Lake Powell is unlike any body of water in the world. Canyon walls rising hundreds of feet above blue-green water, hidden coves that stretch for miles, 186 miles of navigable channel, and more than 90 side canyons to explore. If you have ever spent time here, you already know what it does to people. They come once and start planning the next trip before they leave the marina.
A houseboat is the only way to truly experience all of it. And for most people, shared ownership is the only model that makes that experience realistic ā and keeps it enjoyable for years.
Sunrise Peak has been making it work since 1989. Here is what shared houseboat ownership at Lake Powell actually looks like, what it costs, and why buyers who go through the process almost always wonder why they waited so long.
Shared ownership through Sunrise Peak is not a rental. It is not a traditional timeshare. It is structured co-ownership of a specific vessel, with guaranteed weeks built into your share and a management model designed so that your only job is to enjoy the trip.
Step 1: Choose your houseboat and ownership level. Sunrise Peak offers a curated fleet of premium houseboats at Antelope Point Marina on Lake Powell and at Lake Havasu. Each boat is available at different ownership levels, with corresponding guaranteed weeks per season. You pick the vessel and the share size that fits how you want to use it.
Step 2: Enjoy guaranteed weeks every season. Your share comes with guaranteed time on your boat each year ā not availability you have to compete for, not a waitlist, not a request that may or may not get approved. Your weeks are yours, built into the ownership structure from day one.
Step 3: Sunrise Peak handles everything else. All scheduling, maintenance, and trip preparation is managed by the Sunrise Peak team. Engines serviced. Systems checked. Boat ready when you arrive. You show up to the marina and step onto a vessel that is in peak condition. When your trip ends, you step off. Everything else is handled.
Step 4: Upgrade or sell your share anytime. When your needs change, or you are ready to move on entirely, Sunrise Peak’s resale program gives you a clear, supported path. Upgrade to more weeks, move to a different vessel, or sell your share through the Sunrise Peak buyer network. You are never locked in.
The fleet matters, and this is where Sunrise Peak sets a standard that is hard to match anywhere on Lake Powell.
These are not aging vessels held together by deferred maintenance. Sunrise Peak’s houseboats are among the most advanced on the lake ā 72 to 88-foot, multi-level boats sleeping up to 30, built with modern hulls, current propulsion technology, full outdoor kitchens, waterslides, premium audio and entertainment systems, and the kind of interior space and layout that makes a week on the water feel genuinely luxurious.
When you choose a share, you know exactly which boat you are buying into. You can walk it, see the specs, understand the layout, and pick the vessel that fits how you entertain and how many people you typically bring. That specificity matters ā your share is tied to a real boat, not a category or a rotation of whatever is available.
Where your houseboat lives is as important as the houseboat itself, and Antelope Point is the best address on Lake Powell.
Sunrise Peak is the first and original shared ownership provider at Antelope Point Marina ā Lake Powell’s premier marina. That relationship, built over 37 years, translates into real advantages for share owners: priority scheduling, valet service, a full fuel dock, on-site mechanical services, and access to the largest floating restaurant on the lake.
Antelope Point also sits at one of the best launch points for exploring the lake’s most scenic canyon arms. From the marina, you are minutes from open water and the kind of anchorages that make Lake Powell famous.
The share price is only part of the picture. What shared ownership delivers goes well beyond the purchase.
Guaranteed time on a premium vessel. Your weeks are contractually yours every season. No scrambling for availability. No uncertainty about whether the boat is ready.
A fully managed ownership experience. Every aspect of vessel management ā routine maintenance, mechanical service, system upkeep, trip preparation ā is handled by Sunrise Peak. There are no surprise repair bills, no coordinating service providers, no showing up to a boat that was not properly prepared. That management infrastructure is built into what you own.
Access to the Sunrise Peak network. You are joining a community of owners who have been coming to Lake Powell for years, many for decades. That community ā and the relationships with Antelope Point Marina that come with it ā is part of the ownership experience.
A clear path forward. When your circumstances change, you are not on your own trying to sell a vessel into a market you have to navigate without help. Sunrise Peak’s resale program handles the process and connects you with qualified buyers through a network built over 37 years of transactions on Lake Powell.
Shared ownership at this level is designed for people who want premium access to Lake Powell without structuring their lives around managing a boat.
You are the right fit if you want 2 to 6 weeks on the water each season with a group ā family, friends, or both ā and you want those weeks to be seamless. You want to show up to a boat that is ready, spend your time on the water the way you planned, and leave knowing the next trip will be just as smooth. You want flexibility built into the ownership so that as your life changes, your ownership can change with it.
The people who thrive with this model are not passive about Lake Powell. They are the ones who have been coming here for years, who have strong opinions about which canyons to anchor in and which coves to wake up in, and who want a home base on the water that actually feels like theirs ā because it is.
Browsing the current fleet is the best first step. Take a look at the available houseboats, review the specs and ownership levels for each vessel, and get a real sense of what your share would look like in practice.
When you are ready to talk through the details ā pricing, scheduling, what your guaranteed weeks would look like, how the resale program works ā the Sunrise Peak team is available at (801) 336-4169 or in person at Antelope Point Marina.

Shared ownership through Sunrise Peak is how you get there ā on a boat you are proud of, at a marina that takes care of you, with a management structure that makes every trip feel effortless. You own your weeks, you know your boat, and you show up every season to something that is genuinely yours.
Sunrise Peak has been building this for 37 years. The model works. The lake is extraordinary. And there has never been a better time to get on the water.
