-Ahoy, maties! Welcome aboard the Saratoga Shipwreck. This is a classic seaworthy 1970s, 26-foot, cabin cruiser river yacht, 30 minutes from the Grand Canyon South Rim.
-The non-existent coastline and absence of a beach are made up for by the amazing mountains and nighttime star views from your boat in the evening.
-The Grand Canyon Land Yacht is a unique alternative instead of a ground tent, wood cabin, or RV. Vacation in a weatherproof upcycled boat!
-Bring your own comfort bedding, pillows, and essentials; and prepare for an adventure of a lifetime climbing aboard your private vessel.
-The front cabin is suitable for two people (up to 6ft comfortably), it has a padded king-size odd-shaped bed platform, a large top hatch to open to view the sky, side porthole windows, and 12v lights.
-Relax and enjoy your private 'cruise' through Northern Arizona.
- The Saratoga Shipwreck is dry docked on a secure trailer within a pet and family-friendly, 3-acre fenced-in, dry 'harbor' - equipped with graveled pull-through private parking and amenities.
-Let your imagination run wild! Set Sail!
-Onboard in the galley and head, there is fresh water, an ice cooler (bring your own ice), a chemical toilet, and a small kitchen prep area.
-Grand Canyon Yacht Club members have access to a luxury private off-grid gender-neutral fenced-in bathhouse that has an outdoor Hot/Cold shower, standard compost urine separating sit-down toilet, a stand-up urinal, and a hand sink. We ask that you use the bathhouse for toilet/shower facilities. The RV toilet located in the 'head' of the boat is for emergency purposes.
-Private bathhouse is fully stocked with local biodegradable natural personal products.
-Departing the vessel on the port side in the center of the property is our outfitted stargazing lounge and shade pergola perfect for relaxing on and regaining your land legs.
-You will also have your own fire ring and the wood will be provided for you.

Ahoy...If you want a great stay....Look no further
This rental is such a great idea.
We needed a place to stay for 1 night stopping at Grand Canyon and the rental looked fun.
The experience was one of the best we ever had...
The Host Dan is very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed (he made a trip out to make sure the showers and restrooms were freshened up and say hi)
It is a little hard to describe how to get to boat...So they gave VERY good directions.
It said to bring all your own things... But they provided so many thoughtful things, it was amazing.
There were plenty of lamps and lanterns if you forgot one, there were chips, snacks, breakfast bars in the "galley".
The bed was comfortable and clean.
There was a firepit in good condition with plenty of wood and a "fire starter kit"
you could not find better stargazing at a planetarium
If you are in the area… you owe it to yourself to try and stay here !!
