YOUR HOME ON THE BAY
Each of our Houseboats is equipped with all the essentials to make your stay comfortable. From the fully outfitted kitchen to the cozy sleeping quarters, you’ll feel right at home while floating on the bay.
There’s nothing quite like the view from our Houseboats. Enjoy your morning coffee on the deck, watch the sunset with a glass of wine, and stargaze late into the night.
