  • A houseboat named 'Holly Bluff Marina' docked near a sandy shore with two chairs, and a smaller motorboat anchored nearby on a calm river, surrounded by green trees and a cloudy sky.

    We had rented the 38' Houseboat for a week on the Catfish Bend, first night We slept like logs! The staff is very professional and courteous and helpful. What a great time and experience. Very clean boats and well taking care of

  • A houseboat docked by a lush green shoreline on a sunny day with clear blue water.

    Rented the "Song of the South" houseboat for a week and cannot wait to come back to Holly Bluff next year for a week! Staff is helpful and friendly. We received a thorough walk-thru of the houseboat before leaving the dock and felt very comfortable. The houseboat was clean and everything was in working order. Maps and handbook were accurate and helpful. The river is beautiful and alive with wildlife. Blue Springs and Silver Glens are a true treasure and treat to experience. Thank you to Deborah, Trent and Jason for the great customer service!

  • A small grill with foil-wrapped food and a glass of red wine on a black surface near a lakeshore with trees, water, and a partly cloudy sky in the background.

    We, and a few family and friends, rented 2 houseboats for 3 nights. The team at Holly Bluff Marina did a good job getting us oriented and on our way. This vacation was definitely one for the memory books! If you are looking for an experience where you can immerse yourself in nature, but have the amenities of glamping - this is worth it!

  • Colorful inflatable unicorn float with rainbow accents floating on a lake with many people in small boats and a lush green forest in the background.

    Boats are great, staff is extra friendly and service oriented, they go beyond their responsibilities to help you with anything.

  • Sunset over a river viewed from a boat with trees lining the riverbank and boats docked along the side.

    Great holiday getaway! Beautiful Christmas eve sunset and cold Christmas morning on the St John's river.
