About this property

Cajun Queen TugBoat in Port Fourchon, LA

Stay Aboard the Cajun Queen

Step aboard a fully renovated 1961 tugboat turned live-aboard getaway, where working waterfront charm meets comfortable coastal lodging. The Cajun Queen isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience. Come live the “tuglife.” with us!

Located in the heart of Port Fourchon, Louisiana, you’ll be surrounded by the sights, sounds, and energy of one of the Gulf Coast’s most active marine hubs, with Grand Isle just a short 15-minute drive away.

Sleeping Arrangements

The Cajun Queen offers two unique stateroom-style bedrooms designed for comfort and character:

The Captain’s Quarters
Featuring a queen bed and a convenient half bath, giving you a touch of privacy and classic nautical charm.

The Grotto Bedroom
A cozy, tucked-away space below the hull with two double beds, designed in true seafaring fashion for an authentic “below deck” feel.

For additional guests, the living room sofa pulls out into a queen sleeper, allowing flexible accommodations for families or groups.

Bathrooms
Full bathroom with shower
Private half bath in the Captain’s Quarters

Kitchen & Dining
The fully equipped galley kitchen has everything you need for your stay:
Stove top
Microwave
Sink
Dishwasher
Refrigerator & freezer

Adjacent to the kitchen is a comfortable living and dining area, featuring a cozy breakfast nook perfect for shared, family-style meals after a day on the water.

Outdoor Living & Deck Space

The Cajun Queen shines when you step outside:

-Spacious top party deck with lounge chairs
-Outdoor dining tables for sunset meals on the water
-Side tables that double as coolers to keep drinks cold in the Louisiana heat
-On-deck ice machine for guest use—perfect for filling coolers
-Front and back swim decks with seating to enjoy marina views and Gulf breezes
-Outdoor grill for cooking fresh seafood or your catch of the day

Next to a free boat launch at the marina, you can also moor your boat next to the Cajun Queen. There is free parking in the grass gravel area directly next to our boat slip. There is enough space for 1-2 vehicles and/or your truck and boat trailer.

Comfort on the Water
No matter the season, you’ll stay comfortable aboard:
Strong, reliable air conditioning throughout the interior
Ocean breezes flowing across the decks
A cool, quiet retreat after a day in the sun


Adventure Awaits
Located just minutes from Grand Isle, Louisiana’s only inhabited barrier island, you’ll have easy access to beaches, sand, and drive-thru daiquiris along the famous Cajun Riviera.

We also operate a full-service fishing charter business, so your adventure doesn’t have to stop at lodging. Whether you’re interested in adding on inshore fishing, Offshore gulf trips, or a full guided experience: We can help put you on the fish!

Beach towels, chairs, and umbrellas are provided so you can explore the coast with ease.

The Experience

The Cajun Queen blends working waterfront energy with relaxed coastal living. Watch supply vessels come and go, feel the Gulf breeze roll across the deck, and unwind in a one-of-a-kind floating home designed for adventure, comfort, and unforgettable memories.

Come experience the Cajun Queen—where you don’t just stay by the water… you live on it.

We can't wait to see you there, cher!

The boat was very clean and well appointed. The top deck was really a cool place to hang out under the lights in the evening. We were able to dock our own boat next to the boat so it was very convenient. Cool experience!
