About this property

Spacious 46' Yacht: Luxury, kayaks, walk to town

Floating cozy and charming "Blue Goose" is located in the heart of Gig Harbor where all of the historic sites and restaurants are within a short walking distance. Rare boat at a rare historic net shed and dock. Use the provided kayaks to paddle around lovely Gig Harbor--or paddle to the Tides Tavern or Anthony's seafood for lunch! Complete with two en suite staterooms, a cozy living room, and a view of sunsets and Mount Rainier! Sit on the upper deck for coffee/cocktails, bbq, watch activity.
The space
The beds are tight! They fit two folks but it’s tight. So plan to cuddle!
Guest access
The net shed, other docks and boats are not included with this rental.
Other things to note
Occasionally there will be events/celebrations in the net shed. Please feel free to walk through to access your boat. Know that we will comply with quiet hours at 10pm too. For safety, the propane oven has been disabled.

Additionally, the harbor pump out service services the septic tank on the boat weekly - it will not interfere with your stay as they only access the outside of the boat.

Our host Michelle was amazing in every way! The boat was peaceful, cozy, and wonderful. We walked around the corner to the Tides Tavern for a wonderful dinner. The beds were very comfortable! Each cabin room has its own bathroom which is perfect! We would definitely stay again. Thanks so much Michelle for a lovely yacht stay we will remember forever.

This was an incredible place to stay! The boat was completely clean - and warm! - when we arrived. Michelle was so communicative about the check in and check out processes. It was truly a night to remember! From the deck, we watched fish jump, a bright orange starfish relax, and birds fly overhead. We can’t wait to return one day!

Perfect quirky stay

We loved sitting on the deck watching the activity in the harbor. Location was perfect for walking to shops and restaurants. As you’d expect, a boat stay has its quirks — all part of the charm.

Perfect Gig Harbor experience.

The Blue Goose is right next door to the most happening spot in Gig Harbor, The Tides Tavern. Designated parking was a huge advantage. The boat itself is beautiful and nicely appointed and the host was very responsive to our emails.

Wonderful Getaway

We had an amazing time on the beautiful Blue Goose. So many lovely details both in how the boat is designed and in how the property owners set it up for us. We were welcomed by calm music, lighting, wine, snacks, and everything was just so. Thanks for providing such a special place. Truly a dream boat.
