Details

This is not a for profit experience or commercial venture. I am arranging this with my brother-in-law who owns a small houseboat at Lake Powell. This is a group of friends doing an adventure together. We are charging $499 pp to cover boat, fuel, transportation, and other costs.

The plan is to have 8 of us on the boat. We will sleep under the stars on mats and sleeping bags we bring ourselves. There may be an option to sleep on land. We will be going to a part of the lake that very few ever see. We expect water levels to be low. We will make modifications as needed due to circumstances.

IMPORTANT - MUST READ

1 - Read the entire description and accept and understand what it says
2 - Put yourself on wait list here
3 - Go to the following website and fill-out the form*

* If you need help, text 801-671-1605 If you have already filled out the form for a previous event, login or text that you want to be added.

Also Very Important:
1. This is for adults 21+
2. This is not a drinking cruise. Those who choose may bring drinks to drink responsibly and always in control. Allowing one to get drunk or out of control in any way will not be tolerated.
3. This boat is too small to accommodate pets, service animals, wheelchairs, or those with mobility restrictions.

Price does not include meals, drinks, nor transportation to (or from) Wahweap by land.

It is important that we all understand that this is not a new houseboat. We are going in good faith. It is possible that issues could arise due to mechanical issues, weather, or other out of our control issues that could effect the trip. If changes need to be made, we will make it a fun trip because we will be a group of fun friends that will make the best of any situation. If we for any reason do not make it to reflection canyon, we will get where we get and any funds not spent in getting us home safe will be refunded. However, the amount would be determined by how much gas we didn't use on the trip.

My brother-in-law Brian says/asks the following:

The houseboat should be ready to go with it coming out of service before the trip.

My hope is the guests would agree to be kind, respectful, helpful and grateful and understanding of possible changes or limitations and
understand that my decisions about the equipment, safety, routing, consequences for bad behavior etc. would be weighed with
your consultation, but I need final and ultimate authority.

Back to my words (Bill):
If there is bad behavior, my vote is we throw you off the boat (walk the plank). Maybe if you are good we will throw you off the boat too. I hope my sense of humor (or lack there of) is more appreciated than annoys.
