  A great option for boaters who are looking for a different kind of vacation rental. The photos accurately reflect this 1983 44 ft Trawler. The owner and the local contacts, Jim and Karen, were very helpful and accommodating. The Coconut Grove location is outstanding! You are within walking distance to great restaurants, Fresh Market, Cocowalk, plus so much more and an easy 10 minute drive to Miami. The back Sundeck on Cloud Nine is the place to be!

  We had a short but wonderful stay on "Cloud 9". The boat and marina was a scenic and peaceful environment. Coconut Grove is a charming little town on the outskirts of Miami and the boat was within walking distance to lovely shops and restaurants. The boat itself was clean and well appointed, the aft deck was so nice to enjoy a glass of wine and watch the sunset. The master statement was quite roomy with a king size bed and private bath. The second stateroom in the front of the boat has a "v"-berth with two single beds- these are best suited for children or rather short adults. The owner was quite helpful and the agent who is in Coconut Grove was lovely. If I return to Miami, I would definitely opt for a second stay on Cloud 9!

  Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, girls getaway, sightseeing.

  Owner response: Susan, Really glad you enjoyed the boat. Looking forward to your next stay with us. Coconut Grove is one of our favorite places too. Karen had nothing but good things to say about you too.

  Our stay on Cloud Nine literally was a dream. Tom was great to work with and Karen and Captain Bill were fantastic. They all tended to our every need and made us feel like family rather than renters. The boat was very clean and well equipped. We just started a new scenic Photography Business and all we had to do was sit out on the deck to get some great shots of the amazing views. If we are in the Miami area again, we would not hesitate to stay on Cloud Nine again!

  Our family stayed at the boat over Spring break and had a great time. The accommodations are great. The location is fantastic. Very close to shops and restaurants in Coconut Grove. Easy walking distance. The owner and the management were fantastic. We arrived late because of a long delay in our flight and the manager came to meet us in the middle of the night to let us on the boat and brief us on everything we needed to know. There was wine and breakfast on board when we arrived. The small personal touches made all the difference for us. We really enjoyed the back deck and the dinghy! So much fun to sit out in the morning drinking coffee and in the evening sipping wine and tool around in the dinghy around the marina. We would definitely do it again! Thanks for everything.

  Owner response: We are glad you liked the boat. We want to provide a place to stay as if you were family. I am sorry I was unable to meet you but I know Karen made you feel welcome

  Cloud 9 is a wonderful boat, and floating on Biscayne Bay is a dream. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Thanks Karin and Tom! Best, Erik, Nancy and Matthew

  We had never been to Miami before and it was truly a wonderful experience. Staying on a boat instead of a motel was different and certainly more fun!! The sunsets were incredible and watching other boats coming into the harbor was very entertaing. Having never been to this area before, we decided to charter the boat and went around Biscane Bay and spent the night in Key Largo at Gilbert's Marina. The atmosphere was great, ate on the beach, went to a magic show and toured the Key's.. Great fun, can't wait to discover more of Florida next year.

  Recommended for: Adventure seekers, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, girls getaway, sightseeing.

  Owner response: Sharon & Joe, We are glad you had a good time on the boat and are looking forward to having you visit Cloud Nine again. Gilbert's is a great overnight trip, isn't it.

  We had a fabulous week on the boat. We loved having our coffee in the morning on the deck or dinner we grilled right there. There was a great breeze off of the water and it was very peaceful and secure. The kitchen had everything we needed; stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker & refrigerator/freezer. The king size bed was very confortable, the bathroom was small, but there are two. The lounge was also very confortable with air conditioning and cable TV. Coconut Grove is great location for a quiet relaxing time with lots of places to eat in town if you don't want to cook in. We chose to stay in most of the time since it was such a great setting. There is a wonderful market within a short walk to pick up all your food supplies. We took advantage of the public transportation which we used the entire week to go to Miami Beach, Key Biscayne and Ft. Lauderdale.

  Owner response: Jim & Eileen, Thanks so much for the kind review. It was great meeting you. Thanks for pointing out the great bus, and rail service Miami has to offer. We hope to see you next year, or sooner!! Have a great summer in CA.

  Our vacation on Cloud 9 was a marvelous experience! The accommodations were neat and clean, with a very efficient galley. We felt comfortable having guests for dinner in the dining area of the salon, or on the aft deck where we could also have breakfast, and later, watch the sunset. We enjoyed having cocktails on the upper fly bridge with expansive views and cool breezes. The Master state room is spacious and comfortable with all the amenities of a hotel room. ie: king size bed, adequate dressers, and closets. The location is ideal. We found the area delightful. The town, within walking distance, has an exceptional variety in shopping, and many very good restaurants to choose from. There are also desirable waterfront restaurants within walking distance. I would definitely recommend this unique way of vacationing to friends. We will do it again!

  Owner response: Bonnie and John, It was a pleasure having you "charter" the boat. Glad you had a great time and hope to see you next year. The sunsets off the sundeck are spectacular, aren't they! Tell your friends. Thanks again!

  Coconut Grove is such a great place to visit but to have this and the beautiful Biscayne Bay at you back door or should I say swim platform was wonderful . The boat is very nicely appointed with all the amenities you expect ashore with the added spectacular sunsets enjoyed from the covered sundeck . For a very reasonable amount I was able to arrange a wonderful cruise out into the bay . A definite must do !!!

  Owner response: Geoff, Tthanks for the glowing report. It was a pleasure serving you. Glad you enjoyed the cruise around Biscayne Bay. We enjoy taking people around and showing them the sights. Please come back soon.
