The owners were excellent to work with and they had a bottle of wine waiting for our arrival. Do bring slippers or socks with a little bit of grip because there are two sets of stairs within the boat.

It was super clean and all plumbing worked perfectly which I worried about given that it's a boat. Our only negative was that the bbq wasn't really usable, the freezer didn't work, and I didn't find a toaster. That said, the owners were super friendly and the boat is amazing. My guess is that they'll get these things figured out. We'd definitely stay again. ##### David H. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### robyn b.

Nestled between 7 Seas and The Tides Tavern, this beautifully refurbished yacht was thr perfect spot. We had several days of great weather ("The mountain was out!"), and got to experience the Maritime Gig Festival. Wildlife abounds with harbor seals, bald eagles, osprey, purple martins and more. The boat is very well appointed, with an espresso machine and full kitchen. The beds were comfy and warm and the boat is sprinkled with interesting information about the LYLA's history, including the really cool table containing its original blueprints. It's clear Kenzie and Griffin have put a ton of thought and love into this property. They were super easy to communicate with and so friendly. Thanks for a great stay. We'll be back! ##### robyn b.

I would recommend renting a car if you are coming from Seattle area since rideshare out to Gig Harbor gets expensive to the area.

It was enough room for four of us and a great location. We took out kayaks right from the dock and could walk everywhere. The bunk room needs improvement. The top bunk has a window and it makes the sheets and bed damp and the whole room musty. My son actually got sick on the third day and I think it's from the bed. My suggestion is to block off the window. Otherwise, we enjoyed the property. ##### Tamara M. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandy M.

Unique and cozy, it was a fun adventure in a beautiful location. We did have some issues with the bunk beds getting wet from some sort of leak during a very heavy downpour that displaced one person to the couch for 1 night. Griffin provided new bedding and a dehumidifier to help dry things out and the mostly dry weather for remainder of the stay kept things comfortable. ##### Brian K.
