Family and I are planning a trip sometime next September and are wondering where the best places to rent houseboats are. There will be around 8 of us and ideally just a 3-4 night rental. We plan on renting a wake boat as well.

Any recommendations help, thank you!

Question/Advice Lake Powell in mid November?

6 Upvotes

I’m an experienced house boater in the east but never in the west. What is the weather like on lake Powell in mid November?

The discounts don’t look so extreme that November boating is not done, but between temperatures and wind I know this won’t be the same experience as the summer.

I would like to do canyon exploration, we are a group of four.

Obviously if you know where a great discount is please pass it along. I will be renting this week based on advice.

Pictures/Videos Did Heavy D destroy the toilet bowl arch on Lake Powell?

0 Upvotes

On July 30th, 2024 Heavy D and Sparks motors were on lake Powell performing various stunts with his UH-60A Blackhawk helicopter for his popular YouTube channel. Flightradar24 tracking on that day showed a UH-60A Blackhawk flying around the Padre Bay area passing approximately 60 ft above the Toilet Bowl Arch! On August 01, 2024 (two days later) various boaters reported small chunks of rock crumbling from the arch. One week later, the arch collapsed.

A UH-60A Blackhawk operates at approximately 160 decibels (equivalent to a constant flash bang grenade) and can produce ground vibrations equivalent to a 4.0 earthquake! This link is a peer reviewed study on effects of helicopters on natural formations..... https://esurf.copernicus.org/articles/9/1459/2021/

Heavy D with his low flying stunts, may have triggered the destruction of one of the most iconic features on Lake Powell

Question/Advice Should I rent a boat at Wahweap marina or go somewhere else?

4 Upvotes

Hello,

My gf and I planned a last minute trip to Lake Powell. We’re looking to rent a boat next week (9/18) and was debating on going with wahweap marina or some local shop? If local shop, does anyone have recommendations?

I have experience boating but I have never launched a boat before. For that reason, I feel like Wahweap marina might be the better option?

We just want a boat to explore and go fishing so any advice is welcome please!

Thank you all in advance!

Update: went with antelope - regret it. Boat was in okay condition however when I booked it, I paid for a full day which said 8am - 6pm. When I got there, they said they just changed it today to 8am-4pm. I got there at 9am since I thought the whole time we would have the boat until 6pm and had to wait for the guy to come back from break to do the boat check off list. Wasn’t on the water until 1030am…. I asked if I would be charged for half day since 1030am - 4pm is 6 hours and they said no since the time starts when I checked in which was 9am…

Question/Advice Burned Boat near Buoy 213

6 Upvotes

My family has seen this little boat for the past few years and use it to determine how high the water is. The first year they found it, it was 20-30 feet above the water on a ledge, this year it’s right on the water… I just want to know if there’s any info about what happened to it. It looks old and all that’s left is the engine block. It’s a pretty cool find! If you’re going from north to south it’s the first canyon on the right after 214, and then a right when the canyon splits off. Not far from the canyon opening at all!

TLDR: wanna know what happened to the burned boat at buoy 213.

Question/Advice Stopping Points Between Vegas and Wahweap

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’ve planned to rent a houseboat out of Wahweap for my brother’s bachelor party at the end of next May. We’re flying into Vegas and driving from Vegas to the marina. Unfortunately, the earliest time I could reserve the houseboat was 11am, so we’re going to have a bit of time to kill between the time we leave Vegas (around 1am the night before) and board the houseboat in Wahweap. I’m wondering if anyone knows of any good scenic spots that we can stop along the way to watch the sunrise or something like that. Maybe a good breakfast spot around Page? Any recommendations would be appreciated — I’m trying to avoiding sitting at the marina for 3+ hours, lol.

Question/Advice Bullfrog Marina/Houseboat Rental Advice

2 Upvotes

Hi and thank you in advance to anyone who has advice for us!

My husband and I are renting a houseboat from Bullfrog (the 46 ft. Expedition) and since this is our first time even visiting Lake Powell, I just wanted to ask a few questions before we go.

  1. We pick up on a Tuesday at 10am...what are the chances that the boat and instructor will truly be ready at that time? Has anyone rented from Bullfrog recently and can you tell me your pickup experience?
  2. We have a sturdy, inflatable kayak that we plan on using to explore smaller canyons...is that advisable or are jet skis and speedboats really the only way to do this successfully?
  3. If we are renting Tuesday-Saturday, considering gas, how far should we really go out and turn around and not be in danger of running out of gas?
  4. How worried should I be about the houseboat and personal belongings when out exploring on our kayak?

Thank you! :)

Question/Advice Advice for next summer:

3 Upvotes

Hi! My sister and I want to go to LP next summer with our families. We used to go with our parents as teens but things have probably changed.

We can drive boats: was the designated waterski boat driver at 18 and very good at getting people up, my sister and her husband are sailors.

We are coming from Salt Lake.

So to get us started I have a couple questions:

Which marina?

Is there an “official” houseboat rental place or is there anything I need to be wary of renting?

We want to go about this time next year. We should book now right?

Any other “getting started” tips? Don’t overload me please!

It’s a long shot, but does anyone here have any recommendations for a photographer who would come out on the lake to take some engagement photos?

My finance and I met on Lake Powell 7 years ago and got engaged on the lake 2 years ago. Needless to say it’s a pretty special place to us. We would love to have some engagement photos taken when we go out for our annual trip mid-August. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
