What is a Launch and Retrieve Program? What does it cost?
With the popularity of houseboats at Lake Powell, and the limited space at the dock/slip marinas, a program has been developed to allow more vacationers to enjoy the house boat experience. The Lake, being so vast and secluded, was limited by the lack of dock/slip space. Just as one would launch and retrieve a powerboat, so goes your houseboat on a giant trailer. Wow, you think? It is truly a great operation. Upon arrival at the dry dock your car can be driven driving along side your house boat. It is then easily loaded with personal belongings, food, and lake toys. After your loading is complete, the boat is taken to the lake and “launched.” If you wish, our Harbor Pilot, at your request will take you “out to sea”. Once clear of all other vessels, obstacles and docks, you are given control of the ship and you are on your way. Upon your Lake Powell houseboat vacations end, it all works in reverse. It is truly a pleasant experience. The cost of this service is $650.00. This cost includes
