At Packers Bay Marina we offer our guests superb service, quality and unsurpassed comfort.  Our cruises, however, offer our customers the most important commodity of all, Memories. The memories of your stay at Packers Bay will last a lifetime

Whether it's a quality family vacation or a getaway for two, a Packers Bay Houseboat can make your dreams come true.  Picture your family around a campfire, moored in one of Shasta Lake's many secluded coves. 

We are sure you will be one of the many who already know:

"It doesn't get any better than this!"

Have breakfast and coffee on the deck of one of our exceptional houseboats while enjoying the spectacular sights of The 3 Shasta's, Shasta Dam, Mt. Shasta, and Shasta Lake itself.  Begin the day teaching your children to swim or ski on the smoothest lake water anywhere.  Professional ski lessons are available for every level of experience.

It is no wonder that Shasta Lake has been called "...The houseboat capital of the west."  With over 370 miles of shoreline, 30,000 surface acres of crystal clean water reaching 75-80 degrees in the summer months, there is something for everyone, young or old, to enjoy about Shasta Lake.

Try your luck at catching 17 varieties of fish including Blue Gill, Bass, Trout, Salmon and Sturgeon, either from the patio of your Packers Bay Houseboat, or from a rental craft available at practically any location around the lake. We offer special Low Season Rates when the fishing is also at its best! Shasta Lake Fishing Guides are available upon request and arrangements should be requested when making your reservation. All guides operate independently on Shasta Lake and are NOT affiliated with Packers Bay Marina. Recommendations are available or visit our links for more details.

See the wonders of Shasta Caverns, seen for the first time by a white explorer by James A. Richardson, a federal fisheries employee. His claim of discovery is still clearly legible on the wall where he wrote it that day - November 3, 1878 with carbide from his miner's lamp. Explore the shoreline for fossils, learn about the copper mining era and the Wintu Indians that once inhabited the area.

There are hundreds of hiking trails and secluded spots you won't believe, but if you tire of all this relaxation, fine dining and entertainment are available at several locations near and around the lake.

All of us at Packers Bay invite you and your family to join us and see everything listed above with our sincerest wishes for some of life's fondest and most fun-filled memories. We're sure that once you've stayed with us, you'll be planning your next trip before you leave the deck for the last time.
