We once chartered one of their boats for a week in the south of France. The boat was well clean, ran well, and was well equipped/maintained. I'd recommend them based on our experience. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

Www.leboat.com We rented this barge on Lake Powell for a few days. http://gfretwell.com/ftp/Lake%20powell%20wade.jpg It had twin 60 EFI Mercs on it that were just about enough to make it go. It was pretty nice tho although I think they were planning on a bigger crew. This thing sleeps about 11. Since my wife is pretty much a passenger, it was a handful to dock. |

Lake Powell is a spectacular place to go boating however. We rented a 20 something I/O runabout for an afternoon once and really enjoyed it. Have thought of renting a large houseboat there and taking the daughters families. |

Bill, it’d be cheaper that way. Yeah. High price for rental but when your done with it you turn the keys back to them and that’s it. Cheaper than owing it by far

We spent 3 nights on the boat, beached in different coves on the lake. They had a fairly well equipped galley and most of the comforts of home. |
