SeaSuite was everything I anticipated and much more! It shares the fine craftsmanship of a luxury yacht with the intimacy of a studio suite. Every detail is carefully considered, from plenty of hot water (hard to find on most boats) and a full-sized shower (also hard to find on many yachts) to a comfortable queen-sized bed with luxury linens.
SeaSuite's huge windows create a cheerful, light-filled space with water views on all four sides. Everything is spotless and new. The kitchen/galley is beautifully appointed with what you'll need to enjoy meals aboard. However, its current moorage in the heart of Sidney by the Sea also encouraged us to explore the amazing array of coffee shops, ethnic eateries and fine restaurant choices within walking distance.
The upper deck is the perfect place to enjoy drinks and a 360-degree water view! Our first night aboard was quite windy but we slept like babies rocked to sleep by the moving boat. It was exciting to hear the wind in the rigging of nearby boats.
We were provided a comprehensive overview of the on-board systems by the designer/owner to ensure our comfort; knowing that boat systems are different than a standard hotel room. He also acted as an ambassador to his city letting us know great places to eat, hike, shop and explore. The city has a nearby Salish Sea aquarium and the Star Movie Theater. The marina SeaSuite is located in is within walking distance of the Washington State Ferry terminal.
It's hard to describe the feeling of sleeping on a boat to someone who has never done so, but it is a whole different and wonderfully relaxing experience.
SeaSuite is a one-of-a-kind adventure and one you'll be talking about long afterwards.
