Houseboat Heaven!
My kids, husband and I loved staying here. The boat was very clean and comfortable, plenty of space for the 4 of us. The location can’t be beat. Sitting on the top deck in the evening was lovely. The Badger Island Marina staff are beyond friendly and wonderful. We loved every single thing about our stay.

The boat was fully equipped with everything that is needed for a weekend event. Loved the area for our first time house boat experience. We had a problem with the electricity and heat which required us to reach out to the emergency text number that was provided. No one got back to us so the night and morning was a bit chilly. The overall experience, we will return!!

Excellent Experience
We could not have been more pleased with our stay at the Reef. The houseboat was amazing; it was clean, spacious and well furnished. The time spent on the top deck was splendid. The location is perfect being close to both Kittery and Portsmouth. We are already talking about our next stay in the future.

Perfect location.
Clean, updated and had everything one needs for a week away. The location was in easy walking distance to Pourtsmouth and the marina was lovely. I was not excited that my husband booked this boat but I was pleasantly surprised. I expected it would be a step above camping but it was better than many hotels and had plenty of hot water for a nice shower. The views of the passing boats and downtown Portsmouth were just awesome. Hope to be back again one day.

A special spot
The Reef houseboat is a really special experience. Perfectly situated with stunning views of Portsmouth and the Piscataqua river. Spotlessly, clean, very comfortably appointed (good bed linens!), and enhanced by the gentle rocking of the tidal current and the lovely deck above. The only snag was that the living room was described as having a pull out sofa, which it does not. Two beds were very comfortable, and an excellent shower given that it’s a boat! We look forward to a chance to stay again.
