Q: What to expect that's different than a hotel?
A: It's a boat, it is a unique FUN experience. There may be noises and smells that you'd expect from a boat. Pumps, motors, ocean water, etc. Every boat is broken the day it hits the water, especially salt water. We take great care of our fleet but we expect guests to tell us if anything isn’t working properly & we will PROMPTLY respond & will try to repair it in a timely manner.

If there's a bad storm or the wave action gets to a point that your stay is no longer enjoyable, we will do our best (no guarantees) to work out alternative accommodations for you. Your comfort is our top priority. 99% of the time the marina is almost totally flat and calm. If there is a tropical storm or hurricane warning issued in our county we offer full credits toward another stay on any of our vessels to accommodate the situation

A: No. This is a place to relax. We ask that there be no events or parties on the boats so the other guests can enjoy their stay. Quiet time after 10pm.

Q: Is the marina safe?
A: VERY. We have 24/7 surveillance. The parking lot & dock is well lit & the marina is right off US-1 which is one of the main roads in St. Augustine. All boats lock from inside & you can padlock the door when you leave if you wish to lock up your belongings. We’re here daily looking over the fleet.

Q: Handicap accessible?
A: No. You'll need to get on the boat which requires a 1-2' step and there are steps on the boat. The deck stairs are steep and you'll need to be sure footed.

Q: Parking?
A: Yes, you can park your car. Since it’s a small private marina the walk to the parking lot from the boat is only roughly yards away

Q: What if there is a hurricane advisory?
A: If there are hurricane advisories issued in the local area we are happy to move the reservations to a later date or issue a full credit toward another reservation with us. This credit can also be applied to our cruises and is transferable to other vessels.

Other Things to Note:

Boat bathrooms do not have the same plumbing. We do our absolute best to accommodate all our guests needs with constant communication and we’re here to make sure you enjoy your time in St. Augustine! ***

Dear Dream Aboard, I had high aspirations to give your company a 5-star review and I wish I could. My wife and I love to travel and not stay in the normal everyday brick and mortar style hotels. We chose your Sailboat based on the pictures, description, as well as the location. 5 Star for location, 2 Star for pictures vs actual, 2 Star for description, let me explain, the location was amazing, close to everything, and the marina is just top notch. Let's talk about the Munch Marina, in your description this should be a MAJOR focal point which was not. We did NOT have any idea what was within our reach until we actually arrived. You should go into more detail about Munch Marina, it's a very cool environment to say the least, I spoke with other guests staying in your Boatels and none of them had an idea as well. Pictures let's just say that the pictures are not close to accurate, that is being very nice. I will leave it there. Description of the vessel, well not having HOT water was not listed, all the other vessels were the same according to the other guests as well, the major inconvenience of having to take a shower at the marina was not a plus, now if you had stated this prior it might have made it a little easier. The manual toilet was not an issue except for when you flushed the horrible smell of a septic system went through the whole boat, and this was only going #1, neither healthy nor romantic. The sailboat is very dated and that's the issue.

All Aboard!!
It was a fun experience to stay on a boat for a few days, the view of the water was unbeatable. Cabin was a bit smaller than expected, but well organized.

A new experience
This was a new and exciting experience. Great sunrise from the back of the boat. This is not a hotel room on the water, but very charming. Everything on a boat is small, and tall people learn to duck. We enjoyed it. The listing says 1 bathroom but small boat toilets are different and they recommend doing #2 on land to avoid smell issues.
