I'm considering the rental of a houseboat on the St. Johns River in
February/March (The St Johns River in Florida, not the St John in Maine.
It's a houseboat, not an icebreaker) There seems to be several marinas that
rent these units, in lengths from 38 feet up. For a 44 footer w/2 bedrooms
(sorry, staterooms) it's about $2K/week plus gas and supplies.
I've looked at Holly Bluff Marina and River Adventures websites, and
requested brochures. Does anyone here have experience with these companies
or others? Any suggestions for this trip?

The St John's runs from the Atlantic Ocean at Maypost (E of Jax) +-
200 miles south to near Melborne, FL.

If you're looking for someplace about half way in between those try:

Be advised Feb/Mar will have a few days, each month, with cold temps
(at least the locals think so) combined with strong winds which will
make boating rather unpleasent.

Enjoy your trip
