The space
"Because Hotels are Boring"

The boat must remain in the marina. The boat is for Lodging only and can not be moved from the slip. Air-conditioned or heat to your liking.

Sunbathe on the deck, watch tv in the cabin, swim in the pool (Seasonal), hang out in the hot tub, or at North Beach, much more. This is marina life!

You will have access to all marina amenities, including an outdoor patio and grilling area, bar, Laundry, Showers, bathrooms, and restaurant. Most importantly it is very close to downtown restaurants and outdoor bars.

The marina includes access to hot showers and clean restrooms. Accessible 24/7 and just a very short walk from the boat.

There is a stove, microwave, fridge, and coffee maker aboard, however, there is no oven. There is a restaurant at the marina and many more delicious places to eat within walking distance.

There are 3 sinks with hot/cold water and two flushing toilets on the boat. The marina has 3 very nice, clean shower facilities, two of which are less than 100 yards from the slip.

This is a stay aboard boat and guests will not be allowed to take the boat out of the slip.

Pools and Hot Tubs are typically open mid-May thru September - Weather impacts availability as well as mechanical issues should they exist. These are out of our control. If the pool and/or hot tubs are closed for any reason, we are not responsible and no refunds or credits will be applied. There is a beautiful sandy beach within walking distance.

IMPORTANT: Linens will be provided ONLY for the number of guests you list. Linens are not included for 1-night stays, you must bring your own. If you list one person, only one bed will be prepared for you. For insurance purposes and marina requirements, we also must know the TOTAL number of people included in your reservation.

Keep in mind that staying aboard a boat will not be the same as staying in a hotel or a home. Boats move when you walk, they have tripping hazards, the headspace is less, stepping on and off can be challenging; so please set your expectations properly. We have gone to great lengths to make the space cozy and easy to get around in, however, we encourage guests to look through the pictures and consider any personal mobility limitations that might make this a challenging stay.

Please bring a rain jacket if inclement weather is expected.

2. Enjoy the Pool and Hot Tubs at the Marina

3. Discover the Wind Point Lighthouse

4. RELAX on the boats deck with your favorite beverage

5. Breakfast downtown at the Maple Table or Mrs. Betty's Kitchen

6. Lunch at Dewey's or Joey's Yard Arm

7. Dinner at Old Madrid, Corner House or Brew House Pub or grill out on the patio (two gas grills, tables, and fire pit available)

8. Looking to participate in a weekend endurance event - go

9. Don't forget to pick up a famous Racine Danish Kringle on the way in at O&H Bakery located off Hwy 20 (5910 Washington Avenue), or off Hwy 11 (4006 Durand Avenue) or near the marina (1841 Douglas Avenue) - We recommend the Chocolate Pecan or Almond Macaroon.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Can I check in early, can I check out late?
A: Unfortunately we cannot give early check ins or late check outs because our cleaners need that window of time to properly clean and get the boat ready for you (or the next guest). Keeping the space clean is one of our top priorities and to do so limits our ability to be flexible with those times.

Q: Can I take the boat out on the lake?
A: No, this is a stay aboard listing only.

Q: If I pay extra will you take me out on the lake?
A: Although we would love to offer this, at this time we are not licensed to do so.

Q: Does the boat lock from the inside?
A: The main cabin doors do lock from the inside. The marina is very safe and is complete with security gates and guards that patrol at night time, so locking the doors isn’t necessary.

Q: Are there many bugs around the boat at night?
A: Depending on the time of year you visit, you may find that there are some flying bugs. The best way to avoid them getting into the cabin is to keep the lights inside the boat to a minimum while you have the doors open (they love to follow the light). We are very diligent at using means to discourage their presence.
