- You asked for it and we created it! ALL of our HRC Member advertising programs feature a special MEMBER CLASSIFIEDS SECTION. This easy-to-use classifieds tool enables our member companies to post their new and used boats and equipment online right on the HRC site.
- HRC offers a special “Houseboat Bargains” section available for your specials, discounts and last minute rentals. This is always available to our member companies. We try to make sure that none of your fleet is sitting at the dock when one of your vessels could be making the dreams come true for some lucky vacationers!
- Our beautiful, fast loading and easy-to-use interface ensures that our members are happy and find the information they are looking for quickly and easily. Custom built with open source tools, our W3 site meets all international standards for browser display and accessibility.

- We have consistently delivered an average of over 20,000 targeted leads per year to our member companies since our inception in 2000.
- Our marine-specific network consists of hundreds of keyword-rich domains that drive traffic into our site. That’s lead generation power no houseboat-specific type of magazine can offer you!
- We offer specific lead production packages that can have targeted leads in your email within 24 hours of joining our family.
- If you are not a member of our programs and have houseboats that are not rented 100% all of the time now and 1 year in advance, you are losing money each day that you operate. Our question is, “How much money can you afford to lose?”
