Absolutely fantastic experience, despite high winds and heat. Jacob and Ashley were delightful. The instruction portion was amazing, and I would have loved the opportunity to take more instruction. 😁 I learned so much and we had a blast. You don’t have to lock through if you’re not up for it, plenty of beaches were available, but snag one early if you find one you like. Highly recommend.
Steering one of these bad boys on the Mississippi isn’t for the faint of heart, but gosh was it worth it! We had an incredible time on our houseboat! Fun n the Sun’s entire operation is super smooth, they give great instruction, and the houseboat was clean and cozy! We were also able to tow behind our fishing boat to use for the weekend also!
Great experience, the scenery on the Mississippi River is great. Eric, Jacob and the rest of the family that own and run this business were top notch. DEFINITELY would highly recommend this business for your next vacation on a houseboat
The family owed business went up and beyond. It was a GREAT experience. Thanks Jacob and family
Unique vacation experience.
If you ever get a chance to rent a houseboat on the Mississippi River, do it!!! We rented a 4 bedroom houseboat with 3 other couples and spent a few days on the Mississippi River. Schmitty (not sure how to spell his name) was our trainer and showed us how to drive the boat and beach up, and a few tricks. He also went thru the lock and dam procedures. My husband has some boat experience already but we were happy for the lesson. Schmitty is a very nice guy. Ashley gave us our orientation and brought us a coffee pot cuz the one on board was having an issue. Every time I saw her, she had a friendly smile on her face and was happy to help and make recommendations. When we came back, Jake met us at the pick up point and we had fun getting back to the dock. He had some funny fishing stories. I believe Nikki was the lady who checked us out and we settled our bill with her. She did a wonderful job explaining everything and helped me figure out my deposit. Everyone I encountered was very nice and extremely helpful. I'd definitely recommend Fun N the Sun and I'd like to do this again. Would be a great girls trip!
Just got back from a 4 day trip, what an amazing experience! They did a great job explaining and training, especially for those without any boating experience. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience, would highly recommend!
Amazing bucket list item for us. Now turned into hopefully a yearly outing! Dave was a great teacher. Trip was a blast!
