"This boat is definitely only for people that can handle the nomad lifestyle. There are no restroom facilities on the boat, but there is a community bathroom with a shower at the yacht club. The bathroom was very dirty, but I understand that isn’t the hosts fault. The boat itself could benefit from a good deep clean. Really enjoyed sleeping with the hatch over the bed open and looking at the stars. Security roams the place at night and we didn’t have to worry about leaving our swim suits/towels...

"This boat was really a special find. Its a trawler so more room than a sailboat. The owner, Taylor has been refinishing it, so there are some spots under construction but minor enough not to ruin your stay. The marina is very safe and sea lions keep you company. One of the true highlights is his upper deck patio area. It has comfy chairs, a grill and high enough up to get a great view of the harbor. This is his home as well so plenty of added personal touches.v. spots sinder"

"I spent a month on the houseboat called “Salty Dog”. I had my 20 lb puppy, Tilly with me and a friend who is a professional pet sitter came and joined us a few times. Two things really impressed me. 1., the boat was superbly equipped as if ready for a long range voyage and 2. The neighbors were all Salties - creative, fun, and helpful. Proximity to everything from a grocery store , laundry and to a pub and a bunch of great local restaurants all within walking distance was great. Parking was easy...
