When checking in for a Houseboat Trip, our spacious office will be able to accommodate four parties at one time in the office not to exceed more than 3 people per group. Each check in station will be a distance of 6 feet or greater from each other. Every station will have a “Plexi” shield in between the Guest and the Front Desk Associate. All other guests must remain outside until a station becomes available. After every transaction, the station will be wiped down with sanitation or disinfection wipe before allowing the next guest to approach the workstation.
