A Houseboat Makes For A Wonderful Family Vacation
Thinking of taking the family on a vacation this summer
? Taking a family vacation is a wonderful opportunity to bond, make memories and learn to work and be together in new surroundings. If you like boating, you might consider a vacation on a houseboat. This allows you to be near the water and sleep in the boat so your vacation can last more than one day. It's also a great way for all ages to be together.Renting vs. Buying
If you do want to take a vacation on a houseboat the first step you need to take is securing a boat. You can either rent or buy a houseboat. If you've never been on a houseboat before you may want to rent one for your first trip to make sure it's right for you before you invest in one.
There are many rental companies located on or near popular lakes where you can easily secure a houseboat. When calling to inquire about boat rentals be sure to ask about fees involved. If you want to vacation during peak times you will need to reserve your boat well in advance. Not all houseboats are alike and if you don't reserve one early your choices will be limited to a select few.
On the other hand, if you plan on making multiple trips on the houseboat then you may want to buy one. You may see a boat for sale in Kentucky on the web or by just driving through a lake town.
Features to consider
When you do rent, or buy, a houseboat you will need to decide which features are important to you. Is a dishwasher a must? How about a washer and dryer? Do you need a full kitchen or just a refrigerator to store the food you've already prepared?
Other features may be necessary depending on those who will be staying on the boat. If you have small children the boat will need adequate safety features to protect them. Some even come with slides that go off of the boat. Also, if you have a larger group do you have adequate room for everyone to sleep? Can you fit all of your family and gear on the boat and still be under the weight limit for the boat?
There is nothing better than having everyone come together on a house boat. Bring your favorite snack food to eat and don't forget meat to barbeque, unless of course you like to fish. You can actually "catch" dinner each night right from the comfort of your boat. Kids will love to swim, while parents can catch up on a good book and enjoy the sunshine. If bad weather arrives all you have to do is take shelter inside your boat and play cards or enjoy each other's company. Being that close to nature can't happen in any other way. Enjoy the beauty of the water. Explore new land or "park" in a cove where you can find solitude.
A vacation on a house boat is fun, easy, and will make life time memories for everyone. So the next time you see a boat for sale in Kentucky sign stop and get ready for an amazing trip.
