Fun place to stay!

Great experience! The boat was nice, Mark was the best - very attentive and accomodating, and was quick to help with any issue we had. It is just as much an adventure as a place to stay, so keep that in mind! The boat location is very peaceful and it's convenient for exploring the Keys. We would stay here again!

Great couple of nights! It’s an experience - how often do yo get to take a dingy boat out across the water to your accommodations. It’s not the Hilton, but a good comfortable private setting. Mark was very accommodating with everything.

He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had a memorable time. Thanks to Mark, our first experience on a houseboat was truly unforgettable, and we're already looking forward to our next visit.

Getaway

My friend and I stayed for three nights on the boat. Mark is very friendly and very accommodating. We enjoyed watching the storms on the boat and kayaking around the bay. The boat is most certainly older and has some issues but overall we enjoyed our stay. Make sure to pack lots of mosquito repellent because you will become dinner out in the bay.

The Marina is a work in progress due the last hurricane. Overall, you can tell a lot has been done.

We spent 4 nights here. Everything we needed was there as promised. The beds were very comfortable, the ac's nice and cold. Loved the back deck where we hung out every night. Met a lot of fun people on the property (the neighbors Bo and Daryl super fun!) . The owner Mark was amazing and dropped by daily to see if we needed anything and was very accommodating. We'll definitely come back next year.

This was a very unique experience and one well worth doing! The host, Mark, was great at communication and setting expectations. I think he said it best when he mentioned that it was basically camping on a boat. I would highly recommend taking the option to rent the dinghy for transportation to and from the boat. This was a fantastic experience and one we will remember for the rest of our lives.

Comfortable, clean, and fun getaway! Our dog loved it, too!

Our host, Mark was amazing and accommodating to all of our needs upon our arrival and throughout the trip. The yacht we stayed on was perfect for us. Had everything we would need there, and very clean and cozy. We enjoyed Mark's charter services- we took a sunset charter to a private island with our dog, and loved it! We got some beautiful pictures of the sunset. The dog got to play on this beach we were taken to, and she had a blast! Our stay in Key Largo was great, getting to explore areas all around us, including the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State park. Beautiful! Will be back!

Good times!

Had a nice time staying a couple of nights. Like the overview states, it's not the Hilton. If you have stayed on boats or camped in campers you will understand what to expect. If you enjoy staying places in that manner you won't have issues with the bath house, parking, etc. If you are high maintenance and expect valet parking and a bell hop this trip is not for you. That said, Mark did offer to help with our bags and picked us up on his golf cart, so maybe just don't be high maintenance 😁 Mark was friendly and very accommodating. If you are planning on chartering a boat I would recommend checking with Mark. Price was reasonable and trip was great! Laid back and safe. Next time I get a chance to be in this part of the world again I will check here before I book somewhere else.

We had a different boat, a little bit bigger, green with an upper deck also with free use of kayak. The description was what it said it would be, basically camping on the water. There were mosquitos but that could not be helped. There was a screen for the sleeping area which kept them out for the most part and there was a screen at the sliding doors to help keep them out of the boat as well. The host was exceptional. We rented a dingy to get back and forth to the marina instead of using the kayak, which the host gave us a reasonable rate. If we needed to reach out to him, he was always there ready and able to assist. We rented a charter boat with the host for one day and that was very exciting and fun! He took us around the area and we stopped off at a couple of nice Tiki bar and grills and then stopped to take a couple of swims. It was a true adventure for us. Thanks Mark !

This was the filthiest place , I have ever seen. Dirty, used silverware in the drawers. Big disgusting stains on couch and bedsheets. The stove had thick crusts of food stuck on it. The fridge had lots of mold in it (I was told it wasn't there for use anyways). There wasn't enough water to clean the dishes. I wasn't expecting a luxury experience, but for the money I can definitely expect a clean place. We cut our 2 night stay short and left after one. After pointing out the conditions to the owner, he did apologize, but was only concerned about a bad review. Sorry Mark, but we work very hard for our money and hope to keep some other people from making the same mistake.

Debated on leaving a review or not...

So, My wife and I booked this boat knowning what camping is all about. We have no issues staying in a rustic setting as we car camp several times a year. First the good, Marc is a very likeable host, communication whether good or bad is his strong point. The bad, we were communicated with the morning of our stay and told to take our time (mind you check in time is at 3:30) we were told the later the better as he had a pilot flying in later to rent a more expensive boat for a longer duration that we were and he tried to explain it off as "seniority" that he had to cater to him and that also the water pump had gone out and the boat didnt have any running water as advertised (i get it stuff happens but fix it instead of concentrating on "the captain") I guess our money is as good as we didn't spend as much and didn't deserve what we had paid for. So after sitting at the meet up location until 5:30pm, Marc finally called and said start loading up our stuff on the smaller boat as "the captain" was finally close. We get to our rental boat well after sunset, which is one of the main reasons we chose this, so the first night was shot. When we got up the next morning we started noticing black mold in the cuddy cabin, a lot of filth and junk everywhere on the boat. I do believe Marc is a great guy but needs to take some time and clean, we didn't expect anything other than a camping experience as we had done before but we would not have done this if we had known this.

boat stay

We had a nice time. It was fun to stay on the boat for two nights and sit on the deck and watch the sunset. It was also a good location for exploring the area. Mark is a good host. The boat could use some updates but Marks post says -- it's not the Hilton. The marinas public bathhouse and laundry was in the process of being remodeled or something as it wasn't always available.

The boat is nice for the price and Mark is a good host. We took one of Mark's boat tours which was the highlight of the 2 day stay. If you like to kayak and take his boat tour you will be satisfied. Mark will do what you want like, go swimming on the sand bars, fishing or a sunset cruise around. If you want to just hang on the boat and have a great view and surrounding amenities then, not so much right now. There is construction all around you.

This was not as advertised. It’s filthy, the air conditioners barley put out cold air because they were so full of dirt and thick build up, they were duct taped sloppily into the ceiling so there were hundreds of mosquitoes that got in and bit us all night, there is no power in the boat the electric is powered by extension cords from the trailer lot that he plugged lamps into. The canoe has no seats, actually it did but they were broken plastic pieces in the floor of it. The kayak was half sunk in the front of the boat unusable, when the sun went down the roaches came out, the bites on our bodies were from bed bugs, the place smelled like a sewer, I’m sure because the black water tanks weren’t emptied on a regular basis. The restrooms for public use were in a shipping container behind a huge metal trash container. After you walk through the piles of rocks, rotting lumber, a back hoe parked in the lot, you needed a code for the ONLY restroom for everyone to use which is not cooled because the ac is broken, and the only shower is full of the regular full time residents soaps, and body puffs hanging in it. The light to the bathroom was out. The amenities were plastic bags of old condiments, plastic ware from others before us, a cooler mark put ice in, a gallon of crystals water, and used shampoo in the shower. The head or toilet smelled like a sewer , worse than a portapotty and thus making the entire 10ft living space stink like death, moldy as well. We had two towels.

Camping on a boat

We were expecting an older boat at a marina that would provide a fun stay at a reasonable price. What we got was basically camping on a boat. As we drove to the marina, the owner lived nearby so we coordinated meeting at the boat dock. What we saw was a partially collapsed dock that left the boat a little too far from stable footing, like a 2-foot step over open water. A little unnerving. Dock was partially collapsed, so extra sections were dropped on top so it was almost level. Not safe, especially at night, since nobody wanted to use the on-board head toilet and used marina restroom as "least-worst" option. Boat itself was an older model with no engine, power and water from shore. Well the first night, dish sink only had cold water, no hot water, and the next night it had no water at all. Not sure why, but we just used bottled water. Owner did provide us free use of a cooler with lots of ice, and a case of water which we appreciated. The 'condiments' were packets of ketchup, mayo, mustard and soy sauce from unknown restaurants, of unknown age. We didn't use any. Bedding and towels were comfortable and clean, but the overall cleanliness was not up to my other half's standards. The sink in the bathroom worked ok except no hot water. The head was what you'd get on an older boat, and nobody even tried to use it. Shower on board was not used. Sleeping is in two areas, back and front. Kids took the back, we took the front. The outside 'hatchway' lid had a few gaps, so mosquitoes were getting in to main seating area. For kids, I rigged up a big towel in front of their bed opening to keep mosquitoes out (kids couldn't sleep until then). Up front the bed area had a door, and tons of movies. Small gaps in the top hatch let in a couple mosquitoes. After an overnight rainstorm, the tied-up kayaks had wedged between the boat and the dock, pushing the rear of the boat away from the dock another foot, so it was about 3 feet to get to the dock. I had a lot of trouble trying to get a box off of the boat, since I didn't want to drop it in the lagoon and had to jump while carrying. Dock was bad. Owner had offered a fishing pole, but the tiny tackle box was full of rusty water so unusable. Free use of Kayaks. Overall value: 5/10 since it was holiday season so everything is more expensive. But I expected something more than camping on a boat for the price we paid. We were close to abandoning after the first night but we stuck it out. Fix the dock.
