One of the most surprising and interesting stays in Brooklyn. We stayed for one night, but wished it was four. The marina is incredibly secure (gated entrance that closes swiftly behind you) and full of friendly folks. We felt totally at home immediately. The boat is clean and full of cute decor; retro, unique, approachable and unpretentious.
I was worried the boat would be sweltering since there's no mention of AC in any of the reviews. But even with end-of-August heat we were cool and comfortable and got an amazing breeze flowing through.
The space is much larger than you think. There are two beds that fold out, so technically room for four. If you're not at the beach, you'll be lounging on the roof deck watching planes land at JFK. The noise from the planes didn't bother us - rather we enjoyed the activity.
The boats in the slips are close to each other, so don't expect to be alone. There was plenty of activity from neighbors unloading or loading fishing gear, but everyone we crossed paths with was extremely quiet and respectful. Didn't hear any loud music or parties into the night.
Already planning my next trip back! Truly tranquil, and we dragged our feet wailing when it was time to check out.
