About this property

Sleep on the water! Cozy Yacht Experience 5 mins from the beach.

Escape the ordinary and enjoy a one-of-a-kind overnight stay docked right on beautiful Shark River. This cozy boat stay is perfect for guests looking for something different than a hotel, condo, or regular rental. Wake up to peaceful waterfront views, enjoy amazing sunsets, and relax in a unique floating getaway near the Jersey Shore.

The boat is set up for a comfortable and fun stay with WiFi, music, paddle boards, a BBQ grill, a fridge, a half bathroom, and a working hot-water shower on board. Guests can relax by the marina, enjoy the water, listen to music, and enjoy the peaceful feeling of staying right on the water.

One of the best parts of this experience is the location. The boat is docked on Shark River, known for its calm water, beautiful views, and incredible sunset scenery. Guests can even fish right from the boat, making it a great stay for anyone who loves the water, fishing, boating, or simply relaxing outdoors.

You are also in a great Jersey Shore location — just 5 minutes from the Belmar Boardwalk, about 10 minutes from Asbury Park, and only a 2-minute walk from Sunsets Restaurant, a local waterfront spot with food, drinks, and live music on weekends. It’s perfect for dinner, drinks, or a fun night out without needing to drive.

Optional add-on experiences may also be available for an additional fee, including jet ski rentals and deep-sea lobster fishing trips, depending on availability.

This stay is great for couples, small groups, birthdays, anniversaries, weekend getaways, fishing lovers, or anyone who wants to try the unforgettable experience of sleeping on the water.

Important Boat Stay Notice

Please keep in mind this is a real boat docked at a marina. The vessel may move naturally with the water, wind, and nearby boat traffic. Guests must be comfortable walking on docks and stepping on and off the boat. If you are prone to seasickness, uncomfortable with boat movement, or have trouble getting on and off a dock or vessel, this may not be the right stay for you.

House Rules

No fires or open flames on the boat. Guests must respect marina rules, quiet hours, safety guidelines, and the boat itself. Please treat the space with care so every guest can enjoy a clean, comfortable experience.

Come enjoy a peaceful night on Shark River, fish from the boat, watch the sunset, take a hot shower on board, walk to live music, and wake up to a view you will not forget.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
I’m from the New Jersey/New York area and I’ve always loved being around the water. I enjoy boating, coding, listening to music, and relaxing with beautiful waterfront views. Some of my favorite moments are spent sleeping on the boat, waking up on the water, and enjoying the peaceful marina lifestyle.

I created this experience because I wanted guests to enjoy that same feeling — something different, relaxing, and memorable. Whether you’re here for a quiet getaway, sunset views, fishing, music, or a fun Jersey Shore weekend, I want you to feel comfortable, welcome, and excited to experience sleeping on the water.

You can relax right by the water, fish from the boat, paddle board, enjoy music, grill, or take a short walk to nearby waterfront dining. Sunsets Restaurant is just about a 2-minute walk from the boat and offers food, drinks, and live music on weekends.

The location is also very convenient. You’re about 5 minutes from the Belmar Boardwalk and around 10 minutes from Asbury Park, where you’ll find beaches, restaurants, bars, shopping, live entertainment, and classic Jersey Shore nightlife.
