DO YOU NEED A FISHING CHARTER? Contact our preferred charter company - Louisiana Bluewater Charter Company at (863)660-2741 or view at www.labluewater.com

Enjoy one of the nicest houseboats in Venice Marina. Located down on 'C' dock at the Venice Marina. It is situated to accommodate boats along the end and side of the houseboat. Our accommodations offer 7 beds in a 3 bedroom / 1 bath configuration. We decided to use 'family friendly' bunk beds with full sized mattresses on the bottom and twins on the tops in Bedroom 1. Bedroom 2 has a full bed. Bedroom 3 is a loft with 2 full beds. The houseboat also has a full sized sleeper sofa. The entire home can sleep 8-12 people

You will enjoy the large, flat screen TV located in the living area equipped with Direct TV and one in Bedroom 2. The living area and large functional kitchen provide an open concept for guest to visit while watching TV, dining and preparing meals in the fully furnished kitchen. Central heat and air are provided to make your stay comfortable.

Enjoy the large ice machine and charcoal grill located on the deck for use by our guests. There is also a convenient fish cleaning station. The houseboat is also equipped with a fish fryer for your day’s catch.

We have 2 houseboats next door to accommodate larger groups.

Great place for a fishing retreat

House was clean and AC worked great. The industrial ice maker outside was amazing for filling the coolers in the mornings before hopping on the boat we tied up right to the back of the house. Would definitely recommend!

Camp was nice well kept up. 1st time staying at Venice Marina arrived at night had trouble finding the Joat which is the name of camp and couldn’t get in touch with host by phone and in description said it had fish fryer at camp and wasn’t there but had plenty of other stuff we could use it was fully stocked with pots. Really should have got 5 star rating but want to be honest.

Great Stay!

Overall, the houseboat was clean, well maintained, and well stocked. There was three rooms. One with queen on bottom bunks, one solo room with a queen, and a large loft with two full beds. The loft and the single room had tv’s and the bunk room did not. The washer and dryer was great. There was good hot water for showers. There was a large ice machine on the front porch/dock. I opted to choose this houseboat because of all the amenities and because the pictures showed the houseboat as having two open sides for 2 boats to dock. Upon arrival, there was only the front open to docking a boat, not 2 sides. We had a friend cancel so this in the end did not pose a problem for us. We really enjoyed our stay and will look to stay again next year. Thank you so much for our great stay!!! A+
