About this property

Cozy Romantic Sailboat Experience, Safe Marina + Walk to Bars, Dining and more!

Looking for a fun and unforgettable stay on the water? Welcome aboard our cozy sailboat in beautiful Marina del Rey! This charming floating retreat is perfect for couples or adventurous travelers looking for a unique experience just minutes from Venice Beach.

The marina is a safe and lively area with security regularly patrolling, and youā€™ll be surrounded by ocean views, great cafĆ©s, and amazing restaurants all within walking distance.

Our sailboat is small but incredibly comfortable and full of character. It truly comes to life at night with beautiful ambient lighting that creates a magical vibe while you relax on the water. Fall asleep surrounded by the gentle sounds of the marina and wake up to sunshine and sea life ā€” including our famous neighbors, the playful sea lions!

Inside the boat youā€™ll find everything you need for a comfortable stay:

Mini fridge and mini freezer
Gas and electric cooktops
Coffee maker, blender, and water kettle
Cozy heater that keeps the cabin warm while maintaining great airflow
One of the best parts of staying here is falling asleep under the stars and waking up on the water ā€” itā€™s a peaceful and memorable experience you wonā€™t find in a typical hotel.
Thereā€™s also plenty of fun nearby! Paddle boarding, kayaking, and other water activities are available in the marina, making it easy to enjoy the ocean lifestyle.
Please note: this is a sailboat experience, not a five-star hotel. Itā€™s cozy, adventurous, and perfect for adventurous travelers looking for something different. Access requires stepping onto the boat, which can be a bit challenging, so it may not be ideal for older guests or anyone with mobility issues. While there is no bathroom inside the boat, the marina provides clean bathrooms and showers just a super short walk away. (Around a 15 second walk!)

Iā€™m always happy to help make your stay amazing and share tips about the area, so donā€™t hesitate to ask if you need anything!
Come enjoy the ocean breeze, the sea life, and a one-of-a-kind stay on the water.
Thank you for looking!
