The Catamaran Cruiser includes all of the bare necessities one needs and all the comforts to give you that home away from home feeling...including an outdoor charcoal grill within the community!!

Water Condo", "Floating Cottage", "Cabin on the Water" are typical descriptions of Catamaran Cruisers' newest houseboat concept has arrived in MANTEO, NC! Thoughtful custom design and beautifully finished inside and out, the Catamaran Cruiser features an open and bright main salon, while the master stateroom features a panoramic water view and a private deck. 2020 Smart TV in living room! 170 sq feet of outdoor decking!

The toilet and shower amenities on-board are there for your convenience, just be mindful of your use when you are able!
Hot water tank is 12 gallons and takes about 25 minutes to refill and therefore you may enjoy the amenities of in-ground plumbing at the easy to access just a few steps away clubhouse or ship store (total of 4 showers) if you enjoy longer showers and would rather all parties shower at the same time to expedite the getting ready process.

Stay on the Love Boat

We loved,loved, loved the Love Boat on the Shallowbag Bay. It was so relaxing and enjoyed our time there. The Bay was so nice. We loved watching the boats come in and out. The pool was awesome and we met some really nice folks there and the food at Stripers was delicious. This is the place you should come and relax and just do nothing. Although we did not meet our host, the communication was very good and we knew if we needed anything or had an issue she would have taken care of it. I would 100% recommend staying on the Love Boat. We had the best time.

A great place in a quiet marina

We stayed for two nights and enjoyed our stay. The boat is located in a smaller and quiet marina with all the amenities. Convenient location to shops and attractions. The boat was steps away from the clubhouse which offered great showers and a fitness room. The boat was very clean and as advertised. Communication with the host was top notch. We visited the Elizabethan gardens nearby and highly recommend that as well. Thank you for a great experience
