Enjoy a Houseboat Vacation on the Scenic Upper Mississippi River

1953 - 2007 Our 54st Year, The Second Oldest Established Houseboat Rental Agency in the United States.

Boatels is in McGregor, Iowa, across the Mississippi River from Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, in the heart of the Upper Mississippi River bluff country. In this area one finds a combination of scenery and history unsurpassed anywhere in the Midwest.

The Mississippi River's beauty gives a visitor the same breathtaking panorama beheld by Father Marquette and Louis Jolliet, the first white men to discover the "Father of Waters" three centuries ago; or, Mark Twain, whose visions were filled with the romance of the River.

The rich, historical lore on the exploits and daring of the men who made the Northwest; an ever-changing panorama of colorful bluffs and rock formations carved by wind and water; wooded, green islands; and water confluences continue to fascinate and challenge the exploring boater or photographer, the casual visitor or learned traveler.

The spectacular beauty of the Mississippi River valley remains as it was from the beginning of time.
