OUR 5 STAR REVIEWS

Unbelievable week on the St. Johns River and Silver Glen Springs in a 55' houseboat! The staff at Holly Bluff are amazing from reservation to our checkin........and all the questions in between. We spent 3 days in the springs and another 2 days anchored along the river......with our last night at the marina. The boat was perfect and our group of 12 could not have had a better time.

Thank you Holly Bluff!

I just got back from my second trip on the St. John's renting a houseboat from Holly Bluff and it was a fantastic time. As before, they could not be easier to deal with. The reservation was easy and they had answers for all of my questions. The boat was in good shape and served our group well. There is so much to explore on the river and the boat gets the job done and is more spacious than expected.

Our group will be back!

We rented the 44-foot houseboat for a 4-day trip and loved everything about it! Prices are affordable; support and communication were top notch (before, during & after trip); and customer service was exemplary. The boat was clean and in good mechanical order. Cruising grounds are beautiful with a range of options for all abilities, and many that are kid friendly! Our family had an amazing time! Already planning our next trip with a Holly Bluff boat!

We are coming up on our 19th straight year renting at Holly Bluff, and some years (like this one) have been more than one visit. One week led to two weeks led to three weeks at a time. We are addicted! The boats, the staff (who know ALL the ins and outs of the river), the scenery, the cruising....just bliss with the animals and all the nature all around.
