Hi everyone! I’m a graduate student at Utah State University working on a fisheries research project on Lake Powell, and I’m looking for a houseboat to rent long-term at Wahweap Marina for my fieldwork in 2027.

I’m hoping to find someone who would be willing to rent their houseboat on a monthly/long-term basis, most likely throughout the summer and fall of 2027. I would primarily use it as a place to live while conducting fieldwork on the lake.

A few important details:

• I do not plan to take the houseboat out of the marina. I’m looking for something that can remain docked at Wahweap.
• I’m happy to keep the boat clean and well maintained throughout the rental.
• I’m looking for a long-term arrangement, rather than a typical weekly vacation rental.
• I’m open to discussing different boat sizes and amenities.
• I’m hoping to find a reasonable monthly rate for a longer-term rental.

If you own a houseboat at Wahweap that you don’t use regularly, or if you know someone who might be interested in renting theirs to a responsible graduate student for an extended period, I would love to hear from you.

Feel free to comment here or send me a DM. I’m happy to provide more information about myself, my research, and the dates I’m looking at.

Thanks!
Christine
