About Us
Luxury Houseboat Shares –
With over 40 years of combined Lake Powell house-boating experience, we instinctively understand how to design boats that supersede all expectations. With quality and user experience as the highest priorities, our boats are designed to make your vacation as seamless and carefree as possible. Our meticulous design process ensures our owners that nothing has been overlooked. At Luxury Houseboat shares, the difference is in the details.
Adonia Yachts –
Adonia has been manufacturing houseboats for over 20 years. They understand the design requirements necessary to build a boat that best fits Lake Powell’s unique climate and geography. Ranging from 75’ x 22’ to 120’ x 24’ foot luxury houseboats, Adonia has mastered the ultimate customization of each boats’ individual layout and design. With a plethora of options available, including reverse layouts, docks, helipads, fire pits, theater rooms, docking systems and more, you can feel confident that your boat will be as comfortable, functional, and luxurious as possible.
How Shared Ownership Works –
When it comes to houseboating at Lake Powell, you can either rent, individually own, or have a shared ownership in a houseboat. Shared, or fractional ownership allows for individuals to share the cost of ownership on a luxury boat that they might not otherwise be able to afford on their own. The cost to rent a houseboat will run between $10,000 and $18,000 per week compared to about $5,000 a week on a shared boat or even less if you use the boat in the off season. When looking at a rental vs. a shared ownership houseboat, there is truly no comparison when it comes to the quality and design.
When you purchase a share in a luxury houseboat, you are buying a membership unit in a Limited Liability Corporation (LLC). Your membership unit represents a percentage of ownership and makes you responsible for the same percentage of costs associated with the houseboat. The benefit is that those costs are shared among the other owners, providing a more affordable alternative to either renting or owning your own houseboat.

Maintenance fee’s on an 80’ to 90’ foot houseboat with a dedicated wet slip at Antelope Point Marina, will average $45,000 for the entire boat. This includes the slip fee, insurance, registration and regular maintenance, as well as some reserves for future needs. This total amount is divided amongst the owners of the boat. Depending on the percentage of ownership, your fee will change accordingly.
Each time you take the boat out on the lake, the boat must be professionally piloted in and out of the slip, cleaned, refueled and dumped after each use. This full service runs about $1800. If you just want to operate out of the slip, this fee is significantly reduced as you will not be utilizing all of these services.
In December, prior to the upcoming season, each owner can reserve off-season use on a first come, first serve basis. On boats larger than 80 feet, the daily rate for off-season use is $200 per day. Boats under 80 feet are $100 per day.
