PAGE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lake Powell Resorts & Marinas announces new fall dates for the “Introduction to Houseboating” weekend program, a one-of-a-kind learning experience that combines hands-on instruction with a licensed captain and insider tips for exploring Lake Powell.

“There is no other program in the country that offers hours of hands-on practice and training with a skilled captain, along with a vacation experience at Lake Powell, at this affordable price”

The “Intro to Houseboating” program is available the weekends of Sept. 24 at Bullfrog Marina in Utah, and Oct. 1 and 8 at Wahweap Marina, on the Arizona-Utah border. The “Introduction to Houseboating” weekend package*, priced at $299, includes a two-night stay at Lake Powell Resort or Defiance House Lodge and daily breakfast for two. Participants can also explore the lake on their own by adding a full-day powerboat rental for more than 60 percent off peak season rates.

The “Intro to Houseboating” program allows guests to check-in Friday evening and enjoy dinner at Lake Powell Resort’s newly-redecorated Rainbow Room or Defiance House Lodge’s Anasazi Restaurant. On Saturday morning, the six-hour course features firsthand training with a licensed captain and deckhand and tips on how to maneuver, anchor and dock the houseboat.

A boxed lunch is provided and guests can enjoy downtime to relax and sunbathe on the deck of the houseboat or take photos of the stunning scenery. Participants can also book a future houseboating trip at the best available rates for their preferred dates, as long as they book within four weeks of completing the program.
