From charming streets of Savannah to lesser known ones towns like La Grangethere is always a worthwhile adventure on the horizon.

With a blend of state history, natural splendor, and pure Southern charm, it’s a great option for visitors any time of year.

From spotting river otters to shellfishing to carefree sailing around the world, there are plenty of options for carefree downtime.

The best houseboat rentals in Georgia

Savannah Rae

Augusta, Georgia

Savannah Rae is docked right next to the 5^thousand Street Marina in Augusta, Georgia that gives you the best of both worlds. Not only will you be able to enjoy the beautiful views of the Savannah River (including wildlife), but you’ll also be able to explore the city on foot, exploring Augusta’s quaintest streets.

That being said, the Savannah Rae is a spacious and modern boat, which means you won’t be tempted to wander off the docks often.

General

Augusta, Georgia

If the Savannah Rae is too casual for you, order this iconic catamaran-turned-houseboat instead. This grand and impressive houseboat is also located in 5^thousand Marina Street in downtown Augusta.

After a two-year refit, The General is now open for charter, and with two wrap-around exterior decks, there’s plenty of room to relax and enjoy the Savannah River. Meanwhile, the interior received several new updates.

Diamond Drifter

Augusta, Georgia

Augusta’s latest offering on this list is the Diamond Drifter, a vintage houseboat with a beautiful and balanced setup. The interior includes custom designs such as bunk beds and reading nooks reminiscent of a 1967 boat.

Meanwhile, the boat’s decks are spacious and furnished, allowing you to enjoy the Savannah River. As a bonus, it’s docked next to The General, allowing you to enjoy the view of the former catamaran.

SS Minnow

Bainbridge, Georgia

This floating oasis is located on the Flint River in Bainbridge, but you’ll be off the beaten path as the Bainbridge Marina is further from town. That makes this two-bedroom houseboat a dream for those who want to completely disappear on a lazy river.

With plenty of windows framing the interior, you’ll feel completely immersed in nature every time you raise the blinds.

PondTune

Hazlehurst, Georgia

Part glamping, part houseboat adventure, PondTune lets you stay on a private pond that’s teeming with fish, including perch. In this tiny houseboat you can sleep and live on the water where you can enjoy beautiful sunsets and slow mornings.

Although PondTune is tiny, the owners have created other living spaces, from the fire pit to the pavilion. Just keep in mind that you will be going to a separate bathhouse to use the toilet.

(As an added bonus, PondTune looks like doggie heaven. I’m a big fan of the black and white pup with the great haircut.)

Plattship

Oakwood, Georgia

This choice on Lake Lanier puts you right on the water—with the option of cruising right into the sunset. The Plattship is a private houseboat located on a private dock that allows you to take full advantage of the lake.

If you want to stay on the dock, you can take your party to the ground near the campfire. Or if you want to spend the day on the water, you can stock up on the upper deck bar before you depart.

With four bedrooms, you’ll have plenty of space to relax. Just keep in mind that tours must be booked and paid for as separate tours. Standard booking includes only established experience.
