Awesome stay! We especially loved the cruise under the golden gate. It was so spectacular and the crew was very knowledgeable about the area. The boat has so much charm and history and we really like staying somewhere out of the ordinary. It is definitely like glamping but worth it for the sunrises on the bay. One regret is not booking a sauna on the fjord right next door to boat.

Beautifully restored historic boat on the San Francisco Bay. We saw seals and herons, and enjoyed being right on the water. It is adjacent to the floating sauna fjord. Sadly, very popular so tricky to book.This vessel is cared for by a wonderfully attentive host.

Amazing experience!

My husband and I knew that we would like to stay somewhere different but also get a chance to see San Francisco. We booked a tour and stay on this historical yacht. It was quite the experience. A little piece of heaven and history was exactly what we needed. The staff was great as was the host! If you are looking for a great experience, look no further!

Breathe the salt air that heals the soul.

Retired from the Navy, our stay was peaceful. The gentle rocking of the boat, smell of the salt air, and the beautiful surroundings made our visit one for the books. As a professional photographer and documentarian in Iraq and Ukraine, this was the perfect way to find peace.

It’s a well restored 100 yr old yacht. Having lived on boats years ago it was especially sweet to stay here. The private cruise was perfect, the captain and mate shared their knowledge of the area. We genuinely enjoyed seeing the sights from the vantage point of the yacht. The marina was nice and honestly we were happy to stay in Sausalito and travel to SF for all the tourist stuff. Overall, great place to stay for a couple nights. Leave time to just chill a board the yacht, so relaxing. FYI- the sauna/cold bay plunge looked awesome but requires separate reservation/fee and it was booked for 3 weeks so we were sad to not be able to experience that.
