Staying on the boat for the most part was an amazing experience. It was quiet and serene on the marina and so beautiful at night. It was close to public transit and in waking distance of a great beach that wasn't overrun with tourists. If you are looking for a unique experience that centers around being close to the water than this boat is for you. It was however similar to camping. It was too hot during the day to be inside the boat or to take siesta and the public showers were quite a hike away. The toilet smelled and you would catch wiffs every now and then. The boat wasn't super clean and had ants in it. It also didn't have some of the things in the pictures like a little bridge from the dock - you just had to jump which was fine for us but probably not everyone. The bed was small and my boyfriends feet hung off the bed. I can't imagine fitting more people than 2 in that thing. I am very glad that we had that experience but if we had been there any longer than 2 nights it would have been a different story.
