This is a unique experience, with a tranquil ambience. MB Nautilus is about 10 mins walk south of Erasmus Bridge, and five mins from a water taxi stop. The marina has bars, shops, and restaurants, the Pincoff Hotel is good for a late breakfast and meals, and there are 2 x supermarkets within a 10 mins walk.
If you love boats and water, or like me, have maritime connections, this is for you. You need to remember this is a 100+ year old boat, and its age and limitations mean some compromise on facilities. Having said that, plenty of hot water, a good clean shower and toilet, fridges, and a coffee machine, made this a comfortable stay. Relaxing on deck with a drink, or with friends in the evenings was delightful, but being on the water it can get a bit chilly in the evenings.
With a speed of 30 knots, the local water taxi's are very James Bond, and can get you in 5/10 mins in style, to the landing stages for the New York Hotel Restaurant, or near the town centre, and many other locations, from the pontoon 5 mins away on the river by the Pincoff Hotel.
