Houseboat Rentals & Waterslide Fun at Lime Saddle Marina in Paradise, CA

Lime Saddle Marina sits at 3428 Pentz Rd, Paradise, CA 95969tttt, offering houseboat and small-craft access to a calm inland lake in northern California. Fishing Kayaks is a bookable item at the marina that funnels visitors into slow, sunlit days on the water: rent a California houseboat, slide into the lake, snorkel, waterski, or explore shoreline trails. The experience pairs simple boat handling with ample leisure—great for families, small groups, or anyone who wants a break from crowded reservoirs. The houseboats themselves are the scene-stealers: broad decks for sunbathing, laddered swim platforms, and a built-in waterslide that drops into placid water. Onshore the terrain shifts to rolling, chaparral- and oak-dotted slopes where easy lakeside trails lead to quiet coves. Wildlife is unobtrusive but present: look for waterfowl along the shallows and raptors riding thermal updrafts in the afternoon. The water here is calm enough for beginner swimmers and tow-sports, but the marina enforces rules—no pulling watersports and no pets—so expect a relaxed, family-first environment. Practical details matter: rentals are offered in 2, 4, or 8 hour blocks, and at least one adult 18+ must be on the reservation. Pricing listed includes taxes, fees, and insurance coverage, and the marina’s friendly staff briefs renters on basic boat handling and safety before you shove off. Check the meeting point address exactly: 3428 Pentz Rd, Paradise, CA 95969tttt. Why book through this operator? Lime Saddle Marina trades big-lake churn for an uncrowded, easygoing pace. The mix of swim platforms, slide, and straightforward boat controls makes it an ideal intro to overnight-free houseboating—no captain required, just sensible boating. For visitors based in Paradise or passing through nearby towns, a half- or full-day on a houseboat delivers both water-play and low-effort exploration of shorelines most people never see from land. Timing and trip mix are flexible: spend a few hours snorkeling and sunbathing, or use the 8-hour option to slow-crawl between coves and picnic onshore. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a cooler for local snacks, and a lightweight dry bag for phones. Expect clear lines of sight from the helm but pack a printed copy of the marina rules and your driver’s ID. With calm water, easy handling, and that signature waterslide, this bookable experience is a straightforward, high-fun way to own a day on the lake without a heavy learning curve. Note the rental rules: No Pets Allowed and No Pulling Watersports Allowed; these policies preserve shoreline safety and keep wakes low for swimmers and paddlecraft. If you want to fish, pack tackle and a personal flotation device; local anglers favor shallow bays near submerged timber. Rental staff can point out fishing spots and answer questions about water depth and wind patterns before departure and regulations.
