We loved this boat. So charming, comfortable and clean. And sleeping on it was incredibly peaceful with the gentle rocking of the tides. Maybe not somewhere I’d stay for more than a weekend because it is really more like glamping than it would be staying on a less historic vessel, but if you are a person who appreciates nautical craftsmanship and beautiful old things made and tended with care, you will love it! Unbeatable location with access to all of the best of Sausalito.

What a wonderful adventure to stay on a 100 year old yacht that has all the amenities you would want. The location in Sausalito is perfect and the serenity of staying overnight is a fabulous way to spend your birthday.The video of what to expect for the stay was invaluable.

What a beautiful and romantic stay. We couldn’t believe how wonderful it was. Worth every penny. Heads up, there are a lot of instructions and rules in order to maintain and keep this boat beautiful. We arrived very late at night after a long day of traveling. So a little overwhelming at first! Not bad, just a heads up so you can plan accordingly.Brian was incredible at communicating with me and answering all of my questions. Highlight of the stay? The cruise ride with Nat & Vince. Lovely people and memorable boat ride!

Awesome stay! We especially loved the cruise under the golden gate. It was so spectacular and the crew was very knowledgeable about the area. The boat has so much charm and history and we really like staying somewhere out of the ordinary. It is definitely like glamping but worth it for the sunrises on the bay. One regret is not booking a sauna on the fjord right next door to boat.

Beautifully restored historic boat on the San Francisco Bay. We saw seals and herons, and enjoyed being right on the water. It is adjacent to the floating sauna fjord. Sadly, very popular so tricky to book.This vessel is cared for by a wonderfully attentive host.

Really special place! Comfortable well equipped. Very Important to really read the instructions ALL OF THEM! Double bed instructions were not as complete as they should be ----like where the linens are. History of the boat should be shared ahead of time as well! So interesting. Over all so enjoyable and fun night life with herons and harbor seal hunting for fish. The bay cruise was really nice and the captain was great and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend this special adventure.
