You’re the captain and the crew!

Just outside Orlando, tucked along the St. Johns River in DeLand, Florida, Holly Bluff is a full-service, family-owned marina. Our slice of riverfront paradise puts you close to some of Central Florida’s most stunning natural gems like Hontoon Island, Blue Spring State Park, and more!

Take the helm and set out aboard your own houseboat rental in Central Florida! With a 50-mile cruising range on the St. Johns River, you can explore Florida freshwater springs, including the iconic Silver Glen. Not ready to drive a houseboat yet? Our friendly staff can help you navigate to your destination, but staying at the docks is always an option too!

Whether you're planning a multi-day houseboat getaway or just a laid-back afternoon on the river, we’ve got a fleet ready for you — from houseboats and pontoons to fishing boats, kayaks, and paddle boards.

  • View of a river at sunset from a boat, with trees along the bank and a partially visible boat on the left, under a canopy with a sunset sky and clouds.

    Great holiday getaway! Beautiful Christmas eve sunset and cold Christmas morning on the St John's river.

  • Houseboat moored near a sandy shoreline, with a smaller boat floating nearby on calm water, surrounded by green trees under a partly cloudy sky.

    We had rented the 38' Houseboat for a week on the Catfish Bend, first night We slept like logs! The staff is very professional and courteous and helpful. What a great time and experience. Very clean boats and well taking care of

  • A houseboat anchored near a lush, green shoreline on a clear day with blue skies and calm water.

    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!

  • A portable grill with foil-wrapped food, a glass of red wine on a small table, set outdoors near a lake with trees and a partly cloudy sky.

    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!

  • A large inflatable unicorn pool float with rainbow-colored accents on a body of water surrounded by many people in boats and paddleboards amid green trees on a cloudy day.

    Boats are great, staff is extra friendly and service oriented, they go beyond their responsibilities to help you with anything.
