second stay
Don is a fantastic host. The boat is a perfect base for fishing either ocean or bay side being right on Tavernier Creek. No issues with boat (AC, plumbing, kitchen bbq, etc) Everything needed was in easy walking distance around the Marina. I'll be back!

Big boat.
Don is a very nice host. The boat was what I expected. Unfortunately, we had to leave a day early due to an odor. Don worked things out with us and was very helpful.

Went for a weekend get away
Our stay was great! This is an antique boat so do not expect a 5 star resort or anything. We met up with Don so he could show us around and give us the keys and after that, we watched football in the dining area and also really enjoyed having some drinks on the top deck. Really cool place!

Islamorada
Someone form VRBO really needs to go see this boat. As a boat owner myself I understand there is a lot of maintenance but this place is disgusting! I have photos I am happy to share if you let me know where to send them. The owner was very nice but that is the only positive comment I have

Boat Stay
It was not the typical rental. It was “fun” but loud the first night because of a party.
