You'll have the entire house boat to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Cozy boat right on "Las Olas" 10 min walk to the beach

This is a Carver 30' x 10’ yacht with a spacious layout, which include a cozy cabin with a full bed that accommodates 2 guests comfortably, a salon with a galley, and dinette that turns into a bed, and also a sofa bed, all climatized with marine-grade ac. in addition, a bathroom with electric toilet and stand up shower. on the other hand, there's an upper deck with a bimini top where guests can appreciate the city skyline and sunsets in the dock and share a drink or a meal. Also, the bow of the boat can be used to take a sunbathe and get tanned. We conveniently provide sun pads and kayaks for guests to enjoy. The boat is going to be stationary at a dock, which is a mile away from the beach to the right, and a mile away from the famous "Las Olas Blvd." to the left. We also provide beach cruising bikes for guests to move around if needed. The area is full of daytime activities, and nightlife to ensure you have a wonderful experience and memories. It is important to notice that this is not a party boat; in fact, this is a quiet neighborhood where loudness is not allowed to respect neighbors from houses and boats around, like you would do in your own residence. This doesn't mean that music is not allowed, actually, the boat is equipped with a stereo that has indoor and outdoor speakers, just be mindful that is not meant for parties.
In addition, the experience is designed for couples, if one more person needs to be added, it can be done, but only at traveler's risk.
Consider this like camping in the water, but with ac, power, hot water, wifi, and tv, among other perks for entertaining, like kayaks, and bikes. It is worth noticing that the dock is located in a prime location, meaning that is at walking distance from famous beach, and blvd. Called "las olas"
Important notice: the cancellation policy is moderate, so refer to rules and policies to get a better understanding of this categorization ( please read that carefully) once in the boat there will be no refund. Feel free to ask any questions and details before booking. We have earned the premiere host badge because we do care about our guests, so be asured that we will go the extra mile to make your stay the best possible.

A week onboard
It was a good week. Once I got the hang of the nuances of onboard living all was good - quiet and comfortable. Just right for a biz trip.

Perfect spot to relax !
We wanted a place for one night away from the chaos and big hotels. What we found was a perfect gem. It has charm and all the necessities ( even candy and chips!! ) . It has a nice view , pool and kayaks available. Javiar , the host, was so easy to communicate with. He sent pictures to help us and allowed us late checkout. We will be back!! It was an overall wonderful experience!!

Delayed maintenance.
Small and cramped, but we expected that. However, there are several maintenance issues that need to be addressed. The stool didn't flush properly so the boat really smells like a combination of gasoline and sewage. The owner asked us not to put toilet paper down the stool and to flush it with a gallon jug of water -- okay when you're camping but not when you're paying more than you would for a decent hotel in the area. Shower just dribbles and never did get very warm. Breaker to the AC kept tripping so we had to keep turning it back on. It rained and the roof leaked on our bed while we were sleeping. Tried to move to the futon/couch (very small) but the window frame leaked in on us there. Had to use towels to stop rain water from coming in. Dock area is a mess. The advertised bicycles were inoperable. Never did find the pool or kayaks. Seems like a nice couple but if you're going to be in this business, you need to keep your rental up.

Good Experience...Once
I booked this boat as soon as it was brought to my attention. Seemed like an interesting experience rather than the usual hotel. Overall it was worth doing. A few notes: The owner is wonderful and very responsive to anything you needed. The nearby area is pretty run down- pool condemned by the city and rather junkie area. Not a place you lay out in the afternoon. The bathroom experience is "interesting." I'm pretty tall and when I raised the shower to my head (the bathroom faucet lifts out) there was nothing but a meager trickle. Also, using the toilet is an adventure in patience. The directions on the wall say not to flush toilet paper. Mmm. On the positive side, we enjoyed kayaking in the morning and having coffee on the fly deck. The bed was better than expected, and the boat was extremely clean. Plus the walk to the beach was manageable. If you want something different and can deal with the weak restroom experience than this is a place worth booking. I am glad we did it, though I wouldn't book it again. I wanted 3.5 stars, but decided to round up.

An outstanding and unique place to stay in Fort Lauderdale
We stayed for 2 nights before boarding a cruise. Was a great and amazingly different experience. The boat is ideal for smaller parties. Was perfect for my wife and myself. The location is ideal - a 30 min walk to either great restaurants and shopping on Los Olas Boulevard or the beach. Javier, the host. is amazing. He prepared us really well with all info needed before we arrived and responded immediately to any questions we had. The boat ia a little rustic but this made for a unique and very cool experience. Would definitely stay there again
