Just what I needed to reintegrate after a week of device-free personal growth. I can tell the description has been updated to reflect concerns from previous reviews, so I felt like I was well-informed of what to expect. Several seal sightings from the back deck were an added bonus!

Great view

We are in our 80s so getting suitcases, etc down the long dock and into the boat was a challenge. Once on the boat we loved the view and seals, pelicans, terns, etc. Had a great time.

We had a magical stay in our floating love nest on the Bay. Our friends were staying at the inn above the tides and we were so happy to find this spot nearby to stay. It’s a proper boat but has all the amenities of a house. I especially loved the bathtub. We enjoyed having our coffee on the deck outside while watching the seals and aquatic birds.

Weekend on the water

Great place to celebrate our anniversary. Walking distance to great restaurants, right on a wonderful bike trail, sunsets over Mt Tam, great low-key neighbors, and a great nights sleep in a comfortable bed.Hope we’ll be back soon.

The view was beautiful, the boat was neat. A nice adventure. Privacy was a little lacking and parking (overnight) was tricky and expensive.

Peaceful and Serene

This was a surprise trip for my partner and it did not disappoint! We had such an amazing time and such a unique experience. We spent each evening on the back patio watching the sunset and the abundant wildlife. Walking distance to everything! The bed was comfy and we had everything we needed. Will definitely be coming back.

Relaxing and quiet

Unique experience to stay on a boat. Has everything you need like tiny house. Stairs down to bathroom may be tough for those with mobility issues. Neighborhood is nice with lots of dining options and easy access to SanFran. Overnight parking took some googling to figure out, but you can park about a block away. Also on site parking for max 3 hr, but worked well for us with other agenda items. Should also note easy drive to Muir woods National monument if that is on your list. Overall, great time and meet our expectations. Worth a try if staying in the area.

Life in the Water

What a wonderful place in such a nice spot of the marina! We made a light dinner two nights in a row and ate on the back porch right above the water. Walking distance to coffee, night life, restaurants, and pleasant parks. Sleeping was a breeze with a very gentle rocking of the very stable boat.
