THE EMERALD COVE PROMISE
Honest Pricing. Unmatched Luxury. Zero Surprises.
Most marinas advertise a low base rate, then add tax, propane and pump-out fees at checkout. Our houseboat rates are all-inclusive — the price you see is the price you pay, fuel allotment included. Small boat and jet ski rentals leave the dock with a full tank and are simply refueled on return, so you pay only for the fuel you use.
No Hidden Fees
Houseboat rates include sales tax, propane and pump-outs. No surprises at checkout.
Houseboat Fuel Allotment
Every houseboat trip includes 8 gallons of fuel a night — 56 gallons on a 7-night trip, on us. Small boats: refuel on return, pay only for what you use.
High-End Fleet
Starlink WiFi on Ruby, Sapphire and Opal, silent lithium power and residential appliances, backed by top-notch service.
Included in every houseboat rental
- Sales Tax
- 8 Gal. of Fuel a Night
- Unlimited Propane
- Septic Pump-Outs
Small boats & jet skis: fuel is not included — boats go out full and are refueled at the marina on return.
