Ventura Boatel Stay on a boat in the best location in Ventura Harbor Great Views

Best location in the harbor! This is a 40ft Boat with gorgeous sunset and harbor views. We call this a "Boatel" because it is a like a "Floating Hotel" or a large RV on the Water. Plenty of room to sleep and relax. You will get to experience living on a boat, but since it is always attached to the dock you will never have to worry about sea sickness! It is less than 100 feet to all the action at Ventura Harbor Village with fantastic restaurants, live music, Island Packers for trips to the Islands, boutique shops, famous ice cream shop, wine tasting, electric and paddle boat rentals, gorgeous beach across the street, and more! We offer FREE high speed WiFi!
The space
Our boat is like a RV on the water and permanently moored at the heart of Ventura Harbor Village with amazing restaurants, island packers for trips to the Island, live music, fantastic beaches across the street, shops, bird watching, surfing, wine tasting, and more. There are 2 staterooms, one full bath with shower and one 1/2 bath. The salon has a futon for extra sleeping and a Smart Tv with netflix, prime, games, etc for evening enjoyment. The galley has a full refrigerator, kitchen sink, microwave, electric skillet, crock pot, drip coffee maker (starter pack of coffee included) and is fully equipped with other small appliances, plates, glasses, etc. There is a covered deck (fantail) for dining and harbor viewing. We now have high speed internet so you can work remotely with this incredible view, stream Netflix, etc and stay connected. We are proud to be CA Green Certified! We do provide compost and recycling bins and encourage their use. Also search our sister Boatel, Boatel California, right next to this Boatel. Very similar except with an open fantail with umbrella.
Guest access
You have full access of our boat which is moored permanently at the dock. Please note that no kayaks, SUPS, or other water craft can be left on the docks for safety reasons. You can rent kayaks, SUPs, paddle boats, electric boats approx 75 yards away from the Boatels at Ventura Boat Rentals. If you would like to bring your own, that is fine - please let us know so we can discuss options and harbor rules. If you would like to rent both of our Boatels, see our sister Boatel - Boatel California which is right next door.
Other things to note
Also search for our sister Boatel, "Boatel California" which is right next door. Very similar, same size but with an open fantail which an umbrella so you can have sun when you want or shade. We now have high speed internet so you can work remotely with this incredible view, stream Netflix, etc. Remember to pack light. You will be entering your "BOATEL" down a dock and up a set of docksteps. We will give you complete instructions for our marine style toilets and showers, but there are also full restrooms with additional showers and laundry facilities available for marina guests (we will provide keys). NEVER, EVER put anything down the Head (toilet) EXCEPT the provided marine toilet safe toilet paper. I know it sounds yucky, but Marine Heads are notoriously sensitive. Most recently, a Paper Towel was flushed and clogged the Head, burning up the motor, rendering it unusable for the rest of the visit. Guests who flush objects down the Head resulting in plumbing problems will be responsible for the cost of repairs. I can't emphasize the importance of this enough. There is a trash receptacle provided for other items like feminine products, moist towelettes, paper towels, etc.
