About this property

Once-In-A-Lifetime Huge 5 Bedroom Sailboat Experience

Your Floating Getaway in St. Augustine

Welcome aboard your own floating escape! This spacious 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom sailboat offers a one-of-a-kind St. Augustine experience, combining the comfort of a vacation home with the adventure of staying on the water.

The boat features large, comfortable sitting areas with expandable tables, giving everyone plenty of room to relax, enjoy meals, play games, or gather together after a day of exploring. The fully stocked kitchen includes a stove and everything you need to prepare meals onboard, so you can enjoy a quiet breakfast on the water or dinner with family and friends.

Start your morning at our mini onboard coffee bar, where you can make a fresh cup of coffee using the French press. Then head up to the bow, where a couple of comfortable chairs provide the perfect spot to sip your coffee while watching the water, enjoying the breeze, and—if you’re lucky—spotting dolphins swimming nearby. The bow is also a beautiful place to unwind and watch the sunset.

Plenty to Do Onboard

You don’t have to leave the boat to have a great time. Play games with your group, relax in the spacious seating areas, enjoy a meal together, or simply take in the scenery around you.

And yes, you can stay connected while you’re out on the water! Starlink WiFi is available onboard, making it easy to share those epic vacation photos, stream entertainment, stay connected, or simply post a few “wish you were here” moments.

Location, Location, Location

You’re close to everything that makes St. Augustine special. The boat is a short walk to the beach and just a short drive from historic downtown St. Augustine, where you can explore historic streets, restaurants, shops, nightlife, and the many attractions that make the city such a popular destination.

It’s the perfect combination: close enough to enjoy everything St. Augustine has to offer, while giving you a peaceful place to come back to on the water.

The Dinghy Adventure

Getting to the boat is part of the experience! We provide a dinghy for guests to travel between shore and the sailboat. Before your stay, we’ll provide instructional videos showing you how to safely operate the dinghy, so you can feel comfortable with the process before heading out. You are responsible for the dinghy so please make sure its always securely tied when not in use. If you're bringing little ones, please make sure you bring life vest fitted for them!

The dinghy ride is more than just transportation—it’s part of what makes staying on a boat such a memorable experience. There’s something pretty special about leaving the shore behind and cruising out to your floating home for the night. Getting on and off isn't always easy, so please make sure you can physically handle the adventure!

A Stay You’ll Remember

Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a couples’ trip, a weekend with friends, or simply want to experience St. Augustine in a completely different way, this isn’t your typical vacation rental.

Wake up surrounded by water. Make coffee and watch for dolphins. Spend the afternoon at the beach. Explore historic St. Augustine. Come back to the boat, relax on the bow, play some games, and watch the sunset over the water.

It’s part vacation home, part floating adventure—and an experience you won’t soon forget.
