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.
• 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 - or check them out by clicking the link below:

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.

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: We 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: There is a portable A/C and a portable heater for the colder months with plenty of insulation to stay warm at night! The portable AC is not like central Air so it may not be as cool as a house. For more powerful A/C vessels please see our bigger vessel listings.

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

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? Storm?
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.

Other Things to Note:
*** Please note: This is like a camping experience on the water in beautiful Downtown St. Augustine. These boats are here to provide a unique experience getting you close to the historic district and next to the marine life. Please do not mistake this experience with a house. Enjoy the breeze and open the windows during the day. A/C is constantly flowing and is great at night but may not be as strong as central A/C. We have built an entire bathroom facility right next to the dock equipped with great showers and restrooms. Please use them entirely if you are not used to boat smells. Boat bathrooms do not have the same plumbing. We do our absolute best to accommodate all our guests needs with constant communication and we’re here to make sure you enjoy your time in St. Augustine! ***
