House boat rental, for most of us, is the most viable option for being able to experience the fun and adventure of a house boating vacation at Lake Powell.
With almost 2000 miles of shoreline and 254 square miles of water, 96 named side canyons that bend and twist serpentine-like through scenic canyons of ancient stone, Lake Powell offers some of the best house boating vacations in the world.

There are three marinas on the lake where you can rent houseboats:
• Antelope Point Marina—Located off State Hwy 98 about 6 miles southeast of Page, AZ
• Bullfrog Marina—Located off Hwy 276 about 90 east of Page, AZ
• Wahweap Marina—Located off Hwy 89 about 6 Miles north of Page, AZ
House Boats, Power Boats, Personal Water Craft, as well as other watercraft, can, also, be rented at these marinas.
Reservations are a must and you should call well in advance of your visit; especially if you must havespecific dates.
Below, I have listed the names of the individual businesses, of which I am aware, along with their toll free numbers:
• Antelope Point Resort and Marina---1-800-255-5561
• Lake Powell House Boat Rentals---1-888-454-8825 (USA) 1-801-487-7206 (International)
• Lake Powell Resorts and Marinas---1-888-806-8829
Also, reservations can be made by calling National Park Reservations at 1-866-875-8456 from within the United States. Outside of the USA, call 1-406-862-8190.
A Word of Caution: National Park Reservations charges a 10% fee of the total cost of the reservation. This can be very costly.
However, it is a handy place to call if you are visiting other National Parks and don’t want to call several different places to make reservations. Just be aware of their fee.
By the way, they are a private business and have NO affiliation with the National Park Service.
I have tried to be as thorough as I can, but if you still have some questions or concerns about house boat rental, please check out my page of Frequently Asked Questions.
