No license, no problem! A beginner’s guide to houseboating vacations

“Travelers with no previous experience can legally operate a houseboat for up to 12 people, so long as there is a minimum of two adults onboard, making houseboating ideal for a fun and adventure-filled family adventure or for an exclusive and intimate couple’s cruise. Either way, guests will benefit from the freedom and flexibility that this unique vacation experience offers: picking their own route and itinerary, choosing where to moor, and venturing inland wherever and whenever they please.”

Read on for Cheryl’s beginner’s guide to houseboating, including ten top tips for curious explorers considering an independent river cruise this year.
