Crewed Cruising Catamaran Ready to Sail in Philippine Islands
Alan was very prompt to reply when I inquired about a quote and he was also openly communicative after I booked his catamaran and services. He was right on time to pick us up exactly where he said he would. He is very personable and easy to converse with and he has interesting stories! He’s very experienced, professional and also gives space for his guests to enjoy privacy. The catamaran was clean and perfect. Alan is also a wonderful cook and we loved the food. We definitely recommend booking with Alan!

One of the best activity you can do while staying at El Nido. Alan took us to lonely beaches, prepared lunch and took care of everything. Highly recommended.

Crewed Cruising Catamaran Ready to Sail in Philippine Islands
Alan and Maria were a great team to show us El Nido and the lovely islands surrounding. The bays are prestine and the beaches gorgeous. More importantly, very excluded from crowds and tourists. This gave the experience an dimension of paradise to Robin and myself. We snorkeled, used the dingy every now and then, trew the rope behind the boat to carry us through the ocean and slept on deck in the trampolines. The shooting stars and small satellites were incredible to see them so clear. Thanks again Alan and Maria. Hopefully we see each other again someday and somewhere! Cheers, Robin and Robin

We joined Alan and Maria with our one-year-old baby. They were so accommodating and really made us feel comfortable. Maria (the boat) is beautiful and so expertly piloted by Alan. I wish we could have stayed with them forever. Thanks again. Sam, Cat & Jack

We had an astonishing time sailing with Alan in his spectacular boat. A very caring and friendly captain, he made us feel safe, welcome and at home. His boat, Maria is impressive! It had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable sailing experience. We would definitely sail with him again in a heartbeat!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you sleep in a houseboat?
Yes, you can sleep overnight on the water with a houseboat rental. Houseboats are great options for people who love being on the water - because you can combine your love for boating with your accommodation on a vacation. Houseboat sizes and amenities range drastically, but you can find many modest houseboats with one or two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a kitchen onboard.
Is driving a houseboat hard?
If you can drive a car safely, you can definitely learn how to drive a houseboat. If you are renting a houseboat for the first time, make sure you get an orientation from the owner or rental company before you cruise out from the docks. The main difference is that there are no brakes on a houseboat, so the only way to slow the boat is to release the throttle slowly and always be looking far ahead to avoid any obstacles when navigating. Make sure you bring a valid driver’s license when renting a houseboat.
Which state has the best houseboat rentals?
There are many lakes across the country that offer incredible houseboating opportunities. Some of the best lakes for a houseboat rental include Lake Lanier in Georgia, Lake Vermillion in Minnesota, Lake Powell in Arizona, and Lake Cumberland in Kentucky.
How much are houseboat rentals?
Pricing for houseboat rentals starts around $200/night, but can range anywhere from $200 to over $1000 per night, depending on the location and the size of the vessel. If you are renting a large houseboat to accommodate many people, the cost will be more but it could be cheaper once you split with everyone onboard. Houseboats are a fun way to combine an activity like boating with your accommodation, which is sometimes a cheaper way to experience both instead of booking a vacation rental AND a boat rental. Plus, who doesn’t love to sleep on the water? Browse thousands of houseboat rentals on Getmyboat and book one right on your phone with the mobile app.
