Small Boat Rentals

Destinations

along the St. Johns River

Along with numerous places to just “get away from it all” and immerse yourself in nature, there are several state parks and restaurants within cruising distance from our marina in DeLand. Take a day trip to local favorites just around the bend or hop aboard one of our houseboats, where you can cruise up to 50 nautical miles to along the St. Johns River. Not comfortable driving? Hanging out dockside is an option too!

  • 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!

  • 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!
