About this property

A PIECE OF THE SEA,,,,

Hello! And thanks so much for your interest in our Sas-sea at sea. Also, please make sure that you've read the description thoroughly! we HAVEN'T changed our prices in 5 yrs, if this isn't 100 percent appreciated, please stop your inquiry. BOAT STAYS ANCHORED. she's located approximately 3/4 MI from The Base Marina in a beautiful, very private and Serene cove! upon your arrival, I will run you out to the boat and go over everything with you. Our Sas-Sea at sea is an older boat, but she has all the systems/functions that you'll need to have a great stay! We will mention, that if your picky, high maintenance, or needy, that this may not be the adventure for you, but that there should likely be a Hilton or Marriott down the road for three times the price, that will have a mint on your pillow for you :-). Furthermore, this adventure has proven to be most satisfying for kids 60 and under :-) Often times you will have Manatee and dolphin come to say hi!! She has an abundantly stocked galley, with various seasonings, Olive oil, coffee, filters, etc.. the generator on the boat will supply ample power for whatever you required to cook, ac, coffee, toaster oven. It's design however, is not to run 24 hours a day. We supply you with 8 hours/ day, of run time on the generator, anything in excess of that we leave up to you to cover expenses for. That, helps us keep our costs down, translating into a much cheaper stay for you!!! The Captain's quarters, in front of the boat, offer a comfortable queen size bed for your hrs of very regenerating shut eye :-) The bathroom has a camper type porta- potty, and shower for rinsing off ( not heated), The boat has a nice stainless steel grill on the back, for you to enjoy cooking your favorites on) included with the boat, comes a double kayak, or for a little extra, let us know, and we can reserve a dinghy with motor for you! ( please see description pictures). Thanks again for choosing our boat, where you can look forward to spending a relaxing, decompressing time on our Sas-Sea at sea!!! cheers!! see ya soon!!
address is 99 Morris Ave, Keys Marine .typical check in time is 430-5pm. we also would recommend for you to pack lightly for this expedition! thanks again, and we'll see you soon!

When we arrived we were told we would not be receiving the boat we rented. (classic bait and switch) Instead we were shown to a half sunken hual. There were numerous safety hazzards and sharp edges(sarah gouged her leg on 1 such object).the electricity was questionable at best (none of the outlets worked there was a single cord run from a small generator (which ran out of gas after 20min) through a hatch from the topside down into the galley. The restroom was incredibly disgusting (cartridge toliet overhalf full from the prior renter and the smell permeated through out the entire vessel)The extra services discussed on the phone that he claimed to provide (snorkeling,fishing, sunset boat ride etc.) did not exist. The18ft digny we rented ahead of time specifically to fish and explore the bay and mangoves had issues with the 4hp outboard (prop would immediately cavitate whenever given any throttle so it would only operate at an idle)making it nearly impossible to manage even the short distance from the dock to the boat. The nighttime temps dropped into the low 40's and when we expressed concern for the lack of any kind of heat source or extra blankets we were laughed off and told "you'll be okay". That this is glamping I get no problem there. We're avid outdoors people we hunt,fish,camp regularly. Often time backpacking into remote areas. Expectations were that of a 30yr old camper on the water those were not met in anyway. We left at 3am on the 2nd night of a weeklong stay

We had an amazing holiday vacation over Thanksgiving in the Keys. The Sas-Sea was perfect for our trip, and Mark is an amazing host. He made sure we had everything we needed and stayed in constant contact throughout our trip. Everything was as listed, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience and host. We will definitely be back again for another houseboat adventure!

Great escape

We had a wonderful stay, it was short but it was wonderful. The boat was everything you need to get away from the busy world we all live in. We had another guy from marks boats stop over and show us a fishing spot. And it’s like nothing you have ever seen before. Overall it’s a great experience that we will definitely want to do again.

Overnight stay on our way down the Keys…

The boat was exactly what we wanted where we wanted it…nice secluded cove with only a few other boats around. The weather was as perfect as the sunset over the mangroves. Mark was the perfect host, giving us a quick tutorial on running the dinghy and more than enough water and ice for the night. It was one of my wife’s favorite nights that week! Thank for everything Mark - we will be sure to come back if the opportunity arises :)

Peaceful and Perfect

This was the perfect vacation for us! We stayed there 3 nights. So peaceful out on the water in Mark's boat! It has everything you need and Mark is the best host! He checks on you to see if you have everything you need. We enjoyed fishing and swimming right off the boat and exploring the Everglades at a nearby park. We saw manatees and dolphins near the boat. If you're someone who loves to experience God's beautiful creation first hand, this is the trip for you! I highly recommend Mark's boat!

Simply put, we set out looking for an adventure and that is exactly what we got. Personally, I am of the persuasion that it behooves all humans to read the " fine print" I mentioned this because Mark does a phenomenal job regarding his disclosure on what to expect. My very first conversation with him prior to our arrival , clarified all I needed to know. During our talk we discussed how " nothing is perfect " neither him or myself. However, we were in agreement that in life there are indeed perfect moments. That said, we absofreakinglutely experienced some supercalafragilisticexpialidocios moments. To be specific, sunsets & sunrises from the Sas-Sea were breath taking. My suggestion is if you're considering doing this , that you keep in mind the old adage "To each thier own". Me & my partner love the outdoors, love camping . IMHO this is "Glamping" only on a boat. Boy/Girl Scout rules apply "BE PREPARED" & Better to have it and not need it than to need it & well lol be sh*t outta luck . Also , again as Mark clearly mentions on his listing PLEASE READ...If you're expecting the Hilton....then stay there. I feel It's really important that you're aware.of what this experience offers & what it doesn't. Knowledge is powerful & the only foolish questions (* are the ones.you choose not to ask) Call first, talk to Mark, prior to booking. This will save both the renter & rentee a lot of unnecessary grief. Again within minutes of speaking with Mark I knew we wouldn't be disappointed

The boat was comfy and located in a peaceful cove. If your adventurous, and, like the description states, not expecting the Hilton, you'll love it. Oh, and if your exceptionally sensitive to mosquitoes, a good number of them found us. There's bug spray on the boat, but may want to bring some of your own too. Our host Mark was very responsive, and helped to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Beautiful sunsets and sunrises!

Pirate life! Spending a night on this boat was really unique. The bay is very peaceful, and the sunset/sunrise were impressive. For an adult of average height, the water is shallow enough to touch the bottom. Read the description before booking, because this is more rustic than getting a hotel room. As campers, this was right up our alley. The host left bug spray and drinking water on board for us. I suggest upgrading to the dinghy if you have familiarity with small water craft, it’s just faster and more convenient than the kayak. All said, very pleased with the experience and I plan to book again in the future.

Great host. Unique experience for Mom & Son trip. Peaceful & picturesque

We enjoyed 2 nights camping on water, away from people, among a handful of other boats, very generously distanced. It’s quiet and peaceful in a mangrove alcove, a 5 minute dinghy ride between the boat and main campground dock, bathrooms, shower, laundry, parking. Get the dinghy. It poured the day before & morning of our check-in. As with camping be prepared. I packed picnic blankets with plastic on one side, cloth on the other, flip flops/slides to wear on the boat. While the microwave & double burner stove were not functional, we did have a toaster oven, single burner electric hot plate, and a round propane grill. Electric is generator powered. The boat needs a small heat safe table on the deck to place the grill for cooking and offer a place to eat/drink on deck. Mark supplies gallon bottles of water, cooler/ice for cold food storage - so limit your perishable food on board. A Walmart is on the way down US 1, and a Winn Dixie & Family Dollar about a 10 minute drive below the campground to restock as needed. The boat’s camping toilet and shower room are clean. We did not use the shower. Tips: Pack an “overnight bag” for the boat don’t bring entire suitcase aboard. Bring mosquito netting (3 if using all 3 beds), mosquito “zappers”, camping lantern (solar powered), rope to create a clothing line above deck to hang/dry items. Host Mark is super helpful and communicative & wants guests to have a great time, just respect his boat. My 15 yo son loved the dinghy! Thanks Mark!

Weather cancelled

The rating is really not appropriate since we were unable to stay at all. A significant rain storm forced us to cancel and there was no availability to reschedule for the next day so we lost our payment. Mark was kind, and certainly can’t control the weather, so just be aware this adventure is at the whim of Mother Nature.
