hopefully some of our readers will share and post comments about their long term houseboat rental leasing opportunities or experiences. Feel free to use the "Click here to post comments." link found near the bottom of this page.


Thanks again for sharing, IAN - from www.all-about-houseboats.com

I have a houseboat that I am considering to rent
by: Steven

The houseboat is located downtown Wilmington, NC, 35' long and is fully self-contained. It would be perfect for a single person of a couple that gets along well :-)

Any takers? I can send pics.

Houseboat Rentals - dreaming of a long term boat lease
by: Anonymous

I am also looking for a houseboat for long term lease. I am a retired Coastie with custody of my two children. I am trying to give them as many life experiences as possible before they leave home.

If anyone finds a company, marina or private individual near the Pensacola to Fort Walton Beach, Florida area, I hope they will post or contact all of us who are interested.

Considering long term houseboat leasing
by: jim franko

We are considering long term lease of a houseboat and go about living aboard but would like to try that for a year or so before jumping off the dock and landing on the deck. it would be great to lease a house boat for a while and help us to come to that decision - leap or no leap. Any thought as to where you can lease long term?

long term houseboat rental
by: Anonymous

I would love to find some houseboat rentals for 6 months-1 year or so. I would like to know first-hand what it would be like as an option to land living but would like to live it first. I would think it would be a lucrative adventure for a houseboat owner and open up a new living experience.

Long term houseboat rentals
by: John

I have always been interested in renting a houseboat anywhere on the East coast for a year or two. I hope maybe a private owner or real estate office could respond to this request with some information. I believe you could jump into a very lucrative market!

There must be a market for long-term houseboat rentals?
by: Anonymous

I too, have searched in vain for a long-term houseboat rental! I have vacationed on houseboats in the past and think I would really enjoy living on one for a while.

I live/work (teacher)in Orlando but am originally from New England and my kids are grown so...I am willing to relocate virtually anywhere along the eastern seaboard!

Post a comment if you have had any luck or ideas how to locate such a rental!

Renting houseboat for a year term or longer
by: Deborah

I have also attempted to locate and/or find contacts to rent a houseboat to live in a year or two versus an apartment/condo.

Surely, somewhere here in Tampa Bay Area I could find a boat large enough to live in and rent? Bummer......

Guess only in the movies, huh?!! Too bad.
