The refrigerators on board the houseboats do not run as cold as your home refrigerator. When temperatures reach 90° or higher, we recommend using ice chests for products that are perishable, such as meat and dairy products. We suggest you use the refrigerator for other food products like fruit and vegetables.

For customers with CPAP machines please consult with your doctor, however there are a few options. Bring a deep cycle 12 volt battery and appropriate size 110 volt inverter or plug the boat into dockside shore power. You may also be able to get an additional battery pack from you doctor or your machine may already have one. The generator cannot run at night while all people are sleeping due to the danger of carbon monoxide poisoning.
