Forever Resorts house­boat rentals

Not every­one wants to go home for the hol­i­days – some pre­fer to get away and out into nature. Travelers look­ing to cel­e­brate Turkey Day out of town and on a lake will give thanks for the Forever Resorts “Bird and a Boat” house­boat­ing special.

The 2009 “Bird and a Boat” pack­age, valid on house­boat­ing adven­tures depart­ing on Wednesday Nov. 25 from var­i­ous Forever Resorts mari­nas, includes a free turkey and a 40 per­cent dis­count on house­boat­ing vaca­tions – which means house­boaters get to rel­ish five days on the lake for the cost of three.

“This is an excep­tional value as well as a won­der­ful oppor­tu­nity for fam­i­lies, friends and neigh­bors to come together for Thanksgiving to enjoy each other’s com­pany and the beauty and ameni­ties of the great out­doors,” said John Schoppmann, exec­u­tive vice pres­i­dent of Forever Resorts.

All Forever Resorts house­boats have fully equipped kitchens and out­door bar­be­cues, allow­ing adven­tur­ers the abil­ity to cus­tomize their Thanksgiving meal to suit their tra­di­tions and tastes. There’s plenty of room on board to pre­pare, store and enjoy the fresh fix­ings of a Turkey Day feast (as well as the left­overs). Following their hol­i­day meal, house­boaters have the option of watch­ing movies or foot­ball on the satel­lite TV – or head­ing out of doors to enjoy the lake or sur­round­ing landscape.

The “Bird and a Boat” pack­age is avail­able at the fol­low­ing Forever Resorts marinas:

• Antelope Point Marina at Lake Powell – Arizona

Boats in the Forever Houseboat fleet mea­sure from 50 feet to 75 feet in length, and 14 feet to 18 feet in width — click here to take a tour. Most boats sleep 10 with a max­i­mum capac­ity of 12. Houseboats are pow­ered by dual engines and the floor plans are sim­i­lar on each boat with the main liv­ing area, kitchen and din­ing all together. Typical setups include two to six state­rooms and one to two full baths. All house­boats have lux­ury ameni­ties such as a fully appointed kitchen, water­slide and bar­be­cue grills. Operational train­ing and a per­sonal ori­en­ta­tion by skilled marina staff teaches renters how to pilot, dock and beach a house­boat, as well as the boat­ing safety rules of the lake.
