WHAT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER:
• CLASSIC: Our boat is classic, which is a polite way to say that it’s a little old. It’s clean and well maintained, but does have some age and outdoor related wear.
• SMALL SPACE: This studio, 1 bathroom vessel measures 446 square feet. It’s perfect for 2 guests, but can sleep up to 3 guests in a pinch (though it may feel snug at full capacity).
• BOAT BATHROOM: Boats have different bathrooms and are best for #1's so we built a marina bathroom facility exclusively for our Airbnb guests equipped with traditional showers and toilets

Q: Location?
A: English Landing less than 1-mile to the heart of the historic district. A five minute Uber away!
The boat is located in a private marina where our boat is slipped. This accommodation is for people looking for peace and tranquility over the river in the St. Augustine historic district.

Q: How big is the space?
A: Taller sailors may need to duck but at 6'3" you can still stand tall. Photos may not be accurate to size. For more spacious vessels please visit our bigger listings available.

Q: What is a V-Berth bed?
A: A V-berth bed is usually located at the bow (front) of the boat and has a V-shape so the bed tapers to the bow of the vessel.

Q: What is a Quarter berth bed?
A: A Quarter berth is a single bunk tucked under the cockpit (end where the captain wheel is) of the boat.

Q: How can I see all of your places for rent?
A: Click on our Airbnb profile (the round photo) & scroll all the way to the bottom below the aggregated reviews (on Mobile) or look to the left (on Desktop). You’ll see all of our listings

Q: 1 Night Reservations?

A: Yes! You can instant book or send us an inquiry!

Q: Is it comfortable?
A: VERY! Our boats are designed with live-aboard / stay-aboard in mind with all the creature comforts of home. Fully stocked kitchenettes, premium furnishings, updated HVAC, TV, Keurig coffee makers… etc.

Q: Wifi?
A: The Marina is equipped with a WiFi network. Codes will be provided shortly prior to check-in

Q: Any restaurants close by?
A: TONS! Some of St. Augustine’s best are within a mile of the marina.

There is also a gorgeous waterside food truck park in The English Landing Marina. Features the area's most loved food trucks. Open 11-8 daily. Enjoy dining at our umbrella-covered picnic tables spaced ten feet apart. Handicap accessible and pet friendly.

Q: How to book:
A: If you don’t have any questions after reading over the FAQ below then simply instant book. If you send an inquiry we’ll respond promptly, if not immediately.

Q: Why is the price so different for my dates?
A: Airbnb automatically sets our prices based on demand & seasonality. If you don’t search with exact dates Airbnb shows the lowest price throughout the season. Prices range from $99 per night for weekday day-of bookings in January all the way to $499 per night for weekends during peak season summer and everywhere in-between.

Q: Bathroom… explain!
A: The boat has a full sized marine toilet that is easy to use as long as you follow our simple instructions. The bathroom on the boat can be used for number 1's. Otherwise there can be odors from the tank. There is a bathroom facility for everything else!

Q: Heat? Air Conditioning?
A: This vessel is equipped with BOTH ample marine Heat & Air Conditioning. No matter the time of year you can be assured that you will be staying in a climate controlled & comfortable environment.

Q: Can we take the boats out & drive them?
A: We have our own captain to charter the vessels. We do not have bare bone charters. Please message us about our private cruises.

Q: Can we check-in early?
A: Early check-in is available as early as 2pm for an additional fee of $20. Early check-in is subject to availability

Q: Can I checkout late?
A: We will do our best. Most days there’s someone checking in the same day there’s a checkout but we try & go above and beyond if this is requested. Subject to availability and charges may apply.

Q: What to expect that's different than a hotel?
A: It's a boat, it is a unique FUN experience. There may be noises and smells that you'd expect from a boat. Pumps, motors, ocean water, etc. Every boat is broken the day it hits the water, especially salt water. We take great care of our fleet but we expect guests to tell us if anything isn’t working properly & we will PROMPTLY respond & will try to repair it in a timely manner.

Q: Waves?
A:. There is still a small amount of wave action and you'll feel a slight rock from time-to-time. If there's a bad storm or the wave action gets to a point that your stay is no longer enjoyable, we will do our best (no guarantees) to work out alternative accommodations for you. Your comfort is our top priority. 99% of the time the marina is almost totally flat and calm. If there is a tropical storm or hurricane warning issued in our county we offer full credits toward another stay on any of our vessels to accommodate the situation

Q: Do you allow pets?
A: You bet! We ask that dogs not be puppies, don’t scratch at doors, and don’t bark incessantly while you’re away. The boats are close together & a non-stop barking dog isn’t appreciated. We DEEP clean the boats after pets stay aboard due to future guests’ possible allergies so a $50 pet fee per pet is applied for those who travel with pets with a maximum of two.

Q: Can we leave our pets unattended in the boat?
A: No. But in case you have to, it should only be for a really short period of time( 30 minutes) and you should leave at least the bathroom hatch open. Pets might be uncomfortable or react to unexpected situations while inside the boat and during the summertime when temperatures are higher and if the power goes out and AC is off it might trigger some discomfort too.

Q: Can we hold events or parties?
A: No. This is a place to relax. We ask that there be no events or parties on the boats so the other guests can enjoy their stay. Quiet time after 10pm.

Q: Is the marina safe?
A: VERY. We have 24/7 surveillance. The parking lot & dock is well lit & the marina is right off US-1 which is one of the main roads in St. Augustine. All boats lock from inside & you can padlock the door when you leave if you wish to lock up your belongings. We’re here daily looking over the fleet.

Q: Handicap accessible?
A: No. You'll need to get on the boat which requires a 1-2' step and there are steps on the boat. The deck stairs are steep and you'll need to be sure footed.

Q: Parking?
A: Yes, you can park your car. Since it’s a small private marina the walk to the parking lot from the boat is only roughly yards away.

Q: What if there is a hurricane advisory?
A: If there are hurricane advisories issued in the local area we are happy to move the reservations to a later date or issue a full credit toward another reservation with us. This credit can also be applied to our cruises and is transferable to other vessels.

Q: Do you have a grill?
A: Yes, you can use it for free.

We’re very disappointed when we got there because the boat looked nothing like I did in the pictures that advertised it. They had nasty dirty cushions outside for you to sit on the inside was not that clean the coffee maker look like it hadn’t been washed in a very, very long time so we didn’t even use it and it smelled like a porta potty The entire time we stayed. I would not recommend this place to anybody. They need to do a little TLC on that boat and not have false advertisement.

A very unique exexperience!

Had an amazing time! Watching the sunset from the back of the boat and waking the sunrise. The boat is old and you need to be agile to get on and off. It’s a great test to see if you can live in a small space like a tiny home, an RV or even boat life. The marina with the food trucks was a blast. Food, music and friendly people.The only downside was the marina toilet was not flushing correctly but the shower was usable and the boat toilet was a little tricky.

Fun place to stay. Definitely too small for 3 people. Outside deck is a lot smaller than pictures depict, but comfortable. Inside was well kept and clean, but we noticed a lot of the dishes were put away dirty and the cabin curtains were not secure. Be mindful of small spaces if booking, including an elevated doorway to jump into the main bed.

Best stay in St. Augustine in uears!

We loved our stay! As life long boaters and having owned several sailboats it was great to get some "boat sleep"! The best sleeping situation you can get. The boat is pretty, clean and has all the comforts needed. The additional benefit of have several quality food trucks was great. The marina is clean with great restrooms with showets. We will DEFINITELY be coming back!!

Not as Pictured

When we arrived, we were shocked. The boat was in disrepair and nothing like the pictures. When I opened the hatch, roaches scurried out of the light. The stove does not work. There was no microwave, so we couldn't cook on board. They informed us that we would have to use the marina bathhouse for showers and #2. This was supposed to be a surprise for my wife on our anniversary. We were surprised, that's for sure. So much so that we shut the boat up and left, and demanded a full refund based on the misrepresentation of the boat. It's been over a month and we still do not have a refund of the 700 plus we paid. They say they are "processing" the refund, but it doesn't take that long. I fear we have not only been lied to but also that our money has been stolen. Avoid this boat and this broker at all costs.

Boat experience a one and done for us

First, I want to start out on a positive note, and say the property management company was very responsive, the check in process was very well explained, and the Marina itself was small and easy to navigate. The food trucks were a fun perk, and the marina bathrooms were clean and served their purpose. Now, onto the boat itself. It was run down, which was fine, everything still functioned, but it SMELLED HORRIBLE inside. When we first opened the hatch we were overwhelmed by a very foul odor. We tried to open up the front and rear hatch to "air it out" , but nothing helped. We spent as little time as possible on the boat because of this. And after two miserable nights sleep, our clothes, suitcases, and anything we had to store on the boat absorbed that awful smell. Everything had to be washed. That being said, when I reached out to the property manager, they were very responsive, and did have someone come out and investigate the "head". They said it was empty, so that was not what was causing the smell. It was seriously one of the most foul odors, think of porta potty in August. Just really bad. My husband is not sensitive to smells at all, and even he was overwhelmed. All I can think is it is the residual odor from the "head" even when empty smells rotten and awful. We originally decided to stay on a boat vs a home as a cool experience, but for sure a one and done for us. Never again.
