So you’re planning a houseboat vacation and your crew is striking • Towels & bedding • Basic cooking, grilling and out somewhere new onboard a fabulous houseboat rental! Pulling eating utensils together a houseboat trip is an absolute blast, but if this is a new • Coffee maker & toaster • Life jackets type of vacation for you, here are a few helpful tips. • Garbage bags • Marine grade toilet paper For a full list and more suggestions of what to bring, please visit www.kydmarina.com Triple-check the list of what’s already supplied on KDM's houseboats so you don’t waste space bringing things you don’t need and—even worse—forget things that aren’t provided. As an extra, bringing your own pillows can sometimes help you feel more comfortable and sleep better at night. Renting in a group? Try coordinating among yourselves so you only bring so many sets of sun lotion, aloe vera, hair dryers, etc. You really don’t need fifty extras of supplies like this onboard, and it’ll save that much more space for everyone. If you’re bringing along little kids, help keep them feel comfortable by not forgetting that special blankie or toy. It’ll add a nice homey touch to an exciting but strange place and can help the kiddos relax a little better, especially at nighttime. Be real about your wardrobe. Will you really be wearing more than swim shorts and a t-shirt for most of your vacation? As a general rule of thumb, trim that suitcase down. If your group is into music, don’t forget to check out whether your rental has a docking station and what devices would be compatible. Choose your travel crew wisely. Remember, you’ll be brushing elbows with these people for a good couple of days, and there aren’t too many places to retreat to when you’re sharing a full houseboat! Bring lots of favorite board games, electronic games, books, and movies for those rare down time moments. There’s so much to do on the lake, it seems like you’ll never have down time. But after dark or when the afternoon sun may be too hot in the middle of the day, it’s nice to have backup activities to keep yourselves entertained and enjoy your vacation just a little bit more. - Story courtesy of Houseboat Magazine 15 58’lakeview Our 58’ Lakeview Yacht sleeps 10 and is the perfect size for a family gathering, weekend fishing excursion with the guys, or just a week-long romantic getaway with that special someone.
