The Nautical Nights - A 2-bedroom Grand Banks in the woods outside Seward!
Introducing the Motor Vessel Nautical Nights! She will be ready for rentals June of 2026! *more pictures will be added as progress is made! The Nautical Nights is an authentic 1979 Grand Banks that is 34 feet long. You will walk through the woods and up a few steps to your "Boat Dock", where you will board through the port side door into the main salon. There you will find a wifi smart TV, gas stove and oven, refrigerator, sink, microwave and all the utensils and dishes needed to make all your meals aboard! While in the salon, you will also find the main dinette with seating for 4, and of course the Captains Helm where you can plot your course through the woods!
Forward of the main salon is the forward berth (bedroom) that is down a couple of steps. There are 2 twin size memory foam mattress that make up the V berth bed, as well as storage drawers and a closet for your clothes, and a Head (Bathroom) with a toilet and a shower (no sink).
Back in the main salon, you can head aft (back of the boat!) and down a few steps to the main stateroom (bedroom). There is one full size bed, one twin, a built in desk/vanity table, lots of storage and a Head (bathroom) with a toilet, sink and shower.
The entire interior of the Nautical Nights is teak and left as original as possible.
She is spotlessly clean and appliances are updated to "normal" toilets, sinks, etc..., so no knowledge of boats is required! However, she is Original, so there are low areas (the average headroom is about 6 foot), things to step over, steps up and down, etc... In addition, this is our newest rental, but we have been at this for over 10 years, we are one of the longest running nightly rentals in the Seward area, and have a 4.9 star rating, so we try very hard for a spotlessly clean amazing stay!
For entertainment, guests can expect to find Smart TVs. Kitchens, washing machines, and 1.5 bathrooms are also standard.
