Amazing unique stay in St Augustine! The beds were super comfy! The location was so convenient and the boat was well equipped! The waters in the fridge were a lifesaver on check in. Would recommend this stay 100% and plan to come back!!

The boat is of a fairly old vintage, clean and properly represented. Low ceilings and steep steps might pose an issue for guests with mobility restrictions.

Great stay! We go to st aug regularly to visit family. Wanted something near downtown and the Funshine came up. Was a first time exp for my girlfriend and had been yrs since I stayed on a boat. Absolutely loved it! Had the pleasure of meeting our host as well. He was extremely helpful and provided some good insights into the boating life. All around awesome and a much needed change for us .

Such a wonderful and unique experience. I could not recommend staying here more! We caught the sunset and watched the stars as it got dark. There’s so much to do and so much space to relax and reset while enjoying the gorgeous water view. If we could have stayed longer, we definitely would have!!

Great host. When issues arose, Chris our host was there to fix whatever the problem was. Great location, convenient to get to all the hot spots in town. Marina staff were excellent too as well as the boaters who dock there. I dropped my wallet getting out of the car. Like everyone I had all my important documents, ID, credit cards plus a couple hundred dollars. Someone turned it into the marina office and left a note on my car. When I retrieved my wallet everything was there to include the cash. Such honesty is reflective of the fine people at the location. Fun stay celebrating my wife’s birthday.

It was a fun experience for a couple of days. By nature, the bathroom situation is unique and less convenient than a traditional hotel, so I would not choose to stay longer. The boat was nicely equipped, and the bed was comfortable. Thanks for a one of a kind stay!
